Chapter 1223: Public opinion control in a small world
"If the network is controlled at an early stage and some mandatory measures are taken, there is still a chance to guide the wind direction on the network, no matter how bad it is, you can also block and modify the news of the place where the terrorist attack occurred by screening, at least to limit the spread of panic. But now, doomsday theory has become mainstream on the Internet, and it is more troublesome to reverse it. ”
When Ye Linglong talked about this aspect, she could no longer see Lori's ignorant and innocent look on her face, but instead she was a serious, confident, and domineering queen fan. It's just that her body is still a little Lori, and with the so-called queen fan, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, she can only be called a "little adult".
Because the terrorist attacks are still happening, Lin Miaomiao, Celtic, Angus and others have continued to fight the fire at this time. At the headquarters of the Transcendental Management Agency, the person in charge of receiving and assisting Ye Linglong is a head in charge of the network management department.
"What Miss Ye said is that our network management department has only just been established, and our experience in this area is still very insufficient. Sophia, the head of the network, said with a sad face.
Sophia's "sorrow" is not only that the comments on the Internet are uncontrollable, but also that she feels incomprehensible that the director invited such a little Lori. As she said, the network management department is a newly created department, and it has been doing similar logistics since it was established. For example, the network maintenance of the Transcendent Management Agency, the data entry and backup of the database, etc., have not been involved in the guidance and control of online public opinion at all.
After all, before Ye Zan's retreat, this small world had always been relatively peaceful, and the cultists of the evil gods did not dare to show any traces at all. And with Ye Zan's retreat, the demons outside the sky saw the opportunity to be reborn, or it could be said that they had to make a desperate bet, so those evil god believers appeared.
"Forget it, I'm going to get to work!" Ye Linglong waved her little hand and took out a laptop from the Qiankun ring.
This laptop, in fact, is equivalent to a small intelligent brain host, with far more powerful computing power than thousands of miles of telecommunication, and it is also assisted by artificial intelligence. In terms of performance in all aspects, this computer, which is only the size of a sixteen-page magazine, is countless times stronger than the host computer of the network management department.
"Miss Ye, is there anything we need to do?" Glancing at the small computer with a surprised face, Sophia asked Ye Linglong a little more carefully. Although she didn't know Ye Linglong's true identity, just from this small computer, she knew that this little Lori must have an extraordinary background.
But then again, Ye Linglong was invited by Director Angus, and she was also the companion of those law-level powerhouses, so this kind of origin was scary enough. It is precisely because of this that no matter whether Sophia has confidence in her heart or not, and whether there is a rebellious genius in this network management department, no one dares to stand up and question this little Lori.
"You guys, if you have something, go and get busy, it's okay to watch from the sidelines, I'll tell you when you need your help. Ye Linglong began to operate the computer in front of her, and at the same time responded to Sophia's inquiry very casually.
Since she doesn't mind watching from the sidelines, and she really doesn't have anything to do, she just stays and waits! Sophia is very clear about her position, and she knows that she can't help much, but it's still okay to serve tea and pour water next to her.
"Now that the panic on the Internet has formed, it is not easy to reverse it. Before you, you first covered up and then announced, and you have almost lost your credibility. To put it bluntly, even what you say now, it is impossible to win the trust of those people on the Internet. Ye Linglong used the analysis ability of the brain to quickly go through the information on the network and have a basic judgment on the network situation.
This kind of thing is not the preserve of a certain ruler, nor is it a specialty of a certain world, but a skill that anyone or organization who stands in that position will automatically understand. Sometimes, this cannot be said to be wrong, after all, the "stupid majority" is easily incited, and it is better not to let them know in the first place than to let them know the truth and amplify their influence.
However, there are some things that can be "covered", and some things that cannot be covered at all. When you can't cover up something at all, but you still want to cover it, it can only leave an untrustworthy impression. From now on, even if you tell the truth in many things, it will become a lie in the eyes of the "stupid majority", just like the story of "the wolf came".
Just like now, terrorist attacks are breaking out all over the world, and such a thing cannot be covered at all, unless it is directly disconnected from the Internet as soon as it comes up. However, the disconnection of the Internet is just a cover-up, but the management office does not see the hot discussion on the Internet, but in fact, it is more likely to encourage people's panic breeding.
"This, it's true that we misconsidered, I thought it was just a few terrorist attacks...... Sophia was pointed out by a little Lori who didn't look even ten years old, and she couldn't help but blush with shame for a while.
"Look at these explanations you have made! Natural gas explosions, earthquakes, chemical plant leaks, these reasons don't look like reassuring reasons!" Ye Linglong didn't give any face, and pointed to some information on the computer screen.
The Transcendental Administration, on its part, used this method to cover up the earliest terrorist attacks. If there are only a few occasional terrorist attacks, these reasons are not so clumsy, at best they are just as reassuring. However, with the continuous occurrence of terrorist attacks, one city can say that there is a gas explosion, and two cities can say that a chemical plant is leaking, can more than a dozen cities still use these reasons?
If we say that there have been gas explosions in all 10 cities, even if the "majority" is "stupid", I am afraid that it will not be considered an accident. After all, the "stupid majority" is not the "stupid majority", they are not intellectual, they are just easily instigated.
"Then, when you see that you can't hold it anymore, you make another announcement that it is a terrorist attack. Unfortunately, people don't believe you anymore this time, and prefer to believe that the end of the world is coming. Looking at the information behind, Ye Linglong continued.
