Chapter 22 The Death of an Internet Celebrity 16 Be Civilized in Using the Internet and Speak Rationally
Chapter 16
I thought Jiang Hua's case had come to an end, but new problems arose as soon as the serious crime team returned to the serious crime brigade.
At 8 o'clock in the evening on August 27, an account with the ID [Justice Comes] released a video.
The title of the video is [Revealing the Death of a Famous Sports Blogger You Don’t Know], and the so-called famous sports blogger in the video refers to Jiang Hua.
The five-minute video tells why Jiang Hua died at home and also reveals Jiang Hua's identity.
Jiang Hua has hundreds of thousands of fans on major platforms and is considered a well-known blogger to a certain extent.
With outstanding looks, superior family background, decent job, strong body, high education, high IQ and money, many people think that he is the domineering president in novels.
Such a near-perfect personality was completely shattered after this video was released.
The IP address of the video publisher is shown to be overseas.
The video focuses on Jiang Hua’s heartwarming interactions with netizens on his self-media account, as well as the various obscene words he posted on his secondary account.
The video producer also thoughtfully put the two remarks together, one above and one below, so that netizens who were watching the video could more intuitively see the contrast between Jiang Hua's image in front of people and behind them.
As beautiful as the reply above is, as vicious as the comments below are.
At the end of the video, a robotic monologue appears.
[Hello, fellow netizen friends. On behalf of the judge, I hereby warn all netizen friends that you should be cautious when speaking online. The Internet is not a lawless place and everything can be traced. I hope that all netizens will use the Internet in a civilized manner and speak rationally. The judge will always monitor all kinds of speech on the Internet. Please refuse to be keyboard warriors and refuse to cyberbully others. If anyone commits a crime, his fate will be like Jiang Hua. No matter where you hide in the world, we will make you pay the price you deserve. Please cherish your life - the judge warns all netizens! In addition, we hereby declare that this move is only to maintain justice outside the law, intended to organize cyber violence and promote social progress. We have no intention of provoking the police, let alone the law. We recognize and thank the police for maintaining social security and stability, and hereby express our highest respects to you. ]
The video spread very quickly. After only half an hour, it topped the trending search list on various platforms.
Thousands of comments are added to the comment section every second.
The popularity of the mechanical monologue that followed far exceeded that of Jiang Hua's two-faced behavior.
The comment section is roughly divided into three factions.
One group is the spectator group who never make random comments on the Internet. In recent years, there have been frequent Internet chaos and the Internet atmosphere is chaotic. A small thing may trigger collective cyber violence. This group of netizens are very supportive of the judge's words.
[I wholeheartedly agree that the law should not punish the majority, so those online trolls will attack others wantonly with the mentality that everyone says so. They only need to type a line of words and then move on to the next video, and then forget their own remarks completely, without knowing that a life may be lost because of it. ]
[The Internet has been in a very bad state in recent years, with cyberbullying becoming rampant. Cyberbullying occurs every day, and even every minute and every second, people receive malicious comments. The law cannot arrest all those who post malicious comments. I support the judges in taking action to severely punish these cyber trolls and make them pay the price they deserve. ]
There are also rational people who think that the judge's behavior is satisfying, but in the long run it will do more harm than good.
[This can indeed stop cyber violence to a certain extent, but it also puts shackles on netizens. There is no unified standard for cyber violence to correspond to specific incidents, and it is judged subjectively by people. When a person cannot define whether the comments he made fall into the category of cyber violence, he dare not express his opinions at will. When there is no freedom of speech, does the so-called justice still have any meaning? ]
[If there is no freedom to criticize, then praise is meaningless. The improvement of many things is gradually improved through everyone's encouragement. If we cannot criticize, but only allow praise, and cannot express our true feelings, then this society is a huge perfect rule performance. Without encouragement, there will be no progress. Looking at the issue of online speech from a long-term perspective, we should sum up our experience and find a balance point, rather than hanging a knife over everyone's head, and no one knows when the guillotine will fall. ]
There is another type that is completely opposed, and one type is those who love to give advice online, commonly known as Internet trolls. The other type is the waverers who are active in speaking, hanging out in various comment sections and only expressing their opinions, criticizing and praising at the same time, but not as extreme as the internet trolls.
[Why should we restrict speech? I can’t say what I don’t like, and I can’t criticize when someone does something wrong? When netizens charge forward for justice and help the victims get justice, do they also have to cyberbully others and be sanctioned? From now on, who will dare to uphold justice and fairness online and help the bullied get justice? ]
[There is no unified standard for so-called violent online speech. Isn't this a new type of online literary inquisition? In the name of justice, you deprive us of our right to speak, and only allow us to say good things but not bad words. Even if a saint came, he would have to shut up and go to jail with us. ]
…
As the incident quickly escalated, the official account of Pengcheng police was constantly @ed, and a large number of netizens flocked to the comment section of the Pengcheng police account to seek the truth, whether Jiang Hua was dead, whether he had really done the things revealed by that account, and whether he was really an internet troll who was extremely misogynistic online.
