"I always thought that those blind boxes that came out of the singles were sold by the stallholders selling WeChat with their single friends, or the single people left them alone, like this, I don't know, I am the only one who has sold WeChat?" Dalian The girl Xiaogua recently posted a request for help on social platforms.
Encountered such a bad thing, she could only turn off the function of searching and adding friends.
Since mid-to-late July, after a Changsha university student "has an idea" opened the "Yue Lao Office" stall, single blind boxes have gradually emerged all over the country.
In some cities, there have also been "order-off convenience stores" selling blind-off-order boxes. The more common one is the mini-programs of blind-off-order boxes that form an industry chain to recruit agents on social platforms.
The "play" of this kind of blind box is very simple: only need to pay 1 yuan, you can extract a contact information, or store your own contact information in the "library" and wait for the "destined person" to extract it.
Some netizens said that the blind box is a "love savior" for social fear.
But for Xiaogua, who already has a boyfriend, he still doesn’t know who sold his WeChat account.
In April this year, the topic of #中国超两亿人单身# rushed into hot searches.
In response to this, Xinhuanet once organized a Weibo poll on "What do you think causes many people to be single?" More than 60,000 of the 270,000 netizens who participated in the vote considered it to be a "small social circle", and more than 100,000 believed that it was "social Being small, busy with work, economic conditions, and changing concepts" are all reasons for being single.
Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Jinan and other places have also appeared "off-order convenience stores". The prices of off-order blind boxes sold in the stores range from a few yuan to tens of yuan, and the store staff will sort them according to birthday, constellation, etc. .
The reporter saw at a Tuo Shan themed cafe near Nanluogu Alley in Beijing a few days ago. The Tuo Shan blind box here is made into a capsule shape. Blue represents boys and pink represents girls. They are arranged according to Beijing administrative district and age group.
According to the staff in the store, you can directly spend 3 yuan or 9 yuan to buy different types of take-off capsules; you can also fill in your own information to form a new take-off capsule. Depending on the location, the charge is 39 yuan and 99 yuan. files.
After disassembling the capsule information, you can only take photos to save the information, and you cannot take the capsule away. "The blind box stored here may receive many applications from friends of strangers. If you want to take the capsule off the shelf, you will need to spend 19 yuan. ".
According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 100 Tuodan capsules stored in the store, most of them born in the 90s, and the shelves are mostly in the first half of November.
According to the regulations of the “Exiting Order Rules” posted in the store, it is required to fill in real personal information and social accounts. Once the information is filled in, the authorization to place the capsule is regarded as a voluntary act, and prompts for potential problems such as information leakage and economic exchanges that may be encountered .
Last weekend, Bai Lin, who worked for an Internet company in Beijing, accidentally saw the existence of the blind box applet on social platforms. With the idea of trying it out, he deposited his WeChat account for 1 yuan in the blind box. Only one friend request was received within a week.
Xiaogua received more than a dozen strangers’ requests to add friends in a day or two. “I didn’t realize that my WeChat account was sold until someone said hello when they added a friend and said that they were drawn from the blind box. , The people who add friends even come from different cities."
After the reporter tried to pay 1 yuan on a single blind box applet, without any identity verification, he immediately obtained a WeChat ID, which was a real mobile phone number.
The "How to Play Instructions" of the mini program is also marked, leaving the box with the mobile phone number, location information, WeChat ID, QQ number, etc. that need to be bound to WeChat, and the user recognizes privacy by default when participating in and using the mini program services and functions Provisions.
The "encounter love" that single men and women want has become the "outreach business" in the eyes of merchants.
There have been many different versions of the Blind Box Mini Program, and agents are widely recruited through social platforms, "making money quickly", "platform has accumulated 1000+ data", "promotion means commissioning", "university resources must be done", and "money picking up" "Carnival super-burning project", etc., became their slogan.
A promoter of a single blind box mini program said, “If you are a school student as a campus promotion ambassador, you don’t need to spend money. After joining, you can have your own QR code to set up a stall to make money, and some people spend 1 yuan to draw a blind box. , Will cash back 0.5 yuan".
Another agent of the blind box mini program said that they currently have three cooperation methods: free membership requires 100 customer resources, and the income is divided into fifty-five; if you pay an annual fee of 100 yuan, the income can also be divided into fifty-five; if you pay in one time The annual fee is 300 yuan, and all the benefits belong to the agent. "The three cooperation methods are for 1 year of cooperation, and they will open their own back-ends. The guests will use the exclusive QR code to pay to calculate the agent’s income. We don’t care whether the WeChat ID entered by Dimension Code is true or not. Very few people spend money to give a fake number. Even if you really encounter it, you can ask customer service to compensate and replace it.”
The emergence of single blind boxes increases the probability of single men and women knowing each other, but is there any security risk to the personal information of participants?
In this regard, the reporter consulted Jin Lin, a lawyer at Beijing Jingshi Law Firm.
Jin Lin said: “Whether it’s campus activities or social convenience stores, they actually have the nature of a platform for processing personal information. Although the collection of personal information after obtaining personal consent is basically followed, the processing of personal information does not only include the collection of personal information. , Including storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, deletion, etc." She reminded that, especially in the "Personal Information Protection Law" that came into effect on November 1 this year, it is clearly stipulated that personal information processors should treat Its personal information processing activities are responsible, and necessary measures are taken to ensure the safety of the personal information processed, otherwise it will bear the corresponding legal responsibility. "The personal information provider and the provided party who are out of the single blind box shall have the necessary review to prevent Derivative network fraud, infringement of personal information and other criminal acts occur".
Regarding the single blind box agent or campus promotion ambassador, Jin Lin reminded: "Such identities are also personal information processors, and they must also bear corresponding legal responsibilities. If the platform commits a crime, even though it is a recruited agent, it may also be a victim of abuse. Deception does not all constitute a crime, but its objective behavior is still illegal. If you know that the platform commits a crime and provide assistance, you will also be held criminally responsible."
Jin Lin mentioned that Xiaogua’s experience is a typical violation of personal information. Those who illegally sell other people’s WeChat accounts should bear corresponding administrative penalties. Authorities report and complain, and take up legal weapons to protect themselves."