"Yes!" Sophia sighed helplessly, put the poured juice next to Little Lori, and said angrily: "This is obviously the truth, and it is more credible than the apocalypse." However, they would rather believe in more absurd apocalyptics than more factual truths. ”
There was an incident in Guhuaguo, because of the leakage of a nuclear power plant in a neighboring country, he was worried that nuclear pollution would affect him, so he was lured by rumors and had a salt rush incident. At that time, the salt rush incident involved almost the entire ancient Chinese country, and the civilians from the coast to the inland began to buy salt in large quantities, resulting in problems in the supply of salt to a certain extent.
Earlier, both Guhua and Western countries had "run on money" when the financial system was not perfect enough. To put it bluntly, there were rumors that a certain bank was going bankrupt when it ran out of money, so depositors went to the bank to withdraw their deposits, and finally the bank actually went bankrupt.
There has been a study of conspiracy theories in the tech world, arguing that humans are always more willing to believe something more sensational. For example, about UFOs and aliens, about the Rothschilds manipulating the world, about conspiracy theories about mysterious organizations such as the Skull and Bones Society, the Sky Eye Society, and Freemasonry, etc.
It can be said that the bigger the event, the more serious the information asymmetry, the more people want to know about it as soon as possible, so as to calm their uneasy hearts.
"Obviously, in this matter, although there are problems that you have mishandled, there are also some people with good intentions who secretly guide and instigate. Ye Linglong said as she clicked a few times on the computer, and a large amount of information was suddenly listed on the screen.
"Someone is instigating, is it a cult god!" Sophia suddenly came to her senses when she heard this, and she immediately wanted to go to those people to settle accounts.
"Not necessarily all of them are cultists of evil gods, and there may be some idlers who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. But here, there's nothing wrong with just thinking of being a cult god. Ye Linglong stared at the screen and casually responded to Sophia's question.
"Can you find out who they are, and can you find out who they really are, and where they are?" Sophia asked eagerly, feeling that her time had come to come in handy.
"Well, pulling them out can indeed alleviate the panic to a certain extent. After all, these ordinary people who are instigated often do not think that they are instigated, and think that all their remarks are based on their own thinking. Once they know that they have actually been instigated and used as fools by those who have intentions, they will not hesitate to give up the 'facts' they originally believed in and deal with those instigators instead. The corners of Ye Linglong's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile.
The "stupid majority" tends to never consider itself stupid, otherwise it wouldn't be one of the "majority". They often believe that what they do and what they say is not instigated by anyone, but is the product of their own rational thinking. Although they are one of the "majority", they all have the illusion that "everyone is drunk, but I am sober", as if they are the only one who understands in the world.
But in fact, in the early days of the Internet era in the world of science and technology, why was the water army so popular and even an industry? Isn't it because people on the Internet are easily incited? Under the instigation of well-intentioned people, they can turn some words and jokes into phenomenal products, and they can use the Internet to force their own violence to kill people, and they can turn white into black and black into white.
It's just that no matter how much effort they exert under the instigation, they will redouble their revenge on the instigator after they "wake up".
"Well, this is the list, with their real names and addresses, you can take it and look at it. As Ye Linglong spoke, she directly transmitted the list information on the computer to Sophia's thousands of miles of communication.
"Okay, I'll send it to the police departments everywhere and ask them to arrest people according to the list!" Sophia took out a thousand miles and glanced at it, and suddenly said with a light in her eyes.
Sophia turned and left the room to distribute the information on the list to the local police departments, waiting to "bring to justice" those who instigated and guided public opinion online.
And Ye Linglong, after giving the list, did not sit idle, but continued to think about countermeasures to guide online public opinion.
"To sum up this information, all the conspiracy statements under each name, as well as the relevant link information, are made into a form that can be quickly browsed. Then, not only the official website of the Transcendent Management Agency, but also the major forums have also sent them to see how it works. Ye Linglong muttered as she gave instructions to the artificial intelligence in the computer.
If you are a person, it often takes a lot of time and energy to do such tedious things. However, for artificial intelligence, completing the task released by Ye Linglong is only a matter of a moment.
Soon, there were a lot of posts on the Internet, and the content was to name the instigators and their various details. Although, after seeing those posts, there are still those who insist that this is nothing more than a trick played by the "government" and retaliation against those who insist on the truth. However, it is true that some people, from the information listed in the post, have another conspiracy theory that Ye Linglong wants them to generate.
Immediately afterwards, regarding terrorist attacks around the world, Ye Linglong also gave a direct and clear announcement. In the announcement, she did not hide anything, showing both the cult believers and the terrorist attack, as well as the various losses and casualties caused by the terrorist attack.
In addition, when announcing the information of the terrorist attack, Ye Linglong also attached a lot of videos of the scene. However, she had the AI edit the video to highlight the heroic performance of the "government" side of the terrorist attack.
On the Internet, if you want to make one thing lose its popularity, or change the trend of public opinion, you often need to replace it with another thing. For example, if there is something negative about those celebrities on the Internet, the best thing to do is to quickly put a peer on the hot search and let their popularity go down.
After all, netizens' memories are like goldfish, and although goldfish don't really have seven-second memories, netizens are indeed very forgetful. Often, netizens' attention to an event will soon be forgotten as new information emerges after a short period of time. 2k reading web
