Why did Li make up Internet rumors about a car accident?
When the Weinan police analyzed the rumored video on the Internet, they found that the so-called "car accident" video fabricated by Li was edited into at least 6 scenes from different locations, including car accidents on the highway, car accidents on the national highway, and even A picture of a suspected virtual vehicle falling from a viaduct.

When seeing suspicious information on social media and the Internet, we can verify it first or wait for official announcements. Make a judgment later. The Internet is not a lawless place, so be cautious in everything you say and do.
Because the public pays great attention to topics such as life safety, car accidents, especially content such as "major car accidents", can easily attract attention. Internet blogger Li took advantage of this to fabricate rumors and spread them. This kind of behavior for personal gain without any regard for the negative social impact will eventually be severely punished by law.
Restore the routine of online blogger Li for spreading rumors
Reporter analysis found that the routine of online blogger Li for spreading rumors can be roughly divided into the following steps:
First select the eye-catching content of "major car accident" as the theme; download several sections of traffic Videos of the accident were edited and spliced together, and then misleading text was fabricated out of thin air. Details such as specific locations and numbers were added to make the rumored video look more credible. Traffic safety tips and other appeals were added to the rumored video. , thereby pretending to care about public safety and increasing the confusion of rumors. When publishing rumors, the rumor makers deliberately avoid fact-checking and even deliberately create a vague concept of time in an attempt to evade responsibility.
