Economic Daily: Cutting off the Black Chain of Online Live Streaming, Hidden Money Laundering and Other Chaos in Live Streaming Rooms | Information | Live Streaming Room
The Chongqing police have recently cracked a major cross-border gambling case involving online live streaming, verifying a total of over 400 million yuan in funds involved. The Shanghai police have previously investigated a case of using online live streaming to "reward" money laundering, disrupting a new type of money laundering industry chain that parasitizes online live streaming platforms and launders and transfers illegal funds.
The rapid development of the digital economy has given rise to many new formats, and online live streaming is one of them. The live broadcast room is full of excitement, with steady growth of users, sharp increase in traffic, and increasingly rich content. Many traditional industries and practitioners rely on Internet technology and live broadcast room empowerment to achieve enterprise development and business efficiency upgrading. Data shows that as of December last year, the number of online live streaming users in China has reached 751 million. The anchor broadcasts live sales, showcases talents, and interacts with thousands of users on a square inch screen, meeting people's various spiritual and material needs.
However, the current live streaming room is not an "Eden". Although there is a loud and bustling atmosphere of "buy buy buy buy", there are also hidden illegal activities such as live streaming gambling, tipping and money laundering. Black industry practitioners are eyeing the advantages of online live streaming that transcend spatial limitations, facilitate interaction, and have high natural traffic. They transform themselves in the live broadcast room, put on the guise of a host, and engage in illegal activities, seriously disrupting economic and social order and endangering the safety of people's property.
However, live streaming on the internet is by no means an illegal place and is still within the key regulatory scope of relevant departments. In response to the chaos of money laundering hidden in live streaming rooms, various regions and departments have continued to carry out a series of actions to combat it, effectively safeguarding the interests of netizens and promoting a clear online atmosphere. However, live streaming gambling, reward money laundering, and other illegal activities on the internet have strong concealment, and eliminating them is not a one-time effort or one person one domain effort. It requires collaborative efforts from all sectors of society and long-term efforts.
Functional departments should form a joint effort to guide online live streaming platforms in optimizing key functions, regulating key links, and improving institutional mechanisms, urging all platforms to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities, and cracking down on chaos in live streaming rooms in accordance with laws and regulations. We should also strengthen publicity and guidance, release typical cases of online live streaming crimes, widely inform them of their harmfulness and concealment, help users establish self-protection awareness, and enhance their response capabilities. We need to broaden reporting methods, smooth reporting channels, and encourage netizens to participate in supervision.
Live streaming platforms should take the initiative, take the lead in technology, and use emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to plug system vulnerabilities, forming a technological advantage over network black industries, improving their ability to identify problematic accounts, identify abnormal behavior, and identify cross-border direct broadcasts. In terms of management, it is necessary to take multiple actions, ensure accurate entry, and strengthen the review of qualifications, credit, and behavior records of the anchors who have joined; Defend the safety line, resolutely eliminate broadcasters who engage in inappropriate live streaming behavior, and mark account information to form a blacklist of broadcasters. Adhere to the user centered business philosophy, actively respond to user complaints and reports, protect the legitimate and legitimate rights and interests of users, and create a healthy development ecosystem for the platform.
For online broadcasters, it is important to raise awareness and remember that "no one can reach out for infringement, no one can get unjust wealth, and no one can fall into traffic traps.". We should always abide by laws and regulations, regulate our own behavior, and seek development through quality content, thoughtful services, and conscientious products.
