Rant:
1. Just tell me which website isn’t vulgar, will you…
2. Any site that can make it onto this list is a great website!
3. Ycool is listed only in the seventh batch; looks like its influence is still rather weak.
4. For decades, the mindset of “rectification campaigns” has still refused to die.
5. Governance requires guidance and channeling, not sealing things off.
6. A “ban” must be carried out in the name of law, not in the name of morality. Even if you hypocritically hold high the banner of law, that would be preferable; but in the name of morality, while hardly speaking of legal principles at all, to behave so wildly—tell me, who among you is the law?
7. It is said that “the head of the China Internet Association stated that, in the next step, the industry will be organized to research and formulate standards for determining online vulgar content, cooperate with relevant departments in drafting departmental regulations, release norms concerning website administration, and add requirements in the association’s already issued self-discipline conventions for member units to consciously resist online vulgar information.” — In other words, we all know there are no standards or norms to rely on, yet we can actually sweep everything up first without the slightest blush, thinking we have done something immensely pleasing to the public; in fact, it is still the bandit logic of “I am the law,” or the childish mindset of “I am the ally of justice,” clearly poisoned by those Chinese children’s books that are “healthy and uplifting.”
8. Most terrifying of all is that, precisely in a situation where the legal norms are ambiguous and unclear, a joint action by “seven ministries and commissions” can nevertheless be launched without the slightest resistance, and can mobilize the entire official and civil sphere. This shows that the “plague goose” really has not yet ended.
