On April 15, today's headlines and Tik Tok successively announced that in order to maintain a real and orderly discussion atmosphere and reduce bad behaviors such as impersonating parties to hot events, malicious rumors, and traffic, it is planned to display the IP domain of accounts on personal homepages and other places.

The account IP displayed on the platform belongs to the network location when the user posted or commented for the last time, and is displayed to domestic provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and foreign countries (regions).

The account IP displayed on the platform belongs to the network location of the last posting or comment, and is displayed to domestic provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and foreign countries (regions). The IP location of the account is subject to the information provided by the operator, and the related display does not support manual opening or closing.

After this news was released, it caused a hot discussion among netizens, and "Tik Tok account will display IP map" ranked first in Weibo.

Supporters believe that this move is "very necessary." Opponents believe that users can't choose whether to disclose their IP addresses.

On April 15, Aauto faster also announced that in order to maintain a good community order and prevent some netizens from rubbing traffic, spreading false information, impersonating parties and other behaviors that interfere with the normal discussion of hot events, Aauto faster plans to show the IP ownership of the account on its personal homepage and other locations.

15 night, Xiaohongshu announced that in order to maintain the real interactive community atmosphere and prevent local netizens from spreading rumors and pretending to be hot events, it is planned to gradually open the function of "displaying account IP domain on personal homepage".

Xiaohongshu said that after the function is launched, the geographic information of IP attribution will be displayed on the user's personal homepage, which will be displayed to domestic provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and overseas countries (regions), and the information will be subject to the data of network operators. In addition, this function is in the testing stage and cannot be turned on or off manually.

Weibo profile page added "IP territory".

In March this year, Sina Weibo announced the launch of the function of "User Profile Page Shows Recent Posting Sites".

According to the community announcement issued by the administrator of @ Weibo, hot events such as the situation in Russia and Ukraine and the domestic epidemic frequently occur, which has aroused great concern from netizens. While strengthening the investigation and disposal of illegal information, the station found that there are still some acts of pretending to be local netizens to publish and spread false information. In order to better maintain the communication order, on the basis of the previous functions, the station decided to launch the function of "User Profile Page Shows Recent Posting Location" to show the IP attribution of the last blog post or comment published by users in the last month.

At present, in Weibo, the user's "Personal Profile Page-Personal Information" column is opened, and the information of "IP Territory" is added, showing the provinces and cities to which it belongs, and it is indicated that "IP Territory is subject to the operator information. If you have any questions, please contact customer service. "

If I look at my profile page myself, I can't see the IP domain and I can't change it. But if you use someone else's account to check my Weibo information, you can see the IP domain. At the same time, after closing the access location authority of Sina Weibo, the IP territories are still displayed.

According to the Southern Metropolis Daily, "displaying users' IP territories" has been reflected in the departmental regulations of the National Network Information Office for soliciting opinions. Last year, on1October 26th, 10, the National Network Information Office issued "Regulations on the Management of Internet User Account Name Information (Draft for Comment)" (hereinafter referred to as "Draft for Comment"), which revised the version implemented on 20 15.

The "Draft for Comment" added the relevant provisions on IP territoriality: "The Internet user account service platform should display the account IP address territoriality information in a prominent way on the Internet user account information page. The territorial information of the IP address of domestic Internet user accounts needs to be marked to provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and the territorial information of the IP address of overseas accounts needs to be marked to countries (regions). "

On the afternoon of April 15, ByteDance Today Headlines and Tik Tok products announced that the IP domain name of the account would be displayed on the personal homepage. In the evening, Aauto Quicker also issued an announcement, announcing plans to show the IP ownership of the account on the personal homepage and other places.

Among them, today's headline announcement said that the related functions will be tested in the web version from now on, and will be gradually launched in other scenarios according to the test situation. On the other hand, Tik Tok said that related functions will be tested at the end of April and will be fully launched in other scenarios in the future according to the test results.

It is reported that the IP address of the account displayed in today's headlines and Tik Tok is the network location when the user posted or commented for the last time in the last month, which is displayed as provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions and special administrative regions) and overseas to countries (regions). Moreover, the IP location of the account is subject to the information provided by the operator, and the related display does not support manual opening or closing.

