You can buy all kinds of information of famous artists for a few dollars
"Privacy WeChat" allows artist information to "streak" online
Entertainer Yu Shuxin complained online that his friends circle content was sold. This news once again refreshed the standard of artist information being sold.
A survey conducted by a reporter from the China Youth Daily and China Youth Network found that "WeChat", which sells all kinds of information of well-known artists, is active on social networks. The artist's flight information, notices, and hotel information are all available. A more private ID number, mobile phone number, WeChat is also available, and includes almost all famous artists. It only took 20 minutes for the reporter to buy the ID number, address, father's name and other information of a popular male artist at a micro-business at a price of 50 yuan. Other flight information was also included.
How much does a message cost? The prices are staggeringly cheap. The most common flight information and hotel information are generally below 10 yuan, which means that fans can pick up the airport and block the hotel according to the information, and see the idols.
A fan who bought flight information and picked up the plane said: "Buying flight information to pick up the plane is the easiest opportunity to see idols up close, so many people buy it."
5 yuan to get the flight arrival time
For fans, it is an instinct to want to know everything about idols.
The post-95 students are hooked on an artist and often express their love for idols on Weibo. A Weibo user sent her a private letter stating that she sold the artist's flight information, and left a WeChat.
This person's Weibo is very simple, most of them are "artist's name + flight icon + destination", but they are posted frequently. Out of curiosity, Xiaozai added his WeChat and found that his friend circle is updating the artist’s flight information every day, and it takes only 5 yuan to get the flight specific arrival time.
Fans and friends of Xiaozai often talk about the pick-up experience, and many people recommend to her the WeChat that once purchased the information. Unconsciously, Xiaozai added a dozen "privacy micro-business". They publish the star flight information in the circle of friends every day and see that there are flights landing in Shanghai, which makes the small person in Shanghai feel that it is easy to see idols.
Once, when the idol encountered a discomfort, Xiaozai had the urge to pick up the machine. She bought flight information for 10 yuan from a micro-business that had long been observed as "reliable" and met idols at the airport as expected.
"I just want to see what he looks like offline, and the price is too cheap, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled." Xiao Zai said, as long as you are willing to spend money, everything for artists can be bought.
Xiao Shi, who is also picking up the phone, actively searched for the artist "Privacy Wechat" on Weibo. She searched for the idol's name on Weibo, and it was natural to see that Weibo users updated their idol itinerary. After adding WeChat, She buys idol flight information many times, and the price of each information is not more than 10 yuan.
"This is an opportunity to see idols at close range at the lowest cost." Xiaoshi compared the price of concert tickets with several hundred yuan. Especially during the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, most of the performances were suspended. In addition to looking at the photos taken by others, there was no way to see the status of idols.
Buying information to chase the stars is not new to many fans and is easy. The reporters easily found Weishang who sells artist information on Weibo and Xianyu. Their circle of friends is similar. Most of them are selling artist's flight information, advertisements for announcements, and some event admission opportunities.
When a reporter asked if a "privacy micro-business" had an artist's ID number, the other party said yes and gave a price of 50 yuan. After the transfer of 50 yuan, the reporter got the ID number, former name, household registration address, parent name and other information of the popular artist. The entire transaction process took less than 20 minutes.
The other party also said: "I give you flight information, which star you want to tell me."
The price is three to six, nine, etc., can be a monthly contract can also be an agent
For "privacy micro-business", it is most important to find customers.
Usually, they post information on social networks such as Weibo, Xianyu, Tieba, or send fans a private message directly through Weibo search. After they become friends with WeChat, they publish advertisements in the circle of friends and eventually trade in WeChat.
This information is often replaced by abbreviations on social networks, for example, "sfz=identity card", "hb=flight", or directly marked "travel, announcement", etc., to facilitate others to search.
The price of information is also divided into three, six, nine, etc. Among them, the price of flight information is the cheapest, most of which is less than 10 yuan; the price of the notice is second, the price is around tens of yuan; the information related to privacy, such as ID cards and admission tickets, is the most expensive and the price At around one hundred yuan.
Some WeChat merchants have also launched expensive "information monthly" services. Xiaozai revealed that she had seen a Wechat merchant with a quote of 5000 yuan for a "monthly" all famous artist flights and notices. The main target was the "station sister" who took photos of the artist on the spot and sold photos to fans to earn more money.
Like other WeChat merchants, "Privacy WeChat Merchants" sell themselves while developing "agents"-spend about one hundred yuan to become an "Agent", you can get information for a long time to sell to others, and become the next "Privacy WeChat Merchant" ".
How did this information come from? Almost everyone flashed their tongues, and they were arrogant. Some people said "I have channels", and some people said "I checked it myself."
A survey article in the Beijing Business Daily showed that a person who sold information said that his hotel, dormitory and other information were obtained from the company; he knew the inside of the company to which the star belongs or who was in the crew all the year round. You can directly learn about the star's development from insiders.
