The hidden mystery in the comment area of popular content
Layers of vests point to yellow websites
Recently, CCTV12's "Frontline" column aired 3 episodes of the feature film "Crackdown on pornography and illegality" in action.
The first episode revealed how some criminals used social media comment areas to attract netizens to pay to watch videos on the website in order to promote pornographic websites.
Relevant criminal acts are characterized by specialization and professionalization, from design to operation and maintenance, from promotion to money laundering, with clear division of labor and strong concealment.
In the feature film, the police handling the case disclosed that in order to increase the number of pornographic websites and attract users to pay to watch pornographic content, website promoters have taken a different approach and aimed at the comment area of popular content on social media.

Many unscrupulous promoters gathered in the popular section, especially selected popular blog posts in the "beauty" section to comment, and the comment content was filled with a large number of icons, which was very eye-catching.
Subsequently, the promoter continued to add comments to the comment (commonly known as "insert building" in the industry), and used provocative nicknames to attract users to click on the account homepage.

Different accounts are nested layer by layer, and layers of vests are escorted. The ultimate goal is to introduce users into the quagmire of the yellow net and let users pay for pornographic content.
The above accounts are all from a unified "supplier" - Luo Moufeng.
Build a website, sell accounts, recruit agents
Complete industrial chain of sales and dissemination of pornographic content
In this case, the suspect Luo Moufeng initially provided some regular self-media accounts with related services such as drainage and promotion, and his income was acceptable.
At work, he gradually came into contact with illegally stealing other people's social media accounts and reselling them.
After discovering that selling accounts made more money, Luo Moufeng shifted the focus of his work here.
In the process, he gradually discovered that almost all the accounts sold were used as agency promotion services for pornographic websites.
As a result, Luo Moufeng thought of a new way to make money—finding someone to build his own pornographic website, and developing users who had previously purchased accounts into agents who promoted and diverted traffic to the website for him.

Through the background of the website, Luo Moufeng and others can clearly grasp the promotion data of all agents and the payment amount of netizens watching the website video.
And these data are also the basis for them to distribute high benefits with their agents.
The website made a profit of three or four million in half a year
According to the police, in just half a year, the website has obtained nearly three or four million funds through the dissemination of obscene materials.

At the same time, the police also found that the above-mentioned suspects have something in common-no legitimate occupation and like to play computer games.
At first, they just watched pornographic videos through the website themselves, but later found that the agent of the website can easily make money by simply playing with their mobile phones and posting Weibo.
In the face of huge profits, they tried their own way and went further and further on the evil road of spreading obscene materials.
And this is just a microcosm of the special campaign to clean up the Internet.
In the "cleaning net" campaign carried out by the "anti-pornography and illegal" departments across the country from June to October 2021, it will focus on cleaning up harmful information on the Internet in five fields, including online live broadcasts, online games, online literature, online social networking, and pop-up advertisements. , a total of more than 110,000 illegal websites were banned and closed.
According to Gao Qingyun, Deputy Director of the Office of the National “Crackdown on Pornography” Working Group, the “Cleaning the Net 2021” special campaign has achieved remarkable results in cracking down on harmful information and inappropriate content on the Internet. There are more than 19 million harmful and bad messages that go against the core socialist values.
