The whole of September was a black September for Ameriken, with all flights suspended and a large number of congregations hitting the pause button.

Flamingo Games has announced that all proceeds from this year's Genting Game Championship Pack will be donated to the families of the victims of the event.

The destruction of the Twin Towers, a landmark building in New York, where the headquarters of a large number of investment companies is located, has resulted in the loss of property, employees, and data of these investment companies.

It is only after this that financial institutions have realized the importance of data security. At the opening of the second day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 14.26% in a single day, giving investors (leeks) a blow to the head of the new century.

Ameriken, which had been emerging from the turn-of-the-century financial crisis, was once again in a panic, and the event once again deepened the global economic depression.

"Newman, welcome to the White House, the past month has been a painful one for the Americans." Bush was serious on the surface, and didn't seem to have moved on from what had happened a month ago.

That's good for Bush, which happened in 2001 and puts his position in jeopardy if it had happened in the 2004 election year.

In 2001, he still had plenty of time to make amends.

Zhou Xin had not talked to the big names in the White House before, but half a month after the incident, the White House invited him to visit the White House and invited him to have a one-on-one dinner.

Zhou Xin has many friends in Washington, and because NewPay requires a lot of high-frequency communication with the regulatory authorities, Zhou Xin's financial regulatory authorities in Washington have more network of connections.

And in Amerit, there is no separation between government and business, and the revolving door of politics and business has led to many Washington bigwigs working in New York before going to Washington.

Therefore, Zhou Xin received an invitation from Washington on the front foot, and someone on the back foot revealed the news to him: "Weibo has been too bright in public opinion in the past month, and Bush invited you to talk about this news."

In the past, you've been donating money to both parties at the same time, and if your influence is only about money, then it is feasible to do so.

Neither the Donkey Party nor the Elephant Party wanted to offend their financiers.

But with Weibo, your influence expands to more areas, and then you will get more attention from both parties, and they will be more eager to pull you to their side.

Bush is an Elephant Party, and he will be inclined to woo you into the Elephant Party, but California hasn't changed color in the decade since it became Donkey Party territory in '92. Even last year, Gore still had a 10-point lead over Bush in the California vote.

Your base is still in California, so it's best not to get too close to Bush. ”

This is the information that Goldman Sachs revealed to Zhou Xin, and Zhou Xin also roughly inferred in his heart.

The feeling of opening the eyes of the sky is good, from 00 to 08 the president belonged to the elephant party, 09 to 16 belonged to the donkey party, 16 to 20 belonged to the elephant party, and the atypical elephant party was also an elephant.

Before Zhou Xin went, he was thinking that if he had to choose from the donkey elephant, then he would fall to the elephant party.

Why? Because from the perspective of future trends and current situations, almost all the big tech giants are on the side of the donkey party, FB, Apple, Google, and Amazon are all the same.

The only one who leans like the party is Musk, Musk has exposed a lot of self-exposure after buying Twitter, exposing Twitter's internal documents, the most notable of which is that the connection between Twitter and the federal government is ubiquitous and continuous.

The federal government may require Twitter to take action against specific accounts through a combination of technology and human action that may result in inappropriate comments or accounts that may send emails directly to Twitter suggesting that the account has violated Twitter's Terms of Service.

And during the general election, the content of such emails is closely related to the election.

After Musk exposed this kind of incident after taking over Twitter, because the media was also in the hands of a large number of donkey parties, and even Twitter itself Musk could not control it, almost no one saw the news exposed.

It is precisely because the Donkey Party is so strong at the level of public opinion and its control among the tech giants that Zhou Xin wants to stand on the side of the Elephant Party.

Because of the time, Bush was in power for the first eight years, and he was able to accumulate strength and develop fully in these eight years.

By the time the Donkey Party came to power, the importance of the big tech giants was fully demonstrated, and as the only tech giant on the side of the Elephant Party, the Elephant Party was able to keep it best, and if it couldn't keep it, it could further stimulate the contradictions between the two parties.