In the announcement, both today's headlines and Tik Tok proposed that the display of account IP is to maintain a real and orderly discussion atmosphere and reduce bad behaviors such as impersonating parties to hot events, malicious rumors, and traffic. Aauto Quicker said that it is to prevent some netizens from rubbing traffic, spreading false information, pretending to be parties and other behaviors that interfere with the normal discussion of hot events.

In fact, before ByteDance and Aauto Quicker launched this function, Weibo took the lead in launching this function in March this year. On March 17, the official account of Weibo said that Weibo would launch the function of "showing the user profile page of the recent posting place" because it found that some individuals impersonated local netizens to post and spread false information.

It is reported that Weibo also displayed the IP attribution of Weibo or comments posted by users for the last time in the last month on his personal homepage. The IP attribution display rules are the same as those in the previous comment area, and are displayed to domestic provinces/regions and foreign countries.

An Internet technology expert told 2 1 Century Business Herald that from a technical point of view, it is not difficult for the platform to display the IP attribution of users, because Internet services are all delivered through IP addresses, while many platforms used to display "a netizen in a certain place", which was actually achieved through IP attribution.

But for platform governance, this function is of great significance. Because in frequent hot events, the behavior of rubbing traffic has been repeatedly banned, and even a large number of rumors will breed. Through IP attribution, at least the content can be preliminarily screened to distinguish which users are really in hot events.

In March this year, the National Network Information Office announced the "Qing" series of special action tasks in 2022, including the special action to crack down on online rumors. It is reported that the special action proposes to comprehensively clean up the rumor information involving political economy, cultural history and popular science of people's livelihood, and label and clarify it.

Compacting the main responsibility of the website platform and strengthening the identification of all kinds of information generated by sensitive fields and sensitive events; Timely verify information from unauthorized sources with great influence and wide spread. Establish a traceability mechanism to seriously investigate the relevant responsibilities for first-time offenders, repeat offenders and platforms and accounts with serious circumstances. Establish and improve the working mechanism to control network rumors.

The display of IP attribution is also an important measure for Weibo, Today Headline, Tik Tok and other platforms to further promote the fight against rumors. An Internet source said that displaying the IP attribution function is also expected to become the standard for future Internet content platforms.

Several platforms display the IP domain function of users online, but before she started coming to us, we made a thousand phone calls and urged her for a thousand times. April 15, that is, National Safety Education Day, Tik Tok several media, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, today's headline, Phoenix. Com and Aauto faster announced that they would display the IP address of the account on their personal homepage. Some platforms have entered the internal testing stage, and manual opening or closing is not supported during the testing stage.

After the popularization of Internet in China, incidents such as cyber violence and cyber rumors have emerged one after another, and "Keyboard Man" is everywhere. Under the cloak of the internet, no one knows what "magic" is hidden behind the screen.

Now the Internet is very developed, the information flows very fast, and the confidentiality is very high. Many people feel that speaking freely and attacking others at will on the Internet need not bear any consequences. The Internet with extremely low voice cost has become a paradise for many spammers and rumors.

Recently, everyone should have heard that a Shanghai woman rewarded 200 yuan and a little errand boy was attacked by the Internet. Just because a group of netizens attack recklessly and push others to the wall, cyber bullies may still escape and be irresponsible. Xiao Lei believes that the Internet is not an extra-legal place. Attacking others on the internet should bear corresponding responsibilities. Displaying IP territory on the platform is a good start.

Weibo is one of the earliest platforms to display IP territory. Now, Zhihu, Tik Tok and other network platforms have begun to follow up the display of IP domains, and the IP domains of those accounts with cyber violence, rumors and malice have been exposed, so users who maliciously slander, attack others and make rumors should be restrained. I have to say that Weibo has made a good start in this respect, and I hope other network platforms can follow suit.

Since Weibo launched IP territory in March, there has been a farce (someone knows your IP address, how to protect your privacy? ) Still vivid, some "enchanting shadows" have been uncovered. I wonder what effect many media will have after launching IP territory?

The Internet is not a place of extra-legality, and there are laws to follow. Let's * * * build a clear cyberspace.
