Chapter 450: Crisis of Confidence

Goldman Sachs is awesome, and everyone has to admit that. Therefore, there is a sense of doing whatever it wants all over the world, whether it is the subprime mortgage crisis or the European debt crisis, Goldman Sachs has played a less glorious role in it. A few years later, he will be heavily fined by the U.S. government for his actions in the subprime mortgage crisis. Zhou Shi didn't want to grudge against it, but he couldn't help but fight back when he was bullied.

The European debt crisis and domestic inflation are the beginning, and they will not be happy for long. And no matter what, its own strength is the biggest dependence. The world is not suppressed by Goldman Sachs, and Tianhe Securities has no chance to develop.

Not to mention the anti-Goldman Sachs wave in China and Europe, Zhou Shi finally freed his hands and returned to Silicon Valley to be interviewed by the media.

"What do you think about the data breach at Friends.com?"

"Friends have an unshirkable responsibility, but those who do evil should also be severely punished. "Zhou Shi

"A lot of people are proposing to shut down the Friends Network, suggesting that everyone abandon the Friends Network and use the more secure Facebook, what do you think?"

"There are not too many technical differences between Facebook and Friends, and even in terms of security, Friends may be safer in cooperation with Time Company, how to choose the website to use, it depends on the user's own choice, I can't interfere!" Zhou Shi

"You said that the friend network is more secure, so why is there no data leak at Facebook, only the friend network has problems?"

"There is a robber who faces two passers-by, he also has to make a choice, either choose the strong to challenge, or choose the weak to challenge, we don't know the specific person, it is difficult for us to know what he thought at the time. "Zhou Shi

"You mean hacking friends is random and unpredictable?"

"Do you have a better explanation?" Zhou Shi

"Well, you're right. However, I prefer that this hacker chose a site that is easier to target. "Journalists

"Maybe, but I'm curious why the robbers robbed the bank, and almost everyone blamed the bank for its incompetence instead of condemning the robbers!"

"Robber robbery, uh, the Friends Net thing, well, it's really an incomprehensible thing. Maybe everyone thinks that the responsibility of Internet companies is a little greater! But isn't there a counterattack for the friend network?"

"We called the police, and the first thing we did was to improve the security measures of the friend network, try to avoid similar things from happening, and the second thing was to find the murderer who hurt us. Users are always one of the groups we pay most attention to. "Zhou Shi

"How do you improve user confidence in you?"

"Do your best and then let the user choose. "Zhou Shi

"Do you think the current executives of Friends are responsible, is it because the CEO and COO of Friends are both Chinese, and due to long-term cultural differences, they do not pay attention to privacy?"

"It is precisely because of cultural differences that we need to be more prepared, and the privacy protection brought about by cultural differences is what we must pay attention to. They are certainly responsible, but they cannot be blamed entirely. "Zhou Shi

"So, you take the privacy of your users very seriously?"

"That's right......" Zhou Shi

The complaints and accusations received by Friends.com have been rising one after another, and many traditional media reports, including newspapers, magazines and TV news networks, are making waves at this time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, it's all our fault, let the influence of this matter become bigger and bigger, and the more negative impact we will be affected. "Lucci

"Tell me in detail, what is the difference between Europe and the United States?"

"The U.S. has a greater impact, and user growth has almost stagnated, and user growth in Europe has slowed down. The gap between us and Facebook is also widening little by little, and Mayspace is also getting a respite. In another month or two, once our negative impact has formed, it may be difficult to undo it. "Shen Haoyu

"Our measures to guide public opinion have not been effective?" Zhou Shi

"There is an effect, but the coverage of traditional media is too wide, the influence is too great, and the criticism is almost overwhelming, and few speak for us, fortunately, Disney and News Corp have not fallen into the well and maintained neutrality" Shen Haoyu

"In this case, the problem seems to be very serious! Whether or not we communicate with Facebook, this should not be our family's problem!" Zhou Shi

"What? Communicate with Facebook, it doesn't have anything to do with them, does it?"

This is a return attack on the Internet by the traditional media, which is taking the method of cracking down on social networks one by one, which in turn will cause Internet companies to lose credibility and further strengthen the influence of traditional networks. "Zhou Shi

"And they have this reason?" said Lu Qi, looking confused

"You said that if the current trend continues, everyone will question the security of the Internet, Facebook may not be immune, Microsoft and Google must be safe, and who will benefit the most at this time?" Zhou Shi said seriously, sometimes in order to make others believe, you have to believe it first. Now there are many reasons that are untenable for the network security accidents of the friend network, but if the friend network really refutes them one by one, it will swell the tricks of others. Many passers-by don't really look at the reason, or most people have a herd mentality, since so many people say that the friend network is not safe, then he is definitely not safe. The best thing to do now is to let others share their pain. Expand the doubts against the friends network to the whole network, from questioning the security of the friends network to questioning the security of the whole network. As a result, many large companies, such as Microsoft and Google, have had to intervene, either actively or passively to help Zhou Shi spread the pressure. The most important thing is that someone must also be hurt, and if only the friend network is injured, it is basically not very convincing.

Zhou Shi intentionally or unintentionally revealed a little bit of thought, some things can't be said directly, who knows if there will be hidden dangers, if they don't have the ability, or can't understand, or are unwilling to execute, then they can only be replaced.

Although Lu Qi was born in technology, after moving to a management position, his abilities were not buried, but developed more advanced abilities. After Zhou Shi finished speaking, he took the initiative to contact Zuckerberg and communicated about this matter, but Xiaozha, as a hidden version of the hero, will not be deceived by a few simple words, he will not take the initiative to help the friend network get out of trouble, during this time, the growth rate of Facebook's domestic and foreign users has been greatly improved, he hopes that this time can last longer, so that Facebook's advantages are more obvious. If the traditional media really has a tendency to undermine the credibility of Internet companies, then someone will naturally come forward to fight back, and it is not too late for him to join the confrontation. As for the network of friends who have already sacrificed by then, ho cares!
