With all the twists and turns, the truth has been overlooked.
How should we evaluate the truth system?
Even though more and more influential users with valuable content have left Zhihu in recent years...
But Tieba is too blatant, revealing its most authentic side.
Weibo is the platform with the most chaos; Hupu is actually a variant of Tieba; Douban and Xiaohongshu are mainly used by women for emotional venting.
Zhihu remains the mainstream social media platform in China where you can find the most objective analysis.
Just like how live streaming platforms can't escape the association of pushing boundaries no matter how much they promote positive energy, this is determined by the initial positioning of the product.
The question about the truth system was pushed to the top of the Zhihu hot question list.
Many bloggers shared their opinions there:
"For some self-media outlets that rely on traffic for their livelihood, this undoubtedly greatly increases the cost for those with ulterior motives to manipulate public opinion."
Previously, it would take many rounds of refutation, and even after many rounds of refutation, rumors from the public would still replace official reports.
The loss of human and material resources is a minor issue; the loss of public trust is a major one.
With the truth system in place, both rumors and truths can be resolved at the front line without the need for multiple layers of investigation.
A simple matter has been turned into a Rashomon-like situation; every social event requires everyone's utmost effort.
Not only the relevant individuals, investigation teams, and organizations, but even I, as a mere bystander, get exhausted every time.
If the truth system is as the official propaganda claims, then it will certainly be able to effectively prevent this phenomenon from occurring.
However, one thing we should be wary of is whether the truth system has a backend that can be modified.
Every system can be modified. Even if the truth system cannot be modified, there will definitely be backdoors that can be used to modify it in the final application.
Even if nine out of ten facts published are true and one is false, the discovery of that one falsehood would lead to the complete collapse of the entire public trust system.
At that point, no amount of explanation could make up for it. Can the users of the truth system truly respect the truth in everything and refrain from using public power to modify the system?
Another crucial point is that sometimes even the truth, part of it, can be the complete opposite of the whole truth.
Readers who enjoy mystery novels should understand what I mean.
Let me explain simply. For example, if a husband and wife are fighting, the husband did hit the wife, but the wife started it first, and she hit him multiple times, so the husband could no longer tolerate it and hit her back.
Such incidents are common, but if only one side of the story is reported, such as the fact that the man did indeed physically assault the other person, it would be problematic.
If such a one-sided fact is judged as true through a truth system, will it also be determined to be true?
If the situation I described occurs, how can it be avoided in usage?
My raising these questions is not to oppose the promotion and use of the truth system; I strongly agree with using technological means to curb the current chaos in public opinion.
I just want to remind the relevant parties to ensure that all potential problems are addressed during the promotion process, and to resolve any issues in one go, if possible.
With the further improvement of China's strength in recent years, it has narrowed the gap with the first tier in science and technology.
In some areas, it has even surpassed others.
As a result, the public opinion field in China is becoming increasingly chaotic, with incidents of "exploding" and then inexplicably being suppressed occurring one after another.
Twists and turns keep happening, the truth is still out, and it's not uncommon for people to be spinning like tops.
Anyone with even a slight understanding of the online public opinion environment in China knows that if the truth system were truly as the propaganda claims, it would certainly be able to curb the chaos to some extent.
"I have high expectations for the truth system and hope it will achieve the desired results."
As the world's leading expert in brain-computer interfaces and also a magician, I believe Zheng Li can consider the problem thoroughly.
I only hope that the subsequent truth-clarification system will not only constrain independent media and individuals, but also constrain public power.
The answer above has the most likes.
"Tianyanmei just checked and found that a company called Xinhua Truth Technology Co., Ltd. was established just last week."
The company's shareholders are Kechuang Biotechnology and **She, with Ms. Li Miaomiao, the general manager of Kechuang Biotechnology, serving as an independent director of Xinhua Truth Technology Co., Ltd.
According to the latest explanatory document from **the agency, there is no doubt that this new company will be responsible for the daily operation and promotion of the truth system.
How the truth system should be implemented in practical applications is something that Tianyanmei, like everyone else, is very curious about.
However, Tianyanmei remains primarily hopeful for this latest innovation from Kechuang Biotechnology.
"Tianyanmei" is Tianyancha's self-proclaimed name on Zhihu. She is frequently active under various trending questions, analyzing trending events through enterprise maps.
The comments in that answer were all:
"The Goddess of the Vast Expanse"
"My Insignificance"
There was very little discussion about the event itself:
"It is estimated that the truth system will be implemented through cooperation with major social media platforms."
"I still believe that the products developed by Kechuang Biotechnology can achieve the expected results, but it's hard to say how well they will be executed."
After the news broke, someone in America commented on the matter on their social media:
"I've had enough of fake news! Our media needs a truth system too!"
Before acquiring Twitter, Musk was already a prominent figure on the platform, with even more followers than Laiquzhi.
Since acquiring Twitter, he has been tweeting more frequently than before.
He said on Twitter:
"Next time I go to China, I will definitely ask Zheng Li to open a Twitter account for me, you can believe me!"
