"If network control is carried out at an early stage and some mandatory measures are taken, there is still a chance to guide the direction of the Internet. Even if it is not good, we can also screen and modify the news from the place where the terrorist attack occurred. At least it can Limit the spread of panic. But now that doomsday theory has become mainstream on the Internet, it is more difficult to reverse it.”
When Ye Linglong talked about this, the ignorant and innocent look of Loli was no longer visible on her face, replaced by the look of a serious, confident and domineering queen. However, her body still looks like a small lolita, and coupled with the so-called queen style, in the eyes of others, she may only be called a "little adult".
As terrorist attacks continued to occur, Lin Miaomiao, Kelter, Angus and others had already continued to put out the fire. At the headquarters of the Extraordinary Administration, the person responsible for receiving and assisting Ye Linglong was a director of the network management department.
"What Ms. Ye said is that our network management department has just been established, and our experience in this area is still very insufficient." Network Minister Sophia said with a sad look on her face.
Sophia's "worry" was not only that she was unable to control her comments on the Internet, but also that she felt incomprehensible that the director had invited such a little lolita. As she said, the network management department is a newly established department, and it has only been doing logistical work since its establishment. For example, the network maintenance of the Extraordinary Administration, data entry and backup of the database, etc., do not involve the guidance and control of online public opinion at all.
After all, before Ye Zan went into seclusion, this small world had always been relatively peaceful, and the followers of the evil god did not dare to show any trace at all. And as Ye Zan went into seclusion, the evil spirits outside the world saw the opportunity to be reborn, or it could be said that they had to make a desperate move, and only then did those evil god believers appear.
"Forget it, I'm going to start working!" Ye Linglong waved her little hand and took out a laptop from the Qiankun Ring.
This laptop is actually equivalent to a small smart computer host. It has far more powerful computing power than Qianli Chuanshen, and is also assisted by artificial intelligence. In terms of performance in all aspects, this computer, which is only the size of a 16-page magazine, is countless times more powerful than the mainframe of the network management department.
"Miss Ye, is there anything we need to do?" Sophia glanced at the small computer with a surprised look on her face, and asked Ye Linglong more carefully. Although she didn't know Ye Linglong's true identity, she knew simply from this small computer that this little loli must have an extraordinary origin.
But having said that, Ye Linglong was invited by Director Angus, and he was also a companion of those powerful Dharma-level men. Such an origin was scary enough. It is precisely because of this that no one dares to stand up and question this little loli, regardless of whether Sophia has confidence in her heart or whether there are unruly geniuses in the network management department.
"You guys, go get busy if you have something to do. It doesn't matter if you have nothing to do and just watch from the side. I will tell you when I need your help." Ye Linglong started to operate the computer in front of her while responding to Sophia's inquiry very casually.
Since you don't mind watching by yourself, and you really have nothing to do, then just stay and wait on you! Sophia was very clear about her position and knew that she could not be of much help, but she still had no problem serving tea and water.
"Now, the panic on the Internet has taken shape, and it is not easy to reverse it. You have almost destroyed your credibility by covering it up and making announcements. To put it bluntly, whatever you say now will not matter. It's impossible to win the trust of those people on the Internet." Ye Linglong used the analytical ability of her brain to quickly go through the information on the Internet and make a basic judgment on the network situation.
"Covering the lid" is not the patent of a certain ruler, nor is it a specialty of a certain world, but a skill that any person or organization standing in that position will automatically understand. Sometimes, this approach cannot be said to be wrong. After all, the "stupid majority" are easily incited. Rather than letting them know the truth and amplifying the impact, it is better not to let them know from the beginning.
However, some things can be "covered", but some things cannot be covered at all. When something cannot be covered up at all, but you still try to cover it up, it will only leave an untrustworthy impression. From now on, even if you tell the truth on many things, it will become a lie in the eyes of the "stupid majority", just like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
Just like now, terrorist attacks are breaking out all over the world. Such things cannot be contained at all, unless the Internet is cut off immediately. However, disconnecting the Internet is just a cover-up. The management office cannot see the hot discussion on the Internet, but in fact it is more likely to encourage people to panic.
"Well, it's true that we thought it wrong. We thought it was just a few terrorist attacks..." Sophia was pointed out her mistake by a little loli who looked less than ten years old, and her face turned red with shame.
"Look at these explanations you gave! Natural gas explosion? Earthquake? Chemical plant leak? These reasons don't seem like reasons that can make people feel at ease!" Ye Linglong didn't give any face to her and pointed at the computer screen. some information said.
The Extraordinary Administration used this method to cover up the earliest terrorist attacks. If there were just a few occasional terrorist attacks, these reasons would not be considered so lame. At most, they would be equally uneasy. However, as terrorist attacks continue to occur, one city can be blamed for a natural gas explosion, two cities can be blamed for a chemical plant leak, but can more than a dozen cities still use these excuses
If we now say that natural gas explosion accidents have occurred in ten cities, even if "most" are "stupid", I am afraid they will not think that this is really an accident. After all, the "stupid majority" is not the "dumb majority". They are not without intelligence, they are just easily incited.
"Then, when you saw that you couldn't hold it back anymore, you issued another announcement saying that it was a terrorist attack. Unfortunately, people no longer believe you this time. Instead, they are more willing to believe that the end of the world is coming." Looking at the message behind, Ye Linglong continued.
