?After showing IP on multiple social platforms! WeChat has also made a decision to pretend that the system is about to reveal its true form.

After major social platforms launched this feature one after another, Tencent also made an important decision, and WeChat will also usher in changes! According to the announcement issued by WeChat Coral Security, the WeChat public platform will display the IP location when the content is published, and will be opened to users one after another according to the actual situation after testing.

Will user privacy be exposed?

Regarding the function of displaying IP address, some netizens believe that this may be a violation of privacy, and developers should open the option to turn off this function. In fact, when all major platforms launch this function together, they will not display the user's specific information. The municipality will display the name of the city where the user is located, and other platforms will only display the province where the user is located. The important thing is that this is in response to the relevant requirements of the Cyberspace Administration of China. There is a certain reason why the Cyberspace Administration of China would introduce such regulations.

However, WeChat’s IP address shows that it is the IP address when the public account platform publishes content. Judging from the published content, it will not appear in the circle of friends or chat content for the time being.

What changes will it bring?

First of all, the network environment will enter a new level, such as social hot issues, epidemics, international conflicts and other issues. Many overseas users or organizations with ulterior motives are distorting the pace in China and displaying IP ownership. After that, netizens can have a clear understanding of the team behind the content they publish, so as to judge the authenticity and purpose of the content they publish. It is a powerful deterrent to those keyboard warriors on the Internet who love to spread rumors and abuse unscrupulously.

Secondly, reduce the probability of telecommunications fraud. Among the many cases of telecommunications fraud, many are deceived by some overseas fraud forces. They lie overseas but claim to be in China. In addition to showing the IP address, the occurrence of such cases will be greatly reduced.

Also, let those "pretenders" show their true colors. For example, we can see some "local information bloggers" in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, etc. on many media platforms, as well as accounts such as "So-and-so is in Germany". They put this "regional label", perhaps In order to attract the attention of certain users and highlight a person's sense of superiority or difference in geographical location. But in fact, behind these accounts may be the accounts of certain media companies in the province or the names of some individual self-media to build momentum. Although the content published is food, travel, and vlog content, it does not have much impact on us, but it can make These "local guides" show their true colors, and it is clear whether the content published is their own personal experience or hearsay.

Although some people think that adding IP location will lead to discrimination based on IP location. To solve this problem, in addition to In addition to the subsequent optimization of the platform, we ourselves must also understand that the "place of belonging" is the hometown where we were born and raised. When facing this problem, we should also think from an individual rather than a group perspective, and treat the other party as an independent individual. An individual has no right to represent a group.

Generally speaking, after adding the IP attribution function, personal attributes on the media platform will become very transparent, and those hypocritical jokes such as "I am in Germany or the United States and just got off the plane" will no longer Running everywhere, the Internet environment will also become better.
