In recent years, wild scenic spots have become popular check-in places, and accidents occur frequently.

"No tickets", "small crowd" and "high film production rate" were once the labels of these wild scenic spots. These places are unmanaged or undeveloped, and their original appearance attracts waves of surrounding citizens to check in. where they go on vacation.

  According to a report by the Rule of Law Daily on January 17, a 5-year-old boy in Tonghua City, Jilin Province was playing with his family at a "wild ice rink" on a river. He accidentally fell into an ice hole and drowned, causing widespread concern in the society.

On August 13, 2022, a wild swimming accident occurred in Zhumadian, Henan Province. Parents took their baby to swim wild, but remained indifferent after being persuaded. The child drowned accidentally. Fortunately, the rescue team was nearby to rescue him in time.

  As early as 2019, 13 people were killed in a sudden and fatal flash flood in Enshi, Hubei, where Internet celebrities checked in. In the official report, it was mentioned many times that Dodging Gorge was an undeveloped scenic spot, and there was a relatively large security risk.

  Rise of niche attractions

  There are many check-in strategies on the network platform, some recommend it and others make complaints about it

  The Red Star News reporter found that there used to be a large number of travel guides and videos for "wild spots" on the Internet platform. Once an accident occurs, the charming niche may lead to an abyss.

How did such wild attractions develop on the Internet?

In the event of an accident, should the recommended Internet platform be held responsible?

  The reporter searched for relevant keywords on the Xiaohongshu App, and many wild scenic spots across the country were recommended by the Internet platform as "good places to go on weekends". .

Some wild scenic spots are near the big scenic spots, and some people trek through mountains and rivers to go deep into dangerous places to find wild scenic spots that few people go to.

  These wild scenic spots are usually not scenic spots, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. There are barbed wire and warning signs around them, but many tourists destroy the barbed wire.

Take the river course as an example. In some places, there are even iron gates blocking private cars from approaching the river course. Only construction vehicles can enter and exit.

However, some people still drove in with construction vehicles, or broke the barbed wire fence and entered the river.

The people who come here are mainly divided into three categories. One is pure tourists. After seeing the recommendations of netizens and Moments, they decided to find out out of curiosity and novelty.

Some of them took a family of three to enjoy leisure time by car, and some invited young friends to have a picnic and shoot "blockbuster movies".

They choose this place mostly because of the beautiful scenery and no tickets.

Some people also bluntly said that this is "a place where you can play for an afternoon without spending money".

  There is also a category of bloggers who recommend "good places to go on weekends". Considering the short itinerary, most of the places recommended by these bloggers are around their own locations, but the surrounding attractions are limited.

  In addition, there is another category that does not account for a large number of people, but can play an "eye-catching" role in Xiaohongshu. They are photography bloggers.

They come here mainly to take photos for models or customers. There are sandy beaches and reefs on the shore, and the river is blue in winter, creating a full sense of atmosphere.

In addition, they will share the best time, place and equipment and in-camera settings for taking pictures.

In the comment area of ​​one of the articles, someone asked for the same model, there were 10 messages asking for the price, and 26 likes.

  It is worth noting that unmanaged wild spots are accompanied by many problems.

There are also tourists who struggle to write hundreds of words not to recommend a place to visit, but to "complain".

On May 3, 2020, when a tourist in Shanxi visited a wild scenic spot with his family, he was about to return, but someone didn’t want to take away the garbage. The tourist condemned tourists who didn’t take away the garbage in the post.

In addition, some people in the comment area said, "When I went there in early April (2020), there were garbage everywhere", and some people raised the issue of random parking of private cars.

  Should the platform be held accountable?

  Expert: The platform can only review bottom-line, illegal content

  Wild spots with hidden dangers are recommended, should Internet celebrities and platforms be held accountable?

  Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, told the Red Star News reporter that there are two types of travel check-in places recommended by Internet celebrities, one is commercial recommendation, some places invite Internet celebrities to pay Internet celebrities, and some parties need to buy traffic , which are advertising in nature.

There are also some note-like sharing made by Internet celebrities. When it becomes popular, the traffic is very high, and people will naturally go to it.

From the point of view of legal liability, this kind of Internet celebrity recommendation does not need to bear responsibility unless it knows that the location is dangerous, or deliberately ignores some risks during the shooting process and causes netizens to misunderstand.

  Zhu Wei also said that it is unrealistic to expect the platform to pass the audit and control the risk to zero.

The platform can only review bottom-line content and content that violates laws and regulations.

In addition, a lot of content is "post-truth". Only when a problem is found, the platform has the obligation to review it. At this time, the content can be marked and removed from the shelf.

If people are still allowed to post relevant information, the platform that goes wrong is responsible.

  Wang Hui, a partner of Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, said in an interview with a CNR reporter that for tourist attractions that have not been commercially developed and have high risks, information publishers on social platforms have the obligation to warn of risks, and the platforms also have security obligations. Reminder and content review obligations, otherwise both parties will be liable for infringement, "However, in judicial practice, if the platform can promptly remove the corresponding information when it receives the relevant notice, it is generally considered that it has fulfilled its due obligations and will not order It bears the corresponding responsibility".