For long-term considerations, on the one hand, and on the other hand, because Zhou Xin really can't approve of the specific approach of the Donkey Party.

Later, he spent five years in Berkeley, where Berkeley was located in California, which was a die-hard area of the Donkey Party, and many of the Donkey Party's policies he could not understand, and he felt that the Donkey Party was somewhat demonic.

It can be said that on the eve of Zhou Xin's departure from California in 2018, Huaguo is the only consensus of donkey elephants.

"I am equally saddened and outraged by this, and pray for those who have been hurt by this incident."

From a humanitarian point of view, the Amerikens should not pay for this, but from the heart, it is indeed difficult for Zhou Xin to have sad emotions.

He couldn't do it, and the Chinese people of this era couldn't do it either.

The events of '99 were not far away, and the events of April '21 were just around the corner, so when the Petronas Twin Towers in Ameriken were destroyed, some Chinese students even held a celebratory parade on campus.

The simplicity of the Chinese people is not towards the people of America, but towards the people of America as a whole, and in view of what has happened before, the government of America and the people of America are seen as a whole, and the hostility towards the government of America is transferred to the people of America.

Zhou Xin is the same, saddened by the experience of the individual, and rejoiced that China as a whole has ushered in a rare strategic development opportunity.

Of course, in front of Bush, he still has to show an extremely sad look.

Around the Twin Towers collision incident, Bush and Zhou Xin talked a lot, from Zhou Xin's companies or his personal donations, to what work the White House carried out during this time, etc.

Not only did Flamingo Games donate the proceeds of the championship package to the families of the victims, but Zhou Xin also donated $5 million in his personal name to a charitable fund set up by New York City for the incident.

(This amount is based on Schwarzenegger's donation of $1 million, and Bill Gates donated $5 million to Jiangcheng in 2020)

"The Mphone is a great product, and we were all working in the bunker of the White House for the first few days after the Twin Towers attacked.

The White House chief of staff conveyed a lot of information and valuable confidence to the outside world through Weibo.

I also bought a Mphone on Weibo, and I also registered an account on Weibo and did real-name authentication.

In the process of using Weibo, I realized that the real-time nature of content interaction has been improved again through Weibo. Even live TV is far inferior to Weibo in terms of real-time. Even the news on the portal and the comment function under the news cannot be compared with Weibo.

When I was chatting with Edwin, I noticed that more and more journalists like to register Weibo accounts in their own names and post some messages on Weibo.

Edwin, who is also Chinese, is a Bloomberg correspondent for the White House and president of the White House Correspondents' Association, and I have a good relationship with him.

He has a high opinion of Weibo and a deep understanding of the new media you mentioned. ”

Zhou Xin didn't speak, and listened to Bush quietly, he knew that this was the main meal, and the previous content belonged to the pre-dinner side dishes.

Edwin's full name is Edwin Chen, a legend in the field of journalism, who has been a journalist since graduating from the University of South Carolina in journalism, worked for the Los Angeles Times for 26 years, and began to be a congressional correspondent in '94, witnessing the Elephant Party Revolution in '94 (the Elephant Party regained the Congress that had been controlled by the Donkey Party for 40 years).

His grandfather, Chen Bosheng, was an important figure who introduced Marxism to China around the time of the May Fourth Movement, and was also the first special correspondent in Europe in the history of the Chinese press.

The status of the White House correspondents is very high, and it can be said that it is the pinnacle of the entire political reporting journalist, but also the pinnacle of the journalistic profession, not to mention the president of the White House Correspondents' Association. Edwin Chen is the first and only Chinese to hold the seat.

Bush continued: "Weibo has always been very influential, a lot of Amerionians use Weibo, and I have a lot of friends around me who have used Weibo and think it's the best Internet product.

