Riding the wind of rebirth

Soon, 'The Last Yashkokamut' and several of his friends, who were the first users on the forum to claim that Charles Chernow was him, and who later threatened them to shut up, were thoroughly investigated by the administrators and Mai Xiaomiao.

"That's enough." They could have continued to dig deeper, but the league's legal representative, Hughes, and the attorney for the lawsuit, Tony Huang, stopped them in time: "If we go any deeper, it will really violate personal privacy."

The current clues being traced are limited to the chat records in the chat room, the works of several people, and the economic dealings, but many problems have already been uncovered.

The funniest thing is that the two masterminds, that is, the two accounts that threatened Charles Chenow's friends, seemed to think that their actions were very covert, so they were almost unscrupulous, but they didn't know that they would almost be exposed under the investigation of experts.

What is most laughable is that these two accounts are not only "work accounts" but also "life accounts", which means that these two users not only use it to threaten others in the forum, but also expose their financial transactions with some institutions, instigate and plan bribery in the organization of some actions, and also have many other daily life behaviors that are enough to expose their identities.

For example, transferring alliance digital currency into and out of bank accounts, participating in concerts organized by the alliance, using alliance digital currency to buy discounted tickets, etc.

"You don't have to worry about what happens next." Hughes thanked Mai Xiaomiao, "Thanks in particular to Lily. In just one night, we have basically confirmed that there is a person who uses the Alliance Forum platform as a venue for activities and threatens the illegal identities of some music publishers to engage in illegal activities. Moreover, these people are obviously related to a certain organization."

"We will submit the evidence to the police and ask them to intervene and continue investigating along these clues," said Tony Huang. "Although these are almost irrefutable evidence, we still have to seek procedural correctness. It is definitely the greatest right thing for the police to take the credit."

"So can we start to eliminate the adverse effects on us at the forum?" As shareholder representatives, Ikeda Qiu and Zhang Silu are most concerned about this issue.

"Don't worry." Zhou Zhi quickly raised his hand to stop him: "It won't be too late if we wait a few days."

"What?"

"Well, there is a question of Internet psychology here." Zhou Zhi then remembered that most people today do not know about two common Internet phenomena in later generations: "Do you know the concepts of the cycle length of Internet public opinion topics and reversal news?"

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Zhou Zhi said, "Based on our research on online topics, we found that they have a cyclical nature, and the peak and trough values ​​of topic popularity are related to the cyclical stages."

"Through research, we have found that the generation and development of online public opinion must appear, develop and be realized in a certain time and space environment, and therefore it must have a life cycle from rise to decline."

"All public opinions go through a process from existence to non-existence, and their evolution and development conform to the cyclical law of the brewing period, outbreak period, and dissipation period of public opinion, thus establishing a model of the emergence, survival, integration, and dissipation of online public opinion topics." "If you want to guide online public opinion, it is best to guide online public opinion from the four key nodes of the life cycle: the 'latent period', 'outburst period', 'continuation period', and 'decline period'. This will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Mai Xiaomiao said: "We used posts on the Clover Forum platform as samples to explore the effect of the length of the topic cycle on the popularity of the topic and the predictive model. We used power spectrum analysis to calculate the length of the topic cycle, and used logistic regression and decision trees to test the predictive effect of the length of the topic cycle on the popularity of the topic. The results show that most topics have three "main frequencies" of one week, half a week, and one-third of a week, and the "main frequency" has an inhibitory effect on the popularity of the topic;"

"In addition, there are two wavelength clusters that have a suppressive effect on the popularity of topics, namely the 'wavelength' cluster of one-third of a week and the 'wavelength' cluster of about one week."

"In the two segments of 2.6 days to 3 days and 5.2 days to 6 days, since they are mainly in the 'fast frequency' and short wavelength within the length of 6 days and outside the three 'main frequency suppression zones', they will have a positive effect on the popularity of the topic."

"So the next half day, and most of the day three days later, will be the days when the Alliance Forum will be the most criticized." Zhou Zhi looked at the stunned people with a smile: "If we release contrary news during these two times, it will not only be difficult for the public to believe, but it will also easily cause resentment."

"The so-called 'reversal news' refers to the fact that as the details and truth of an incident are constantly uncovered, the plot suddenly reverses, and the attitude of public opinion immediately changes with the reversal of the news 'plot'. The sympathetic victim instantly becomes the one being despised, and the perpetrator who is attacked immediately becomes the one being sympathized. In an instant, there is a 180-degree emotional shift."

“The reason for the reverse news is mainly due to the combination of fragmented information and stereotypes.”

"In the self-media environment, the timeliness of news reports has been strengthened, and even become instantaneous - it is best to make information public as soon as possible. At the same time, fragmented dissemination has become a habit, and a lot of information has been widely disseminated without verification or incompleteness."

"However, the objects involved in the information may have relatively solid stereotypes in the public mind, such as the elderly who were knocked down, or the relationship between the Union Forum and music practitioners."

"When this kind of news comes out for the first time, people will receive fragmented information without patient and rational judgment due to their stereotypes, and will let their stereotypes mobilize and quickly draw conclusions."

"This conclusion may be a generalization or too subjective. In addition, the disseminator's speculative reports deliberately cater to and stimulate public anxiety in order to maximize the dissemination effect. Thus, the disseminator becomes a rumor spreader and a destroyer of the authenticity of the news."

"There are three types of such communicators: one is those who rush to grab time and attention; one is those who are blindly following others, have no principles, logical thinking, or objective judgment; and the other is the 'water army', who are conspirators who are intervened by certain forces to interfere with and create public opinion."

"We have to deal with all three types of people, but dealing with them also requires methods and means. So during the first peak of public opinion, that is, the 'first reversal window' from 3 days to 5.2 days, we can do some work to guide and correct public opinion. The method is to propose another way of thinking about the relationship between Charles Chernow's death and the Alliance Forum, and put forward some facts that can be further thought about, such as the relationship between Charles Chernow and the forum user account 'The Last Yashkokamut', and the number of downloads of his songs, so that everyone can find out that his monthly income should have exceeded US dollars."
