Baidu Post Bar section implies "pornography-related" advertisements. According to the reporter’s investigation, most of the illegal accounts are "small" or come from online shopping posting services.

New Yellow River reporter: Ding Guobin  

Browsing the contents of different sections of Baidu Post Bar, netizens often find illegal advertisements that imply "pornography" in posting information or post messages, most of which have QQ numbers and other contact channels. In addition, netizens also found that there are daily posts such as job hunting, and soon there will be illegal advertisements. Where are these implied "pornography-related" posts published? Are there any interest chains behind them? Why can they pass the platform review? Recently, a survey by a reporter from the New Yellow River found that a variety of posting services can be hired through the online shopping platform for only a few tens of yuan. People in the industry said that illegal content was sent by intelligent script programs, and homophones were often used to avoid auditing. For illegal posts appearing on the Internet, Baidu Post Bar hotline said that complaints can be reported.

The content of the post bar implies "pornography" information.

Most of them have contact information such as QQ number.

"Changzhi Bar, Wuhu Bar and other cities have some illegal posts." A netizen said that most of the illegal contents involve advertisements related to pornography. "These advertisements related to pornography are deeply hidden. They usually have words such as’ girl in the same city’,’ Baidu online disk’ and’ real delivery’, and there are a lot of emoticons between the lines. We tried to contact Baidu for this information but didn’t get a reply. "

Recently, the reporter of New Yellow River searched several cities in Baidu Post Bar. Among them, Changzhi Bar published a post with words such as "door-to-door service" named "3 consecutive _ tired articles" and left a contact QQ number. In addition, there are some theme posts, such as voting options, the end of the article, etc., with obvious pornographic information, full of sexual hints and other languages. The reporter noted that many such posts were posted on March 10th and still existed on the Internet on 14th.

According to the information provided by netizens, the reporter from the New Yellow River entered Wuhu Bar, a post titled "Looking for a job with five insurances and one gold", and there was no illegal information in its content, but in a post on February 15, there were multiple ID account messages with a combination of words and expressions, and the content had nothing to do with the theme post of finding a job. On the personal homepage of this account, there are three numbers in the signature column, which are combined into QQ number. After the reporter tried to add this number of friends successfully, he recommended adding personal WeChat. In the WeChat account, there is obvious pornographic information in the personalized signature, and QQ group is provided. "There are a lot of advertisements that imply’ pornography’ in the post bar now. In order to avoid the audit of relevant departments, they usually add friends several times to commit illegal acts." The netizen said.

Most of them are "three noes" accounts that send illegal information, and use homophones and other means to avoid intelligent audit.

The reporter of the New Yellow River investigated a number of accounts with "pornography-related" information, most of which are "three noes" accounts with lower levels, that is, extremely low-quality accounts without profiles, avatars and effective content. A person who has been engaged in post bar management said that most of these accounts are registered in batches, which can be easily obtained by people with certain Internet technology.

"The program of advertising AI (intelligent script) is very simple, and logically it can be done by one person alone. If you want to target a platform that is not strictly regulated, one person can be an information publishing robot in one day. But from another perspective, the real difficulty of such products lies in how to overcome the verification and security issues of the forum, which is technically difficult. " A person in the IT industry explained that to publish information with intelligent scripts, it is necessary to understand the man-machine verification and key shielding words of the corresponding platform, and then transplant the advertisements to be published in the page to ensure that the posts are not found and deleted by administrators and systems. At present, some platforms have introduced AI management technology a long time ago, and targeted inspection and deletion of key information.

Why are there some implied violation information? A person engaged in Internet programs said, "At present, smart scripts often bypass the system judgment by means of homophones and mixed expressions, and also grab various contents on the Internet and post them disguised as various interesting paragraphs, popular science articles and other contents. When the audience finished reading this post with great interest, they found that there was a violation message at the end. At present, there is no effective way to deal with it in terms of technical means. For manual management methods, it is difficult to pay labor costs for full-time post review. "

Online merchants sell posting services, ranging from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars to post all kinds of posts.

On March 16th, an online shop owner who claimed to be the main "Post Bar business" said that the store had a variety of post bar accounts for sale, and paid top posts to keep a theme post on the home page of the post bar for a long time, controlled multiple accounts to "rob the building to reply" to the theme posts sent by others to spread information, bought "zombie fans" to create a false big V, and sent private messages to users one by one. Its sales accounts also include "ordinary number", "high quality clean number" and "high imitation number", which are used for posting in various forms such as "casting a net widely" and "making a big V".

The store’s price table shows that the above business ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. "You can post all kinds of posts, as well as private messages and concerns." Shopkeepers said that they would adjust the price according to the risk level of the posted content. Some netizens told reporters that they had also received private messages from strange trumpets, many of which contained hidden information about pornography.

According to the above-mentioned people engaged in internet programs, the product programs behind the services sold by merchants can be operated only through simple learning, and users do not need professional computer programming knowledge. "This kind of program often needs iteration and maintenance, so the circulation mode of this kind of software is often to open the use right to the buyer instead of directly transferring the program to the buyer." This person believes that it is difficult for such programs to get rid of the developers and circulate in the market alone. The specific users will have a certain relationship with the developers to a certain extent. "Behind some’ three noes’ accounts in the post bar, there is an interest chain related to intelligent script development and professional posting."

It took a lot of trouble to report to Baidu officials, and Post Bar was once "interviewed" for being involved in pornography.

On the afternoon of March 23rd, a reporter from the New Yellow River reported that a job post in Wuhu Bar implied "involving pornography". The official hotline of Baidu Post Bar said that it was recommended to use the web page to report through voice. At present, this post has been deleted. However, other unreported implied "pornographic" posts still exist in various post bars.

According to previous media reports, Baidu Post Bar has pornographic information and was "interviewed" by the Internet Office. To this end, Baidu has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to crack down on bad false information through technical means and manual inspections. In addition, Baidu Post Bar launched the "nationwide report" program, opened the complaint reporting channel, accepted the supervision of friends, bar owners and users of the whole network, and set up a special team to deal with netizens’ complaints and feedback in time.

According to Li Wenna of Shandong Chongyao Law Firm, according to relevant laws, individual users are using the Internet to make, copy, publish, sell and disseminate obscene articles, and serious cases may be suspected of criminal offences. "At present, the definition of publishing illegal information on behalf of the law is unclear, the boundary of responsibility is vague, and it is difficult to prove. When the illegal information is released, if there are illegal and criminal facts, the platform where the illegal information appears and the illegal molecular weight crime of hiring the’ water army’ to publish such information can be sentenced, but the personnel who publish it on their behalf lack corresponding punishment. " Li Wenna suggested that the network platform should improve the corresponding network technology, strengthen the screening of relevant information, and strengthen the supervision of the registered post account.
