Donate clothes to poor children. Old rumors dominate the screen again？

　　Recently, a message that a teacher in Maqu County, Gansu Province, "Gesangjia" donated clothes for poor children was forwarded many times on the Internet. Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that the information had been rumored as early as two years ago. The staff of the Propaganda Department of Maqu County Committee introduced that two years ago, many caring people sent clothes to the local area, and multi-departmental joint investigations have released rumors.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found out that there have been many old rumors coming back from the dead on the Internet. According to this expert, rumors should be thoroughly dispelled. Not only should rumors be released, but rumors should also be deleted through technical means to prevent them from coming back from the dead.

　　It is a rumor that teachers in Gansu collect clothes for poor children.

　　In the past few days, a message that Gansu teacher "Gesangjia" donated clothes for poor children was widely forwarded in the circle of friends. The fundraising message reads, "I am a teacher in Gansu, named Gesangjia. We are poor here, and the children at school really need clothes, because they are too poor to buy clothes and shoes, especially in autumn and winter, and the children are still so thin and sad. I can only send this post with my meager strength, hoping to get the help of kind people, old and new. Gannan, Gansu, is also one of the regions with the highest altitude in the world. If there are old clothes and shoes of children aged six to twelve around you, just wash them. Children of this age are too short of clothes. "

　　The address left by the fundraising information is a primary school in Cairima Township, Maqu County, Gansu Province. This message also specifically States that "the post office has a caring donation service and sending parcels is free". The reporter of Beiqing Daily dialed the phone number of teacher Gesangjia on the fundraising information, and the phone belongs to Liuzhou, Guangxi, not Gansu. After dialing, the number has been busy, and the number has been marked as a fraud number by many people.

　　On the 16th, a joint rumor platform in Gansu issued a document saying that the Maqu County Public Security Bureau verified that the news was false.

　　This rumor has appeared in 2017.

　　In fact, this rumor appeared as early as 2017 and was refuted by the Maqu County Public Security Bureau.

　　On the 19th, a staff member surnamed Zhang of the Propaganda Department of Maqu County Committee told Beiqing Daily that when the news spread on the Internet two years ago, many caring people believed it and sent a lot of clothes to Maqu County through the post office. Because the information was inaccurate, the post office staff didn’t know how to deliver it, so they reported it to the local government.

　　After receiving the news, Maqu County Public Security Bureau, Education Science and Technology Bureau and other departments investigated the news. According to Zhang’s staff, there is a primary school in Cairima Township, Maqu County, but it is not the school in the information. After investigation, there is indeed a teacher named "Gesangjia" in Tserima Township. After checking with him, Mr. Gesangjia has never released the information of collecting clothes.

　　In addition, the police of Maqu County Public Security Bureau first inquired about the telephone number left in the message, and found that the mobile phone number was not "Gannan area of Gansu" at all, but Liuzhou area of Guangxi, and the prompt was empty. Subsequently, the Netan police of Maqu County Public Security Bureau searched for relevant news on social software such as Post Bar, Weibo and Forum, and found that there had been similar news on the Internet for a long time, and some public security organs determined it as false news.

　　The staff surnamed Zhang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that there are many local assistance policies, and there is no situation that children can’t wear clothes at all. In addition, even if funding information is to be released, it is released by the local civil affairs bureau through official channels, and it is impossible for individuals to release funding information.

　　Experts believe that rumors should be thoroughly clean.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that there are still many old rumors that have been repeatedly spread like "Teacher Gesangjia raises clothes for poor students". In 2018, a cable car in Zhangjiajie caught fire and 17 tourists changed ‘ Roasted duck ’ " The message appeared on the network with photos.

　　In fact, this is a cable car accident in March 2015 in Palestine caused by tourists setting off firecrackers in the cable car, and it was "Zhang Guan Li Dai" to Zhangjiajie. There have been many rumors in the local area, but every once in a while, people post them again on the Internet.

　　Coincidentally, the rumor that a college entrance examination candidate Sun Chao’s ID card was left in a taxi is also constantly spreading and new. Every college entrance examination season, there will always be similar news, but the candidates are located in different places.

　　Why do some old rumors continue to spread after rumors are dispelled? In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily consulted Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Center of China University of Political Science and Law.

　　Zhu Xi told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the reason why the old rumors appeared repeatedly was mainly because the rumors were not thorough enough. "Rumors are not just a process from A to B and point to point," Zhu Wei said. Due to the communication characteristics of the Internet, it is not enough to just publish rumors. Zhu Wei believes that the old rumors are dead but not stiff or resurrected after death because they have not been deleted. Many netizens haven’t seen the rumor information, and rumors still exist on major platforms, so people who don’t know the truth will continue to spread these rumors after a while.

　　In this regard, the network platform should bear the corresponding responsibility. Zhu Wei told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the main responsibility of the network platform includes technical responsibility, which means that not only rumor information should be released, but also rumor information should be deleted. Those who continue to spread rumors should be dealt with seriously, such as titles and cancellation of accounts. In addition, you can also remind netizens who may spread rumors through technical means that the information has been rumored, and if it is spread, it may be blocked.

　　In addition, Zhu Wei told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that if false rumors about disasters, epidemics, warnings and dangers are spread, it involves the scope of the crime of spreading false information, which is a serious violation of the criminal law.
