"Friends, expand the list?" This is a common line-up for online dating after 00 today.
As a friend-making function of QQ, the so-called expansion is the "expanded list of friends", and strangers can be "Q friends" by expanding the list.
In reality, some people have made friends through the expansion of the column, but some people have been "split" because of the expansion.
Xiaolan, a 13-year-old girl from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, has divorced her parents since she was a child and lacks family care. She lives with her grandmother all the year round.
In the first year of junior high school, she met 17-year-old Xiaoliang through "expansion". The similar family, the same personality, and similar hobbies made the two quickly turn into QQ friends, and soon fell in love.
After graduating from junior high school, Xiao Liang worked in the hotel chain of his uncle's house.
The two who first tasted the sweetness of love often took advantage of the convenience of Xiaoliang's work place to secretly open houses.
When they were full of affection, the two took a group of couple portraits. Xiaolan blocked her parents from sending one of them to the circle of friends, but she was still discovered by her father.
Knowing that the two had stolen the forbidden fruit, Xiaolan's father immediately called the police and resolutely demanded that Xiaoliang be held criminally responsible. In the end, Xiaoliang was sentenced on suspicion of rape, and Xiaolan completely broke contact with his father.
Some people meet love, while others meet nightmare.
The 12-year-old Xiaona's online name is "Fanhua". When she expanded her list, she met a girl named "Ye Zi", and the two soon became friends on QQ.
Unexpectedly, "Leaf" asked Xiaona to "look at each other" on the grounds that they were both girls, and tricked Xiaona into taking a topless nude photo and passing it to "her", and introduced a male friend he knew to Xiaona.
Before long, the male friend asked to "see each other."
Although Xiaona was reluctant, after the other party sent her own photo, she also sent her private photo in return.
After going back and forth, the two confirmed their relationship.
In subsequent interactions, the man kept asking Xiaona to send photos and videos of her private parts, and from time to time he sent obscene video clips asking her to imitate the indecent female actions in the video. If Xiaona did not agree, she would send her The nude photos of Zhang were exposed on the Internet until the man borrowed money from her for the same reason, and Xiaona was discovered by her mother while using her mother’s mobile phone to transfer money.
After investigation, it turns out that the boyfriend's name is Xiaochen, 17 years old.
His father died in 2007 and his mother ran away from home. With the help of relatives, he attended a technical school in his hometown.
While staying at school, Xiaochen used the QQ expansion function to meet many friends, and also learned the "look at each other" routine, so she played two roles and approached Xiaona under the name of "leaf", knowing that Xiaona was a young girl. Under the circumstances, she repeatedly asked for photos and videos of private parts to watch, and used verbal threats to ask Xiaona to shoot indecent videos.
In the end, the procuratorate filed a prosecution for alleged child molestation, and Xiaochen was sentenced for this.
Since 2019, the procuratorate of Huqiu District, Suzhou City has handled many criminal cases caused by adding friends due to the expansion of the list. The parties involved are mostly minors. The average age of the defendants is 16 years old. The phenomenon of the younger age of the victims has become more prominent. The expanded list of friends makes them inadvertently "expanded" in their youth.
According to Zhu Xiaodan, the prosecutor of the Xiaolan case, most of the minors involved in these cases are divorced families, lacking the correct guidance of the family and the company of their parents. The lack of realistic communication makes them more likely to indulge in anonymous and hidden networks. .
This expanded function of breaking through restrictions and flaunting themselves satisfies their adolescent psychological needs of eager communication, eager attention, eagerness, and wanton rebellion.
A reporter from the Rule of Law Daily searched for the term "expansion column" on QQ and revealed nearly 40 social, tool, and online service categories such as "expansion party", "drifting bottle expansion cp", and "match expansion and dating". Platform, the top social platform shows that 6.83 million people have played it.
The reporter learned during the interview that now, more post-00s prefer to use "extended column" to add friends madly. Post-00s in the QQ group are taking selfies and voice messages every day to attract more friends to add themselves.
Some are for chatting, some are for making friends, and some are just for "saving face". Behind the expansion are various psychological needs.
Zhu Xiaodan reminded that the Internet is not a place outside the law, and the expansion and heartbeat of the virtual world will eventually take root in reality.
To create a clear and bright online dating space, you need to keep your eyes open and stay rational.
Parents should attach importance to the company of their children, strengthen the guidance of minors' online dating, and help them learn to distinguish and resist the influence of bad information on the Internet during their use of the Internet.
Schools should strengthen contact with parents, and promptly notify parents of new situations in the student group that are worthy of parents' vigilance, so that parents should pay attention to their children's adolescence education, and normalize parents to carry out family education and guidance.
Network service providers should strengthen communication with judicial authorities, collect and analyze clues that criminals use network platform supervision loopholes to commit crimes, fill loopholes in a timely manner, and strengthen the supervision and shielding of malicious information on the Internet.
