My mom finally couldn't help but call me, asking if my job has any relation with Baidu? And whether they are of the same nature. Look at how CCTV scared an honest and kind old lady. I don't know how many employees of Baidu have received calls from their families these days. One by one, benevolent and profound parents have always lived in the world created by CCTV. They do not know that the upstream of Liupanshui has been filled with chromium slag, which is flowing towards the Pearl River and Oriental Pearl. They do not know that Typhoon Meihua has destroyed the dam of Dalian PX Chemical Plant, posing a leakage risk at any time. They do not know that seafood cannot be eaten now, as the oil pipelines in Bohai Sea are discharging oil continuously. They do not know that the money distributed by the neighborhood committee last year for donation to the Red Cross was actually taken by a woman to buy a bag. They do not know that an Italian woman refused the compensation plan of the Ministry of Railways. There are too many things they do not know about.
But they know about a Baidu, and a very imaginative journalist who kept revising a non-existent website to test whether Baidu violated regulations.
But they still do not know that instant online communication software can be used to read against the backdrop during interviews on the street. They still do not know that the program can be edited, and you can choose only one segment out of multiple interviews. They still do not know that a fishing law enforcement police made a migrant worker cut off his own finger.
I can't imagine how evil Baidu is, it actually made CCTV sacrifice so much prime time, repeatedly broadcasting, with a posture like "The Story of Princess Huanzhu", producing sequels every now and then, but the plot is surprisingly similar to the previous episodes, just more complicated and longer.
So, what did Baidu do to offend CCTV?
Some people say Baidu paid less protection fees, others say CCTV is worried about the Internet replacing its media hegemony position, all nonsense. The motivation of CCTV far exceeds our ordinary understanding range, of course, I am also an ordinary person, I only know that Baidu is a NASDAQ listed company, and any violation will be severely punished.
But the law didn't act, MIIT didn't act, US Securities and Exchange Commission didn't act, CCTV acted.
After this incident, I hope Baidu can be more proactive in filtering sensitive words in the future, although you are a US listed company, but you should contribute to building the largest local area network in the world.
At the same time, I sincerely hope that there are more and more entrepreneurs who expect Baidu to be less utilitarian, consider more for ordinary, small-funded websites, and be more tolerant of small companies on the open platform.
Only the overall prosperity of China's Internet enterprises, and the vigorous development of more and more network enterprises, is Baidu's responsibility.
