"Sohu It News" Beijing time July 25 news, social media as a platform for information transmission is very efficient, but it can also cause unnecessary panic or send the wrong message. After all, from an objective standpoint, "too efficient" sometimes means "not handled carefully". Look back at your Facebook and Twitter all reprint links, every reprint of information and content have you checked carefully? In the United States, there are many examples of reprint error messages: When the jet crashed, the fuselage "flipped"? A few days ago, the Hana plane crashed in San Francisco, when a witness on Twitter said he saw the plane crash "flip". Although it is not possible to confirm what was going on when the plane crashed, the claim was much more damaging than the actual situation and had been spread around the world for a short time, causing panic among the population. In the face of this situation, we should use social media properly and make it a medium for your friends and family to be safe. If the crisis has not yet been lifted, the need to use the power of social media to warn people who may be affected. In any case, you should speak with caution and never exaggerate the rendering. The shooting suspect is the younger brother, but the elder brother is surrounded by the crowd? Connecticut, who was working at the time of the crime, was mistaken for false rumours as a crime on campus shootings, but in fact the man who committed the case was his four-year-old brother, Adom. Ryan Lanza, who was blamed by public opinion, finally had to make clear on Facebook: "That's not me." "Man wants to propose, but finds his girlfriend dead?" "The man in red was supposed to propose to his girlfriend after running the Boston Marathon and crossing the finish line, but he didn't think his girlfriend was dead," reprint the picture. Most people probably can't understand this kind of deep grief. "The picture was real and it was published in the Boston Globe, but the narrative was simply:" A man took care of an injured woman at the finish line. "When you turn to Twitter, you donate money?" "Every time we turn this article, we donate 1 dollars to the victims of the Boston Marathon," said one person who had been impersonating the Boston Racing Group on Twitter. "This information was released in just five minutes after the cumulative 50,000 push, but later proved to be false news, Twitter also blocked the user's account." Since childhood we have been told not to lie, not to spread is not a rumor, but in social media, it is increasingly difficult to verify the ins and the the authenticity of one thing. However, spreading "false good news" is disappointing at best, and spreading "bad news", whether true or false, is likely to cause many unnecessary panics. In the case of the Hana plane crash, in fact, the plane is a very safe means of transport compared to an average of 1.27 deaths per 1 million miles. But every picture of reprintAll convey the same message: flying is dangerous. The fear of this information, in addition to its potential impact on the economy, is more likely to encourage people to use more risky modes of transport. In an age of rapid information transmission, everyone is the recipient and publisher of information, and everyone can decide whether to be a blind person in a social network or to use their social power to contribute to the community and "really" solve the problem.
