What does Weibo bring to us?

A musician's microblog caused a storm.

He returned from his home "boycott" and sent a microblog: "The first day back to Beijing is to check some people's recent microblog ... There is no solidarity with the sale of light, draw a distinction, still not be sold by the willing to take their own ... Do not say the minimum principles and judgments, give you a chance to be a person do not, from the heart despise you!

This makes many people disgusted. "No attention, no forwarding, active and you draw the boundaries of" such comments, mixed with abuse. Like the usual events, supporters and opponents quickly "beat" into one. Support are friends, opposition is the enemy-the common "gang" dispute, another outbreak.

Fortunately, the parties were aware of the problem, and then apologized: "This morning I published the following micro-blog, the rough, but the words are extreme, as I am this person." This is only for some of my personal friends, in micro-Bo spit is not suitable, causing a lot of misunderstanding ... I'm sorry!

It is no exaggeration to say that many aspects of social life are being changed by microblogs. The definition of social platforms has made it difficult to cover the role of microblogs. Many people tend to regard it as a promising "from the media," and expect it to "compete with" the traditional media. Relatively small external constraints, the convenience of the network itself, hundreds of millions of users, it is true that Weibo can not be underestimated.

And it is this increasingly powerful communication power and influence that weakens Weibo as a private social platform of the "self" attribute. When we consider how "my microblog can be a concern", it is no longer a simple "from the media", but into the field of public opinion, and the speech on Weibo is no longer a private word but a public one. While it is impossible for a speaker to control the spread and impact of Weibo, it must be held accountable for the consequences it may have-you can abuse it at home, but in public, you will be convicted of defamation.

Yes, you can vent your feelings and express dissatisfaction on Weibo. But as a form of communication in the public domain, you have to behave yourself. Although it is "from the media", it does not mean that Weibo can accommodate all the "spit". As the musician put it, "some words are only for personal friends" and "very inappropriate" on Weibo. Less constraint doesn't mean you can say anything you want to say. We are highly vigilant in "guilty of words" and regard freedom of expression as an inviolable right. However, there has never been absolute freedom, there are boundaries and the bottom line of speech, especially in public statements, should not violate the law and others.

Network of public opinion, let us encounter micro-bo transmission of "reverse elimination"-the more calm, the more no one, the more extreme, the more eye-catching. So, often be extreme, impulsive, be baffled by emotional vent surrounded. Originally thought, more than a platform for public exchanges and dialogue, did not think that in micro-blog can not be reasonable.

To tell you the truth, our society is not good at accommodating dissent and dissent. If you look at some of the controversy on Weibo, you will find that both sides of the controversy are speaking from their own words, they want not "consensus", not right or wrong, not even ask the facts, but as long as "in a row." In fact, many times, what we need is not unity--nor can there be absolute unification, but tolerance and respect for different opinions.

The so-called "consensus" is merely a greatest that can be accepted after each other's compromise. It is not the ultimate goal of their ideals, but it is acceptable to both sides of a not bad result. You have the right to express your opinions, and so do others. No one can always be right, so please listen carefully, do not see "alien", on the ground. Even if the other person's view is extremely absurd, refuting, he also has the right to say.

Weibo is a microcosm of China today. From this, we can see the conflict, can see the social mentality, but also can see the people's quality. The flourishing of Weibo, let a lot of people rejoice, what should it bring to us in the end? must not be extreme anger, killing sound, not the naked "spit", not responsible for forwarding;