In addition, the staff of airlines, hotels and other places is also one of the sources of leaking star information. In January of this year, someone said on the Internet that an employee of a suspected airline repeatedly posted star passenger information on Weibo, involving many artists such as Han Hong, Ni Ni, Zhang Jie, Zhou Bichang, and Deng Lun. Subsequently, the Weibo user was verified as a flight attendant, and was grounded.
Artist's information "streaking" on the Internet
Open the "Privacy WeChat" circle of friends, popular stars, rookie artists, popular variety shows, film and television dramas that are being filmed... All kinds of information are available, and the following is directly marked: "Need privacy".
This means that the information of these crews and artists is "streaking" on the Internet.
An agent of a well-known entertainment company told reporters that hot artists will face the issue of privacy leakage, "especially traffic artists and talents are more prone to this problem, such as flights, private itineraries, circle of friends, etc."
However, in the hearts of every fan, there are different definitions of artist privacy.
In Xiaoshi’s eyes, the stars have different privacy rights in different areas of the airport. The corridor is private and will not be taken by themselves. The photos taken by others will not be spread, but the pick-up hall is a public place. She thinks There is nothing wrong with waiting to see a star there.
However, Xiaoshi also admitted that he belongs to a more ethical fan and will not disturb the idol’s life and schedule, but if it is an "illegal meal" (a fan who violates the star’s private life and work) or a criminal has the artist’s information, " I don't know what will happen."
Many people also believe that fan pick-ups and visits also increase the popularity of artists. Some artists even deliberately release information to expect fans to pick up. The artist's professional decision will let some privacy go.
Undoubtedly, privacy leaks have affected the lives of many artists. Artist Hu Ge reluctantly mentioned in an interview show that during the crew, many unknown people added their own friends, and believed that their contact information was leaked because they were harassed and had to turn on the mobile phone flight mode.
Similarly, privacy leaks will bring greater hidden dangers. For example, after fans got the flight information of the artist, they picked up at the airport, arrived at the exit, check-in counter, boarding gate, pick-up gate, even had fans on the flight, and some fanatics poured into the artist from economy class. The situation of the first-class cabin where you are seeking signatures, group photos, and photos. This brought chaos to the order at the scene, aroused the dislike of others, and caused potential safety hazards.
Last year, the glass of the pedestrian escalator in the terminal building of Shanghai Hongqiao Airport was crushed by the pick-up fans. It was because many stars arrived at the airport that night, and fans who learned the information gathered at the airport.
In 2018, the Civil Aviation Administration issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Fan Pick-up and Follow-up Phenomenon". The notice mentions three points: 1. Prevent leakage of well-known passenger information; 2. Strengthen the order of the airport to avoid a large number of fans; 3. Eliminate Disrupting order behavior on the fans. In order to remind the fans to chase the stars rationally. But to this day, it is still prohibited.
"This phenomenon is mainly due to the current fandom culture, including the existence of'illegal meals'." The aforementioned brokers are also helpless. Basically, the flight information of the artists can't be leaked. Many yellow cattle will sell this kind of phenomenon. Information to fans, because fans have requests for airport pick-up, drop-off, and even follow-up. The private itineraries of well-known artists are generally easy to be tracked by "illegal meals".
"But no star or team will encourage this kind of behavior, and can only accept it with frustration. The problem of'illegal meal' is basically the plight of all traffic artists. If'illegal meal' has a demand, the scalper naturally has a market. "The agent said.
Is the message sent by the artist in the "friends circle" privacy?
Yu Shuxin said helplessly after learning that the circle of friends had been leaked: "Can I not even have the last little world?" This news caused concern. Is the information that the artist sent in his circle of friends belong to privacy?
The newly adopted Civil Code has a clear definition of privacy: Article 1032 stipulates that natural persons enjoy the right to privacy. No organization or individual may infringe on the privacy rights of others by means of spying, intrusion, disclosure, disclosure, etc. Privacy is the tranquility of the private life of natural persons and private spaces, private activities, and private information that are unwilling to be known to others.
But whether the circle of friends is "privacy" is still controversial. Xiong Dingzhong, a lawyer from Beijing Qinglu Law Firm, said that the sale and disclosure of flight information must be illegal, but the content of the "Friends Circle" is not necessarily privacy, but may involve privacy.
Xiong Dingzhong explained: "If you express some illegal content in the circle of friends, the public security organ thinks that you are posting on a public platform and will investigate and punish, but in the traditional civil law theory, it is also believed that the circle of friends is a specific object and should not be Counting as a public place still requires specific analysis."
It is worth noting that domestic legislation is being passed to strengthen the protection of personal privacy. The information disclosed at the two sessions this year is that the enactment of the Personal Information Protection Law and the Data Security Law has been incorporated into the NPC’s next legislative work plan.
Xiong Dingzhong believes that the dilemma lies in the fact that there are many business models and businesses that need to be built on the premise of providing personal information. Then its custody and commercialization are indeed a more difficult field to monitor, which individual citizens can do. Things are actually very limited.