"Yes!" Sophia sighed with helplessness, placed the poured juice next to the little Lolita, and said angrily: "This is obviously the truth, and it is more credible than those doomsday theories. However, they would rather believe in more absurd doomsday theories than believe in the truth that is more consistent with the facts.”
An incident once occurred in the ancient Hua Kingdom. Due to the leakage of a nuclear power plant in a neighboring country, they were worried that nuclear contamination would spread to them and affect them, so they were tempted by rumors to grab salt. The salt grabbing incident at that time involved almost the entire ancient Hua Kingdom. Civilians from the coast to the inland began to rush to buy salt in large quantities, causing problems with the supply of salt to a certain extent.
Earlier, when the financial system was not perfect enough, both in ancient China and Western countries, there had been "run events". To put it bluntly, someone spread a rumor that a certain bank had no money and was about to go bankrupt, so depositors went to the bank to withdraw their deposits, which eventually led to the bank actually going bankrupt.
The technology world has conducted research on conspiracy theories, arguing that humans are always more willing to believe in the most sensational things. For example, conspiracy theories about UFOs and aliens, about the Rothschild family controlling the world, and about mysterious organizations such as the Skull and Bones Society, the Eye of Heaven, and the Freemasons.
It can be said that the bigger the event is, the more serious the information asymmetry is, the more people want to know as soon as possible in order to calm their uneasy hearts.
"Obviously, in this matter, although there are problems with your improper handling, there are also some secretly guiding and instigating people." Ye Linglong said while clicking a few times on the computer, and the screen suddenly listed A lot of information.
"Someone is inciting? Could it be the followers of the evil god!" When Sophia heard this, she suddenly became energetic and looked like she wanted to go to those people to settle accounts immediately.
"Not all of them are necessarily believers of the evil god. There may also be some idle people who are worried about the world being in chaos. But here, there is nothing wrong with just treating them as believers of the evil god." Ye Linglong stared at the screen and responded to Sophia's question casually.
"Can you find out who they are? Also, can you know their true identities and where they are?" Sophia felt that the time had come for her to be useful, and she couldn't wait to ask.
"Well, catching them out can indeed alleviate panic to a certain extent. After all, these ordinary people who are incited often do not think that they are incited, and think that all their remarks are derived from their own thinking. Once they are allowed to Knowing that they are actually being incited and being used as fools by people with serious intentions, they will not hesitate to give up the 'real facts' that they originally believed in and deal with the instigators in turn." Ye Linglong raised her lips slightly. Showing a contemptuous smile.
The "stupid majority" often never think of themselves as stupid, otherwise they would not be part of the "majority". They often believe that the things they do and the remarks they make are not incited by anyone, but are the product of their own rational thinking. Although they are part of the "majority", they all have the illusion that "everyone is drunk and I am sober", as if they are the only sensible person in the world.
But in fact, why did trolls become so popular and even become an industry in the early Internet era of the technological world? Isn't it because people on the Internet are easily incited? Under the instigation of thoughtful people, they can turn some words and jokes into phenomenal products, they can use the Internet to use violence to kill people, they can turn white into black, and they can turn black into white.
It's just that no matter how much effort they put in when they were incited, they would retaliate twice as hard on the instigators after they "awoke".
"Here, this is a list. It has their real names and addresses. You can take it and do what you want." Ye Linglong said and transferred the list information on the computer directly to Sophia's Thousand Miles Teleportation.
"Okay, I will send it to the police departments in various places and ask them to arrest people according to the list!" Sophia took out Thousand Miles Teleportation and glanced at it, and said with eyes shining suddenly.
Sophia turned and left the room to distribute the information on the list to police departments in various places, waiting to "bring to justice" those who incited and guided online public opinion.
As for Ye Linglong, after giving out the list, she did not just sit back and think about strategies to guide online public opinion.
"To summarize this information, all conspiracy statements under each name and related link information are made into a form that can be quickly browsed. Then, not only the official website of the Extraordinary Administration, but also major forums are provided Let them send it once and see how it works," Ye Linglong muttered while giving instructions to the artificial intelligence in the computer.
If you are alone, doing such tedious things often requires a lot of time and energy. However, for artificial intelligence, it only takes a moment to complete the tasks issued by Ye Linglong.
Soon, a large number of posts appeared on the Internet, naming the instigators and their various details. Although, after seeing those posts, some people still insist that this is just a trick played by the "government" and a retaliation against those of them who insist on the truth. However, some people did have another conspiracy theory that Ye Linglong wanted them to have from the information listed in the post.
Immediately afterwards, regarding the terrorist attacks around the world, Ye Linglong also made a direct and clear announcement. In the announcement, she did not hide anything, showing both the evil god believers and the terrorist attacks, as well as the various losses and casualties caused by the terrorist attacks.
In addition, when announcing the information about the terrorist attack, Ye Linglong also included a lot of videos of the scene. However, she asked artificial intelligence to edit the video, focusing on the heroic performance of the "government" in the terrorist attack.
On the Internet, if you want to make something lose its popularity, or change the direction of public opinion, you often need to replace it with another thing. For example, if something negative about celebrities comes out online, the best thing to do is to quickly put a peer on the hot search list to reduce their popularity.
After all, the memory of netizens is like that of goldfish. Although goldfish do not really have only seven seconds of memory, netizens are indeed very forgetful. Often, netizens pay attention to one thing, and after a short period of time forming a craze, they will soon forget about it as new information appears.
