Zhongxin Finance, April 30 (Reporter Wu Tao) Recently, Weibo has launched the IP territorial function in full, that is, the domestic display is displayed to the province/region, and the foreign display is displayed to the country. Users cannot turn off this function.
For a time, all kinds of "people in the United States" and "people in Japan" have nowhere to hide - it turns out that they are all in China.
The IP territory is here, who is "naked swimming".
Weibo IP territories are fully launched, and more platforms will follow up
On April 28, Weibo announced that it will fully open comments to display the small tail function of IP territorial, and launch the function of "Personal Homepage Level 1 Page Displaying IP Origin".
According to reports, this is mainly to reduce bad behaviors such as impersonating the parties to hot events, malicious rumors, and rubbing traffic, and to ensure the authenticity and transparency of the content.

In fact, in addition to Sina Weibo, according to incomplete statistics, in April, today's headlines, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou, Zhihu and other platforms have also issued announcements saying that they will gradually open the "personal homepage to display account IP territories" function .
Some platforms will also display the small tail of the user's IP in some comments or answers, and the user cannot actively turn on or off this function.
The reporter noticed that on platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Zhihu, some users' personal pages have displayed their IP territories, but some users have not yet displayed them.
At present, Weibo is the first company to fully release IP territories.
Zhongxin Finance reporters have learned from many sources that this function will be launched on all major platforms in the future.
On the evening of the 29th, according to the official account of "WeChat Coral Security", the WeChat public platform will display the IP territory of the user when the content is published. Users cannot open or close the relevant display voluntarily for the time being. This function will be tested in the near future, and the follow-up will be based on the test situation. Open to users one after another.

After the IP territorial function was launched, a large number of Internet celebrities showed their original shape. The IP territorial of "Laijiang in Tokyo" was displayed as Shanghai; the IP territorial of "Nana in the UK" was Guangdong; the IP territorial of "Wang Yaoshi in the UK" was Tianjin.

There are also "cc eat and drink in Germany" with the IP territory of Shandong; "Xiao Chen in India" with the IP territory of Hainan; and "chacha wen in Japan" with the IP territory of Guangdong.
It turned out that there was a joke that when I called a friend, I heard him say "I just got off the plane, and I am in the United States."
At that time I felt like you were pretending, but I had no proof.
Now there is, "Do you dare to post a Weibo?"
"Those things about Beijingers" IP belongs to Hunan.

Interestingly, all of them are also in China, and a group of Internet celebrity bloggers also operate across regions. The “Guangzhou Food, Drink and Fun Collection” IP is located in Hunan; the “Tianjin Food, Drink and Fun” IP is located in Guangdong; the “Charming Liaoning” IP is located in Guangdong; "Things about Beijingers" IP is located in Hunan.
Some netizens joked: What is the picture?
Don't you have fun in your place?
Is the IP Territory completely accurate?
Some people ask, is the IP territorial accurate?
According to Weibo and a number of platforms, the site only displays the location of the corresponding IP, and does not obtain other information. The location is analyzed according to the operator's IP information. If you have any questions, you can consult the corresponding telecom operator.

Today’s headlines stated that the account IP location displayed on the platform is the network location of the user’s last post or comment, and the account IP location is subject to the information provided by the operator.
The reporter contacted a number of netizens and received a reply that "the display of my own IP territory is accurate".
However, some analysts pointed out that IP virtual tools are emerging in an endless stream on the market, and IP territorial cannot solve problems such as rumors once and for all. This function mainly acts as a deterrent.
In addition, a reporter from Zhongxin Finance and Economics found in the test that on the Weibo platform, some comments published on the 29th still had users who did not show the IP territorial small tail.
The relevant Weibo staff told Zhongxin Finance, "If the screen name and the real name of the ID card are different, the IP territory must be displayed; otherwise, it will not be displayed." (End)
