  Provide warnings to Internet users, especially minors and the elderly, enhance their ability to prevent fraud, guide people to continuously improve their scientific literacy, and establish a correct concept of struggle and happiness

  "9.9 yuan to measure fortune, 19.9 yuan to measure feelings, and 199 yuan to change luck."

Nowadays, various fortune-telling advertisements such as Tarot card divination, astrolabe analysis, AI cloud fortune-telling, etc. are common on the network platform, using words to "routine" users to induce consumption.

Not only that, some merchants and individuals, in order to gain personal gain, even carefully design packaging traps, and even resort to fraud and other methods to induce users to fall into it step by step and pay money.

Similar behaviors, using online platforms to sell anxiety and promote superstitious ideas, are suspected of making huge profits by fraud, and there is the risk of personal information leakage. The harm should not be underestimated.

If it is allowed to grow in the dark, it will inevitably destroy the network ecology, pollute the social atmosphere, affect the physical and mental health of people, especially young people, and it is not conducive to the cultivation of scientific and rational spirit in the whole society.

  The trick of divination is neither clever nor new. Why can many people be deceived?

Why do some young people sneer at traditional fortune telling, but talk about online fortune telling?

When fortune-telling moves from offline to online, the dazzling marketing methods and cryptic tactics make it easy for people to fall into the trap without knowing it.

Each "master" is well versed in Internet technology and social media operations, and through careful packaging of themselves, they want to sell their own transportation routines.

At the same time, they have grasped the inner needs of some people seeking comfort, and made use of people's self-seeking psychology: the feeling is "accurate", it is probably only psychological hints at work; people often ignore the parts that are inaccurate.

  Network divination is not sophisticated, and it is mostly "business experience" behind it.

According to media surveys, many "masters" who claim to be "psychic" have no way of verifying their true identities and resumes.

Although divination is almost a cost-free business, the fees are not hesitating, ranging from a few yuan to tens of thousands.

For a period of time, the police in many places have exposed the illegal activities of online fraud under the guise of divination, and some frauds amounted to tens of millions of yuan.

It should be soberly realized that online fortune-telling is nothing but a superstition scam under the cloak of science.

To deal with the problem of network divination, we must take multiple measures and work for a long time.

  Cutting off the gray industrial chain behind network divination is a systematic project.

According to the "Internet Information Service Management Measures" and other regulations, propagating feudal superstition is a violation of regulations.

If the purpose is to obtain money by deception and infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others, it is suspected of a crime.

The supervisory department shall resolutely investigate and punish the suspected network fraud divination traps, and pursue the legal liabilities of the persons responsible in accordance with the law.

Relevant network platforms must earnestly fulfill their responsibilities and do not give opportunities for illegal network divination activities.

"Seeing in the unseen, knowing in the unsent", the management of network divination problems should also pay attention to preventing problems before they occur, and provide warnings and reminders to network users, especially minors and the elderly, to enhance their anti-fraud and anti-fraud Ability to guide people to continuously improve their scientific literacy and establish a correct concept of struggle and happiness.

  Everyone's happiness is in his own hands, not in the mouths of others.

A good life cannot be relied on fortune-telling, it must be created through struggle.

Firm belief, conviction, and confidence, water the harvest with sweat, and move forward with hard work, can we hold the key to the future and write a more fulfilling and wonderful life.
