People's Daily commented on "subway sneak shooting of a dragon": cannot "use exposure to control exposure" or "use violence to control violence" events | Women | use violence to control violence
In recent days, the incident of Guangzhou's subway secretly filming an oolong has continued to ferment on the internet. The cause of the incident was that a woman saw an uncle squatting on the subway playing with her phone, suspecting that the other person was secretly taking pictures of her. To prove his innocence, the uncle agreed to check his phone album. However, after discovering a misunderstanding, the woman still chose to expose it online.

It is not difficult to see that the girl's starting point is to protect her legitimate rights and interests. Objectively speaking, being secretly photographed is a phenomenon that many girls detest and is also a key target of legal regulations. It is precisely because of such concerns that women are vigilant and take strict precautions against similar behaviors, which is also a manifestation of self-protection awareness. Especially, being able to muster the courage to seek evidence in public places can to some extent help curb the occurrence of such illegal behavior. However, the basis for asserting rights should be facts and truth. From the current publicly available information, it is indeed debatable to maliciously speculate on the parties involved even though it is a misunderstanding.
It is natural to protect one's legitimate rights and interests, but one cannot ignore or even infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others. It must be realized that baseless accusations are not rights protection, malicious speculation is not rights protection, and online exposure is not rights protection. Compared to real life, the diffusion and amplification effects of any information in cyberspace will double. Once spread through false rumors, the fabricated rumors may become a firm label attached to a person, affecting and even hindering real life.
At present, the woman has publicly apologized online, and the uncle and his family have chosen to understand this. However, online public opinion has not subsided, and many netizens continue to pay attention to what kind of outcome the woman will face. But during this process, some netizens exposed the woman's name, age, school, major, and other personal information. Some netizens also dug out her personal social media account, and even insulted and insulted her, with constant condemnation and suspicion of online violence.
An obvious fact is that the people have been suffering from online violence for a long time. Not long ago, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Public Security drafted the "Guiding Opinions on Punishing Cyber Violence and Illegal Crimes in accordance with the Law", intending to make clear provisions for similar words and actions. Those who create or spread rumors on the information network, defame others, damage their reputation, or use methods such as wanton verbal abuse, malicious attacks, and disclosure of privacy to openly insult others may be convicted and punished for defamation and insult. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call to people's online words and deeds. The Internet is not a place outside the law, and everyone should be responsible for their own words. "Speak well" is not only a ritual in daily life, but also a self-restraint in cyberspace.
From responding to questioning on the subway, to the woman apologizing and choosing forgiveness, "I hope the school won't fire her, she's not easy." The parties involved in the incident faced misunderstandings with goodwill, which is not only the best way to correct their own image, but also shows us another solution to similar incidents. Right or wrong has its own legal principles. The result of speaking recklessly and using hidden keys to harm others can only be harmful to oneself, which is not conducive to the resolution of events and is even more detrimental to the ecology and social order of the cyberspace. More tolerance and understanding are necessary for society to have fewer conflicts and more harmony. This principle is simple, but it is not easy to achieve.
Borrowing a netizen's statement, the development of the incident has come to an appropriate point where "I have learned a lesson, the public has been educated, and kindness has been respected". More importantly, whether people can gather consensus on their words and deeds on the Internet through similar events, and maintain the integrity of rights protection, attention, and focus on the facts, and return the Internet to a clean and upright atmosphere.
This is precisely: reason does not speak louder, right and wrong have their own justice. Speak rationally online, don't turn words into sharp knives.