All the members of the Serious Crime Unit 9 received notices from their superiors, asking them to return to their units and stand by.
Outside the police station of Pengcheng Chengnan Branch, a large number of reporters, media and ordinary people gathered, waiting for an explanation from the Pengcheng police.
The platform also banned the account that posted the relevant video.
But you can block the account, but you can’t stop the people from talking nonsense.
The Pengcheng police issued an urgent statement, saying that they had noticed the online public opinion incident and were currently investigating it with all their strength. The results of the investigation would be made public as soon as possible, and everyone was asked to wait patiently.
The Serious Crime Unit 9 and its leaders held a remote online meeting with the police from the Pengcheng Chengnan Branch and senior Pengcheng officials in the conference room.
Senior officials asked the Pengcheng police to calm public opinion as quickly as possible, ease the emotions of netizens and avoid causing unnecessary panic.
But we must also seek truth from facts and not conceal the truth about Jiang Hua's case to prevent insiders from leaking the information and causing the police to lose credibility.
The Serious Crime Unit 9 should also put more effort into tracking down the judges, strive to bring them to justice as soon as possible, and prevent them from taking revenge in private.
The next day at noon, the Pengcheng police released the results of their investigation into the case.
The account affirmed the authenticity of the content exposed in response to the Jiang Hua case, and also called on the majority of netizens to seek help from the police if they encounter injustice. The police will not sit idly by and hope that everyone will not act on impulse. It is not advisable to use lynching to solve problems. Illegally and privately imposing punishment or abuse on others is a serious violation of the law and may constitute a crime. The correct approach is to seek help from the police and let the police resolve the issue.
A corresponding response was also made to the issue of cyber violence, stating that various parties are actively improving the system and resolutely resisting cyber violence. It has also opened a rapid complaint and evidence collection center to combat cyberbullying, rumor-mongering and other activities that undermine the harmonious environment of the Internet. If someone is found to be organizing or participating in cyberbullying, you can complain about their comments and the platform will verify them. Once the complaint is established, the account will be punished and recorded in the individual's online credit rating. When the cumulative number of negative speech complaints exceeds a certain standard, it will affect the credit report, and the Internet police will supervise their online behavior, with fines ranging from minor to major sentences.
Official accounts of state media at all levels successively released relevant notices and reported them to the whole society in the evening news.
Everyone has expressed their support for the latest solution.
[ Very good! We should supervise each other in response to the chaos on the Internet and I believe that things will get better and better in the future. ]
[Normal people are supporting it, only dogs are barking. Support our mother's decision, it's great. Let's see if they will continue to be so arrogant and use freedom of speech as a shield to cyberbully people. Normal people who support freedom of speech will not be afraid, only those keyboard warriors hiding behind the screen are trembling! ]
[Tremble, keyboard warriors! It's really satisfying. ]

The network crisis brought by the judges has been perfectly resolved with the corresponding new policies, which can also promote a harmonious network environment.
Jing Jue agrees with the new policy: "I believe that after this incident, online violence will be greatly reduced. From a certain perspective, the public opinion aroused by the actions of the judges this time can be regarded as promoting the development of the online society."
Human society has been progressing, constantly learning lessons, improving, and ultimately perfecting.
Lu Changfeng also hopes that it can be fully implemented as soon as possible: "I have confidence in our country, our government, and every public official who takes social risks for this country. Our society will definitely get better and better."
Jing Jue nodded in approval: "I am very fortunate to be born in this country. There are so many people who share the same ideals as me and fight for the same ideals together."
On the busy street, they stood at the end of the zebra crossing waiting for the red light to turn green.
Jing Jue looked at Lu Changfeng and said to him sincerely, "I am also honored to be able to fight alongside you."
Before meeting Jing Jue, Lu Changfeng had never thought that he would have the opportunity to become Jing Jue's colleague and fight side by side with Jing Jue. He replied to Jing Jue: "I feel lucky for this, too."
Jing Jue said: "Let us protect the lights of thousands of homes together."
The light turned green, and Lu Changfeng crossed the road and said to Jing Jue beside him, "Okay."
Jing Jue quickly caught up with Lu Changfeng, and the two of them took the same firm steps.
Lu Changfeng suddenly said: "Jing Jue, move in and live with me."
He was afraid that Jing Jue might misunderstand, so he added: "I have an empty room here. You live too far away, and it's too tiring to run back and forth."
Jing Jue refused: "Let's keep our distance. If we live together, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will do something that will make you hate me."
