False information destroys the education ecology Representative Liu Xiya’s suggestions
Strict real-name authentication and increased accountability
□ Our reporter Zhao Chenxi
In the new media era, traffic logic has given rise to many education-related “self-media” entering online platforms.
An investigation by Liu Xiya, deputy to the National People's Congress and party secretary of Chongqing Xiejiawan School, found that some educational self-media deliberately exaggerated the sentiment of educational competition and increased educational anxiety by publishing some videos that lacked factual basis.
"The threshold for information release on self-media platforms is low, and the output content is mixed. Some educational self-media have no bottom line in pursuing traffic and publish content such as admission channels and school rankings that lack evidence, which can easily cause parents' educational anxiety and damage the education ecology." 2023 In July 2020, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China issued “13 new rules” and other specific governance measures to combat self-media chaos. However, Liu Xiya found that in the governance of educational self-media, there were still issues such as insufficient review of content published by accounts and insufficient review of self-media account registrations. Not a strict question.
Liu Xiya pointed out that in view of the current self-media chaos that creates educational anxiety, reporting and feedback, as important means of post-event supervision and problem solving, have not yet been fully effective.
In addition, the punishment for chaos in self-media mostly involves not granting profit-making authority, banning or blocking accounts within a certain period of time, etc., and does not hold the responsibility of the platform's inaction or the responsibility of the self-media account itself, making it difficult to form a strong deterrent.
In response to these problems, Liu Xiya emphasized the need to improve the audit system of self-media platforms and improve the effectiveness of audits.
She suggested that the Central Cyberspace Administration of China include content related to creating educational anxiety into the scope of review. We-media platforms should increase manual review and establish a "multi-subject review" model. The education administration department should also improve the supervision of education-related self-media that creates anxiety. focus on.
At the same time, the real-name identity authentication system must be strictly implemented, and relevant departments must urge their respective media platforms to strictly implement the regulations of "one person, one account" and "one enterprise, two accounts".
In terms of supervision, Liu Xiya suggested that network information departments at all levels and localities can cooperate with education departments, self-media platforms, etc. to establish feedback processing windows with dedicated personnel to respond and handle user reports in a timely manner.
It is also necessary to increase the cost of self-media violations. Once the cybersecurity and informatization departments at all levels and localities discover that the platform has low standards for reviewing entities that publish educational information, and lax content review, they must increase their efforts to hold the platform entities accountable.
For self-media accounts that publish bad information, after verification, the cost of violation must be increased, the account registrant or operator shall be punished, and their legal liability shall be investigated.
