Regardless of whether they are public comments and accusations against ordinary people or public figures, which ones are within the scope of freedom of speech and which ones transcend moral and legal boundaries, they must not be confused.
Recently, some netizens revealed that the private life of Tu, a well-known host, was chaotic, sparking heated discussions. Well-known host Tu Lei later responded in a video saying that he had reported the crime and showed the receipt of the crime. He said that he must go to court with the other party and sue to the end. On May 20, the netizen "Sauer Cai Bang Bang" who exposed the chaos in Tu Lei's private life issued a video apology saying: The whole incident was purely a mistake and was just celebrity gossip that he and his friends chatted about privately, and there was no "real evidence." I am willing to remove the video from the entire network to eliminate the negative impact, "publicly apologize", and actively negotiate for civil compensation.
According to media inquiries from the Hangzhou West Lake Police Department, the police stated that a report has been received and further investigation is under way. In other words, the legal truth of this accusation still needs to be revealed by the police. However, the fact that the accuser took the lead in publicly admitting his mistake and apologizing may be enough to say too much.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Tu Lei has been involved in a similar controversy. In July last year, a woman publicly reported that she had been sexually assaulted by Tu Lei. Later, police investigation revealed that the informant Tan had never met Tu in her life. After preliminary medical diagnosis, Tan was in a state of hallucination and delusion, and it was not found that she was instigated by anyone.
Whether the complete truth of this incident is really as shown in the apology of the whistleblower, it may not be possible to draw a 100% conclusion yet. But if this kind of thing happens to a person again and again, we should also be wary of another voice, that is, simply regard it as "people are popular and there are many right and wrong". In particular, some of Tu Lei's speeches in the emotional talk shows he hosts often cause controversy, and his image in the public opinion field is inherently complicated. So similar accusations appear again and again, even after the police "refute the rumors" and the accusers admit their mistakes, will it be because these accusations simply cater to some people's controversies about Tu Lei, resulting in the phenomenon of "no fly can bite"? We must also be wary of statements such as "egg" to justify false accusations. The reason why
points this out is that the whole society should have a clear consensus that publicly targeting specific people with accusations of rape, chaotic private lives, etc. in the field of public opinion is no longer just a moral evaluation, but a serious legal act that must be dealt with. Responsible for authenticity. Tu Lei chose to call the police after the two incidents occurred. This was a positive move to protect his rights and the most powerful response. This time, the accuser took the initiative to apologize. Whether Tu Lei forgives, and how to deal with it at the legal level, everyone actually hopes to see a follow-up. It is related to the truth, and it will also help more people understand the "measures" and "measures" of Zang Feng as a public figure. Boundaries are better understood.
In fact, in the current online public opinion field, not only celebrities, but also various public accusations and "essays" are actually very common. They are true or false, false or true, and often have complex motives - some are just hearsay, some are deliberately spreading rumors to stigmatize others, and some are to gain traffic and attention, so it is even more necessary to make it clear through boundaries to prevent all kinds of irresponsible accusations that harm the rights and interests of others from getting out of control and spreading. The rights protection actions taken by celebrities in the face of such problems and the police's handling of them have a positive social warning significance.
In short, in the public opinion square, , whether it is public comments and accusations against ordinary people or public figures, which ones are within the scope of freedom of speech and which ones have crossed the moral and legal boundaries, must not be confused with . At the same time, in the real context of various accusations flying all over the sky, this incident once again reminds all "melon eaters" that it is necessary to have more truth-seeking awareness and discernment ability when it comes to various "little essays" and "gossip". Before the truth becomes clear, restraining the urge to follow trends, comment and repost should become a basic personal Internet literacy.
