Guangzhou Metro Suffered Terrorist Attacks? Rumors! It is reported that on the afternoon of October 12, someone said on the Internet that "the Pearl River New Town of Guangzhou Metro Line 3 was attacked by terrorist attacks, which caused many casualties at the moment of explosion". For a moment, people were panicked. The follow-up news is that this matter is a rumor out of thin air. The police quickly arrested the suspect Tan and detained him in accordance with the law. After the news of Tan being detained by torture spread, netizens rushed to spread rumors and praised him, saying, "I'll see the punishment!" I don't know which one of Tan's connections was wrong, but he actually made this rumor. As a 23-year-old adult, Tan could not have been unaware of the consequences of fabricating this rumor, nor could he have been unaware of the harm it would bring. When interrogated, Tan claimed that the purpose of spreading rumors was "to show off his ability to generate specific pages through computer programming technology". If this statement is true, then this mentality is extremely childish and this approach is extremely clumsy. Having a flaunting mentality is not scary, but the premise is that one cannot flaunt oneself in a criminal or illegal manner. It is indeed unimaginable to spread rumors about terrorist attacks in order to show off the so-called "ability to generate specific pages through computer programming technology". Looking back at the event, a complete 'logical' chain was discovered. First, Tan spread rumors, then netizens followed and sought help from law enforcement agencies. Then, the Guangzhou Metro refuted the rumor that "everything is normal at the the Pearl River New City subway station", and the police also said that they are tracking down the rumor mongers. With the voice of authoritative departments, netizens feel at ease and wait for the rumormongers to be arrested. Finally, Tan was caught and netizens applauded. This matter provides many insights. Firstly, in the era of the internet, the cost of spreading rumors is low, the speed of dissemination is fast, and the consequences are serious. Rumors should not show off their cleverness, and they should try their best to reap the consequences. Secondly, rumors stop at the wise and also at the timely voice of authoritative departments. The more timely the voice is spoken, the more effective it becomes. Thirdly, rumors stop at those who govern. The police quickly took action and caught the rumormonger in a short period of time, which had a deterrent effect. It is worth mentioning that there was another similar event yesterday. A screenshot shows: "Sudden: The People's Liberation Army of China shot down a US patrol aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait. The news spread and also attracted a crowd of "melon eating people" to watch, which proved to be false news. Regarding this, @ Jun Zhengping Weibo refuted the rumor and said: Do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors! Where did the rumor come from? Whether it's fabricating "Guangzhou Metro was attacked by terrorism" or fabricating "The People's Liberation Army shot down US patrol planes", it's not a good thing and it's worth being vigilant. At present, the unstable, uncertain, and insecure factors in the international situation are becoming increasingly prominent. People cherish a peaceful and stable development environment extremely. In this situation, creating rumors of terrorist attacks and falsely claiming that the People's Liberation Army has shot down American patrol planes are disturbing people's hearts. Therefore, compared to ordinary rumors, such rumors are more harmful and cause more intense fluctuations in people's minds, so it is even more important to not let the rumor makers go. At the same time, it is also necessary to delve into the multiple factors that contribute to the emergence of such rumors. What is the purpose for which rumormongers create such rumors? If it's just a show off mentality that's not the most worrying, but if there's a hidden purpose, it's truly terrifying. Furthermore, it is important to delve deeper into how these two rumors emerged and on which platform did they first appear? The relevant screenshots currently circulating on the internet,
