According to the WeChat official account of 'Zhumadian Internet Office' in Henan, recently, an account named 'Searching for the Next Stop of Happiness' and 'Chen Ge's Medicine Diet Meats (Entrepreneurial Records)' posted information claiming that a tragic incident of five people being killed occurred in Xiping County. This caused attention and heated discussions among netizens, resulting in negative social impacts.
On August 2nd, Xiping County released a ‘Notice on the Criminal Case in Xiping County on July 30th’, stating that on July 30th, a criminal case occurred in Baicheng Street of Xiping County, resulting in one person’s death. The online rumor about a ‘mass murder case involving five people’ is not true.
The Internet and Information Technology Department would like to remind all netizens: The internet is not a lawless place. Spreading rumors and misinformation on the internet requires taking corresponding legal responsibilities. It is hoped that all netizens will strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations, regulate their online behavior, consciously resist online rumors, and jointly maintain a clean and orderly online space.
