The first confirmed patient in Baise, Guangxi claimed to be deprived of privacy. How is the information leaked?

After the first case of COVID-19 infection was diagnosed in Baise, Guangxi, personal information such as photos, addresses and jobs were exposed online. Many people also attacked him with verbal violence, including insults on the Internet and on the phone. People with ulterior motives slandered him, saying that he cheated at a banquet and caused an epidemic, saying that his car was also burned by villagers. Although the government departments have refuted this, it has undoubtedly caused great harm to the parties.

So, how did his information leak? Of course, it can't be leaked by the government epidemic prevention department. According to the analysis, it was spread slowly by the villagers around the patient. After the patient is diagnosed, he will be taken away for isolation, and then his family will also do nucleic acid tests, and all the villagers near his home will do tests, so that the whole village knows that the patient is the first case. People in the village will remind relatives and friends not to be infected. In this way, as soon as the news spreads and more people know it, the news will spread further and further until it continues to ferment on the Internet.

COVID-19 is so cunning that it is impossible to prevent him. As Xu Moumou, the first confirmed case in Baise, said, he didn't know where he was infected, because he had been taking preventive measures according to routine requirements. If he knew he was infected with the virus, he would never go home. The patient himself is not at fault, but some netizens' onlookers and questioning psychology made his privacy disappear and he felt very collapsed. Those low-quality netizens just want to be quick-witted, credulous and misinformed, making irresponsible remarks out of nothing, which not only infringes on the parties involved in the incident, but also worsens our network security environment, which is not conducive to the establishment of a green power grid.

Finally, we should vigorously publicize the Cyber Security Law of the People's Republic of China, some of which include the Tort Liability Law. Netizens must not cause harm to others or the country, otherwise they will bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Therefore, some netizens should not think that they can talk nonsense online, which is an ignorant behavior. You should understand that the internet is not a place of extra-legality.