Compared to Weibo, Quora has become less appealing, and I found out that this is the case after experiencing it, but there is a small problem, which is that I see too much news about the White House on Weibo.

I know that a lot of White House staff use Mphones, and they are used to taking pictures at the White House and then tweeting about some things in the White House, some of which are inconsequential, and some of which are somewhat sensitive.

Even if I asked them not to post about the White House on Weibo, and not to let them bring Mphone to the White House, I couldn't stop them from working with their phones with the camera function, and I couldn't stop them from posting anonymously, after all, I couldn't locate which Weibo account was registered by which staff member.

Besides, even if I knew who sent it, I couldn't do anything.

So, Newman, I need your help, I think Weibo needs to have a little limit on the content. Not everything is suitable for posting on online forums, such as the White House.

If my last one had Mphone and Weibo when he was in the White House, it would have been exposed long ago. In the end, Bush made a joke, although Zhou Xin couldn't find a laugh, but he saw Bush laugh happily.

Zhou Xin said: "I generally understand your concerns, we have bound this situation in the terms of service, and we will also deal with inappropriate remarks.

For example, after the Twin Towers were hit this time, all inappropriate expressions on Weibo were dealt with by banning them after storing evidence.

For the content that you feel is inappropriate, you can draft a clause and submit it to Weibo, Weibo will review the content of the clause, and we will try to respect your intention as much as possible and add the clause content to the new service agreement.

Inappropriate content will be removed, and the publisher of the inappropriate content will be dealt with in a certain manner. ”

This is an operation on the surface, and Bush obviously doesn't want it to be on the surface.

In the aftermath of the Twin Towers, both Weibo and Mphone itself showed great power, and in just one month in September, Weibo sold 500,000 units in the United States, and it is expected that the annual sales will exceed 3 million, which is a staggering enough number.

And in September, Weibo launched a web version, and announced that it would support other mobile phones, if there are mobile phone manufacturers who want to cooperate, they can come to discuss cooperation.

In other words, the potential number of people that Weibo could affect is far more than 3 million.

Bush sees the potential of Weibo, and he wants to be vague rather than rule-wrought.

Because the operation involving the election obviously cannot be written into rules, let alone posted to Weibo in the name of the White House.

What power needs is a middle ground, what is needed is vague rules, vague rules have room for operation, and rules that are too clear are good for the controlled, so they are not so good for the controller.

Ameriken also understands this truth, and it is precisely because the rules in cyberspace are not clear enough that Bush can find a loophole, and he only needs to negotiate with Zhou Xin to obtain this power.

"Newman, do you understand that there are behaviors that are hard to have clear rules to regulate, and it may be okay with the rules, but it can actually be very harmful," Bush said.

It's hard to completely limit speech by rules.

For example, an account only needs to put a photo of a black person and a photo of a plantation together, even if there is no language, it means it all in place.

There will be so many of them that it's hard to have one rule that covers them all. ”

When Bush talked about blacks and plantations, Zhou Xin really didn't collapse, and he didn't laugh when Bush used his predecessor as an example.

Zhou Xin thought to himself, worthy of the elephant party.

Zhou Xin said: "Then we can adopt a framework rule, such as similar remarks, after the publicity, similar remarks will be banned."

It is also the case law used by the Americon legal profession to interpret the rules, both in terms of rules and cases.

That would avoid what you're talking about. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xin was not in the oil and salt, Bush knew that this was only the first time the two of them had dealt with each other, and there was still a lot of time to deal with in the future, and he was not in a hurry to achieve his goal.

Case law is case law, and case law also has room for maneuver.

"It's a good idea, we can try to do it first, and we can adjust it depending on how it works.

It's time to manage the other web forums as well.

We have long had a series of laws on the Internet, such as the Computer Security Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and so on, but there has been no relevant law to regulate online speech.

What can and cannot be said on a web forum.

Newman, this conversation with you has given me a lot of great ideas that we can do in the future with a series of meaningful work in this area. ”
