Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

On QQ, Lao Z kept sending messages.

"Mo G's account has more than 500 videos, most of which are copied from other people."

"I used a web crawler to download all his videos, then created an intelligent comparison system to perform a similarity analysis with other content creators' original videos on Bilibili. Hey, guess what happened?"

Before Qin Lang could respond, news of what happened next came from the other end.

"Of Mo G's 528 videos, 487 are suspected of plagiarism or reposting."

Immediately afterwards, Lao Z sent a screenshot, which was a very long list listing every video under Mo G's account that was suspected of plagiarism, along with the corresponding original content creator information and similarity data.

No wonder it takes a whole day; the workload is indeed enormous.

Qin Lang looked at the list, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Mo G, you're a big influencer, yet you're doing all this dirty work behind the scenes. If I report all of this, I wonder if you can handle the consequences?"

Having spent so much time in this industry in his past life, Qin Lang naturally understood that those who plagiarized dared to do it because they knew that the platform's reporting process was cumbersome and the cost of legal recourse was high. Many original authors simply didn't have the energy, money, or time to pursue them, and most could only swallow their anger and accept their bad luck in the end.

However, that guy G is really too arrogant. Not only did he copy and plagiarize videos, but he also hired so many online trolls to cyberbully the original creators.

"Hey Z, can you upload your auto-report script directly to Bilibili?"

Old Z: "No problem. I wrote a program that can automatically call Bilibili's reporting interface and submit reporting requests in batches."

"Each report request will be accompanied by the evidence I just mentioned, including similarity comparison data, watermark fragment screenshots, metadata analysis reports, and so on."

"As long as Bilibili has manual reviewers, they can see this evidence. Unless they pretend to be blind, there is no reason for them to refuse the review."

Qin Lang rolled his eyes and asked, "Won't the platform consider this a malicious report?"

"No. I attach a unique hash value to each of my reports, which the platform can verify the authenticity of. Furthermore, I don't report indiscriminately; each report includes a specific explanation of the infringement and a chain of evidence, all of which comply with the platform's reporting guidelines."

Qin Lang nodded and continued to message, asking, "If I take this technical appraisal report to legal action, can it be used as strong evidence?"

Old Z replied almost without hesitation: "Yes, it's guaranteed. I consulted a lawyer friend, and this kind of evidence is practically irrefutable in court. If the case is won, the losing party will not only have to pay damages for the infringement but also issue a public apology and a statement."

Qin Lang thought about it and decided against it. Going through legal channels would take too long. His fan base was still dwindling, public opinion was still brewing, and Qian Hao was still demanding compensation. Even if he won the case through legal proceedings, he would definitely be financially ruined.

The fastest way is still to report it to the platform.

However, Qin Lang did not rush to send the technical appraisal report made by Lao Z to Bilibili's backend. He was worried that if Bilibili's review team was slow to process the report, or if Mo Gtou had connections on the platform and interfered, it might end up being a case of punching cotton.

To kill a snake, strike its vital spot.

Mo G has an online army, right? Then let's get more people to spit on him and drown that army.

Qin Lang: "Old Z, could you incorporate public opinion guidance into your whistleblowing script?"

Old Z sent a puzzled emoji followed by the text: "Combined with public opinion guidance? What do you mean? Be more specific."

"I think that while we are issuing mass reports, we should also make this technical appraisal report as public as possible to netizens. Of course, we don't need to make the entire contents of the report public. We can just make the most important parts, such as watermark fragment comparison and timestamp authentication, into text and images or short videos, and post them on platforms such as Bilibili, Weibo, and Zhihu, so that fans and casual viewers can see them."

Upon seeing Qin Lang's idea, Old Z immediately understood and replied, "As long as the public opinion is strong enough, the platform won't dare to suppress it easily. Haha, you're trying to use public opinion to force the platform to back down."

Qin Lang: "This is safer. Under external pressure, Bilibili will definitely give a quick and fair result. After all, they don't want to be labeled as 'protecting plagiarists,' which would cause them to lose followers."

"Haha, the brain that can create such silly animations is truly extraordinary."

Later, Old Z once again demonstrated his expertise, saying, "In that case, I can help you create a webpage to organize all the evidence into a visual format for easy dissemination."

This is not over yet.

"In addition, I can write some code to analyze the characteristics of the trolls in that MoG head comment section and help you distinguish between troll accounts and real users. In this way, when you fight back, you can tell at a glance which comments are opinions from real users and which are negative comments from trolls."

"Holy crap, this is great." Qin Lang's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Old Z to have this kind of skill.

With that information in mind, Qin Lang relaxed and sent Old Z a message: "So tell me, what are the typical characteristics of online troll accounts?"

Old Z: "Short registration time, few posts, simple interaction behavior, concentrated IP addresses, templated comments... there are too many. I can do an automated analysis based on these aspects, tag the troll accounts, and generate a report. Then you can send this report out along with the technical assessment report, and everyone will know at a glance that Mo G's side is using trolls to stir up trouble."

Indeed, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Qin Lang leaned back leisurely on the sofa, already sketching out a complete counterattack plan in his mind.

Just as Qin Lang was about to discuss the specific operational plan with Lao Z, his phone suddenly rang; someone had sent a text message.

Looking down, I saw that it was a message from Qian Hao.

"Qin Lang, there are only two days left of the three-day deadline. Just a reminder, Article 8, Section 4 of the contract clearly states that if Party B has any negative news or credibility issues during the cooperation period and cannot provide Party A with effective results, Party A has the right to demand double compensation from Party B. It's written in black and white, so don't try to renege on your promise."

"100,000 yuan, transferred to this account within two days: 62..."

"If you fail to pay on time, our company's legal department will file a lawsuit directly. Young man, you'd better watch yourself."

After reading these few text messages, Qin Lang calmly put his phone aside.
