When the secret is out of control, when it overflows around you

If you have an app on your phone that tells you that your boss has an affair with your co-workers, will you fall in love with it?

When there is a software on the Androping stage quickly red, named "Secret" app also landed in the Apple app Store on April 4, and it in a short day to jump to the free list of the 11th, social class free list of the first.

But the content of the "secret" began to get out of control as the user volume and spread began to exceed expectations.

Some people, under the cover of anonymous identities, constantly exposing the "xx is a Jerk", "XX and xx cheating", "XX is gay" and so on and so on the content began to circulate throughout the app, there are many high-profile attacks on the internet to announce their own deletion of the application, and even said bluntly " This application has brought out the most vicious pasta in human nature, and this application makes you feel like a liar in the life around you.

On the other hand, the product is hot, while the other side of the development of the "secret" team decided to temporarily close the temporary, ready to focus more on the update version, maintenance content, etc., but no matter how low-key, the previous claim to maintain the "no" team is now at the forefront.

The "anonymous" cover is out of control.

"Secret" based on mobile phone address book spread, a user at this stage can be registered with any mobile phone number, actually randomly input 11 digits can be, but the landing can be seen is their own mobile phone address Book user message, and then the Address Book Friends, plus the system pushed some of the same city hot secret, This is all the information a user can see at the moment, and users can choose "Praise" and "comment" to speed up the spread of content, which is anonymous.

On the evening of 4th, a friend shared a real experience in the afternoon she will share this application to a small company with only 100 people, from afternoon to evening, her secret information on the company's content began to brush the screen, most of the Boss XXX direct attack, there is "xxx too Pull" " XXX will only make people work overtime ", and even" I am xxx, you next week don't think better! " Such information appears. "There's even some information that's so special, it makes me think about who I'm talking about." ”

This experience has not only happened in this company this day. Before landing in the App Store on the afternoon of 4th, the app was already in a small range of internal communications, and it was only recommended for downloading on Web pages, when it was just a couple of VC investment rings. But after landing, the good and bad talk about the big internet companies and all kinds of people came up. Its active degree is visible generally.

As I said at the outset, some users of the comments made a clear revolt, said "induce malicious", "do not know what the significance", and then claimed to delete, but the result is no one high-profile stand out to the application, but the application of the speaker is more and more.

In addition to the working environment of people who know the malicious comments, the "secret" content of pornography and sexual content flooded the period. After users ' comments were anonymous, those who said good, descriptive positive energy quickly sank, and those who vilified, malicious spread, because a lot of "praise" by more people see.

From the disorderly posting to the fishing paste, to later related topic aggregation paste, to now develop to various branches, the current secret content and users have begun to grope for anonymous social path, in spontaneous production of various play.

Official: No one will know who sent it.

For all users, there is one message that everyone wants to know, and that is, "is this speech really anonymous?" is the system background visible? "

In this respect, the "secret" operations team responsible to the author that in the setup, backstage all the information is encrypted, it is impossible for everyone to identify who sent the content. This "owner" may be the root cause of such active content that encourages all people to speak ill.

In fact, the team is also trying to make content more manageable. The first is the establishment of a rule: "The official for the release of the following content is to be banned." 1, posing as the official publication of this product rumors, 2, endanger social stability and pornography content, 3, naming malicious personal attack content. But as to how these rules are qualified, and whether the team has effective executive power, this needs to continue to be observed, after all, from Sina Weibo began to operate to fully controllable content, Sina Weibo spent a year and up to thousands of of the auditor.

On the other hand, the secret official support user clicks the report, when the user discovers the violation content, suffers the malicious attack, sends the mail or the direct report will be dealt with directly. The personal experience of a real experience is that there is a direct insult to the author's comments after 10 minutes have been deleted.

Repeat the "Curse of the Web site" to escape the blame

In fact, the current situation of "secret" and many years ago the vent site and the abuse site is similar, because the content can be anonymously published, such sites have been filled with personal attacks, including rumors and slander.

The secret content is more broad, in addition to direct verbal abuse vent dissatisfaction, there is no lack of exposure to other people's private life, distorted the image of others, exposing the company's internal information and so on.

The Ministry of Public Security "Computer Information network Internet Security Management measures" fourth stipulates that no unit or individual may use the Internet to endanger national security leakage state secrets, shall not violate the national, social, collective interests and the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, shall not engage in illegal and criminal activities; No entity or individual may use the international network to produce, reproduce, inspect and disseminate information that is a flagrant affront to others or fabricating facts to slander others.

Shanghai Big Bang law firm partner, lawyer Yunting to NetEase technology, social platform involving personal malicious attack does violate the right of reputation, for the dissemination of hot, the team has a higher duty of care, if a malicious speech retention time is not short, it may not be exempted after the deletion.

Zhaohu, a well-known lawyer, said that the content of the material if true, but belongs to the scope of other people's privacy, it depends on the specific circumstances. The privacy of a star can be tolerated within a certain range in violation of the privacy rights of the ordinary person. If it belongs to a fabricated fact, slander others. Not only violates the right of reputation of others, serious circumstances, but also may constitute an insult to slander. In addition, Zhaohu said that if the description of the feature, so that everyone knows who is the case, the equivalent of roll call.

Zhaohu said that the network platform does not directly assume legal responsibility, only in the notification network platform to remove the infringement content, the network platform does not block the deletion of the case, only to assume joint and several liability. However, for anonymous communities, in the user reports, the public security organs involved in the investigation after the platform needs to provide information, can not provide the need to assume responsibility.

"Anonymous tools certainly have this risk, if only the personal reputation right to say, if the consequences of being used for political rumors can be serious, there is the possibility of being shut down." "Yunting thinks so.

As of press, the "secret" rankings in the app Store are still on the rise, while Android's large number of people involved in personal attacks have started to flee.
