Chapter 24: Super Information Blockade!
(Chapter 23 is still being blocked due to sensitive keywords.) The main content is an analysis of the current situation and the phenomenon that major post bar forums and social software have been blocked)
Not only is the Weibo post bar gone, but even QQ WeChat is gone!
This is probably the strongest information blockade in history.
For thousands of years, human civilization has never had such a developed Internet information as in today's era, and it is possible to know what is happening in any corner of the world through a terminal (mobile phone). Even in the decade since the boom of mobile phones and the Internet 4G, people seem to have liked the use of their mobile phones for seven or eight hours a day.
Most people don't even remember that just a decade ago, they needed to be aware of current events by watching TV and reading newspapers.
No one would have thought that in this era of "self-media" where anyone can become the media, in this era where a piece of news in the circle of friends and a celebrity scandal can be known by the people of the whole country within minutes, in this era where even privacy can be said to be non-existent, and in this era when even the Internet police can't ban pornographic websites, there is such a thing as information blocking.
Most of them are thinking about how to extract effective information from mixed and chaotic information, which is the characteristic of the big data era. But I didn't expect that overnight, it would be difficult to obtain any piece of information.
Xu Liang's fingers swayed on the phone screen.
Suddenly, he didn't know where to order.
He tentatively clicked on the "A certain Qiyi" video website, but unsurprisingly, he couldn't enter.
With a shake of his fingers, he clicked on the "cool" video website again, and as expected, he couldn't enter.
A certain forum, you can't enter.
In fact, most of the forum domain names end in cn, Xu Liang tried it, but he couldn't get in!
Interpersonal communication software, workplace communication software, and even monthly throwing software, you can't enter!
Stock trading software, Douban community, Zhihu Guoke, and even takeaway APP...... Basically, as long as there is a place where users can comment, it's all closed!
It's all closed!
Even e-commerce companies like Moubao and Moudong, who sell things, even their APP is closed!!
These upheavals should have happened during the time they had just been in the afternoon.
Xu Liang suddenly felt ...... Perhaps the ban on these mobile Internet services is the real disaster for the people of the whole country, no, the people of the world...... If you really want these networms to start from option A: they were killed by a magnitude 13 tsunami a month later; B: I can't choose one of the Internet in a month, and it is estimated that most people would rather be killed by a tsunami than go online...... As the so-called surfing the Internet, swimming......
You should post moments when you eat, take selfies at parties, look at your mobile phone when walking, look at your mobile phone before going to bed, and look at your mobile phone when you contact customers at work......
Can't imagine what they'll do tomorrow when they suddenly don't have their phones?
Professor Stuart Ellis, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, proposed the concept of "independence of consciousness" in 2006, which is mainly used to describe the degree to which the minds of ordinary people are independent of the Internet.
For example, Xu Liang is a person who can survive without relying on the Internet at all, if there is a huge "business opportunity" to work, Xu Liang will never go to Weibo, this "consciousness independence" is close to 100%. Duan Han is similar, it is not fatal to engage in scientific research and invention, but Duan Han has many skills that need the Internet to achieve, and she often needs to check information on the Internet, and her consciousness independence is about 80%.
People with a high level of conscious independence can live well without the internet.
But people with a very low degree of consciousness and independence, such as some Internet celebrities, such as certain types of anchors...... Once they lose the Internet, it's as if they lose a part of their consciousness, a part of themselves.
It's like they've lost their souls.
If the fullness of consciousness can be described as 10 equal parts, for these people with a very low degree of "independence of consciousness", the loss of the Internet is equivalent to the loss of at least 5 points of consciousness and the loss of half of their personality.
With the development of the times, the continuation of the information revolution, the advent of the era of big data, and the deepening of the artificial intelligence revolution, this phenomenon is gradually deepening. If five years ago there were still people advocating that kind of "offline life", away from the work center, to the mountains and islands to do intimate communication with their hearts, now, even when they climb Mount Everest, the first thing they do is not to congratulate, but to send it to Moments!
(Yes, there is a 4G signal on Mount Everest!) )
The information blockade is probably a more terrible thing than those visible losses. Because it is equivalent to indirectly taking away the consciousness of most of the population.
When Xu Liang was carefully checking his mobile phone, he also found some unexpected mobile phone applications that had not been closed.
For example, the pesticide game that has been very popular recently (you can't comment or scold anymore, and the trolls have a lot less fun), such as games like 2048 that can be raised by yourself, such as some other games with a relatively simple degree of socialization, you can still play after closing the chat, comment and communication link. QQ Go can be played, Montezuma's Treasure can be played, and Thunderbolt can be played...... All in all, as long as you can't convey a valid message, you can play!
It can be expected that before the tsunami hits, the most people in the world will do probably do is play games.
There are some other accidents, for example, Xu Liang tried to search for the bilibili video website.
This website is not the same as other mainstream media videos,It's a gathering place for the two-dimensional subculture,It's also an important publishing platform for self-created videos,Such as dramas、Animation、Entertainment、Cosplay, etc.,And the biggest advantage of station B is that there are no ads to watch videos.,So even learning programming or something can find resources on it.。 Tens of thousands of original videos can be generated here every day, and the activity is extremely high.
The surprise is that station b is now open!
Xu Liang didn't believe in evil, and clicked on a "drama" option to enter:
In accordance with relevant laws and regulations......
Sure enough, here it is again.
Click on other options, such as animation, TV series, and ghost animals, and the result is the same.
This is strange, so why is station b not directly closed like other websites?
Xu Liang returned to the home page and finally found the answer.
It turned out that Station B was saved by a person whose ID was called "Red Star Little Brother". On the huge homepage, all the two-dimensional culture has disappeared, and only the video released by this red star brother remains.
Xu Liang opened the video and suddenly realized.
The video made by this red star brother is a real 7 o'clock news broadcast in the evening......
In the past few years since the opening of station B, it has never stopped.
Xu Liang sighed: In the face of such a politically correct user, even the national government is reluctant to ban him......
