【禁聞】管制新行動?官媒討伐“網路水軍”

【新唐人2011年2月8日訊】浙江樂清“錢雲會案”是“交通事故”還是“蓄意謀殺”? 成為網路關注的焦點,各種質疑和“陰謀論”持續不斷。中共官方媒體新華社,將錢雲會之死引發的網路民意,歸咎於「網路水軍」製造謠言,而觀察人士認為官媒集體討伐“網路水軍”,是新一輪網路管制行動的先發陣容。

浙江樂清錢雲會之死被官方定性為交通肇事案,但一直無法說服民眾,網上許多輿論仍然認為這是一起謀殺案。官方媒體新華社2月5號發表文章《警惕網路推手誤導網上輿論》,把責任推給了“網路水軍”。

“網路水軍”近期成為《人民日報》、《光明日報》等中共黨報口誅筆伐的對像。“網路水軍”被官方形容成:受人僱用在互聯網上集體炒作話題或人物,以達到宣傳、推銷或攻擊目地的人群。

中國律師觀察網主編趙國君對“水軍”這個概念提出質疑:“這個概念首先就是一個對立的概念。公民和網民是水軍,是在推動。那我們這個官方和掌握權力的人,赤裸裸的宣稱我們要佔領陣地,要弘揚主旋律,那不是公然的水軍嗎?”

中國網民據估計超過4.5億,其中手機網民超過3億。由於互聯網和網路新興媒體的迅速發展,近期許多官民衝突都通過互聯網迅速的傳遍國內外,對官方控制言論基調帶來了前所未有的壓力。

官媒集體討伐“網路水軍”,觀察人士認為是新一輪網路管制行動的先發陣容。

黃良天(原《百姓》雜誌主編):“為進一步壓制網路言論可能提供一些輿論元素吧。這是當局的一貫作風。但是它把網路的力量看的太簡單了。他起不到這個作用。因為我們現實言論它沒有很大自由度,那麼網路給我們廣大的公民提供了這樣一個輿論空間,這是一個好事,這也是歷史的進步。這是任何人也壓制不了的,也阻擋不了的。”

《南都網》的網友留言說:“現在的政府不值得信任,地球人都知道”;“寧信其有 也不信政府”;“不相信ZF(政府)是每個公民應有的權利!”

也有觀點認為,官方管制網絡的主要目地在於控制敏感的政治言論,趙國君表示,網路言論之所以對社會事件能起到擴大效應,恰恰因為目前的環境不正常。為甚麼人們選擇相信網路言論,而不是政府,這是問題的關鍵。

Whether the Qian Yunhui Case is a “traffic accident” or “murder” has become an online focus, with all kinds of questions and “conspiracy theories.”

China』s official Xinhua News Agency blamed the online public opinions sparked by Qian』s death on rumors fabricated by the “online marine.” Analysts believe, this is indicative of the onset of a new round of Internet censorship.

The death of Qian Yunhui in Yueqing, Zhejiang, is officially declared as a case of traffic accident.However, the public are not convinced.The online public opinions consider it a murder.On Feb. 5, Xinhua News published an article

“Beware of Internet marketers』 Misleading Opinions,” accusing the “Online marine” of stirring up trouble.

“Online marine” became the target of the official media attacks. It is described by the authorities as those that are hired to speculate a topic or a figure for propaganda, marketing or offensive purposes.

Zhao Guojun, editor-in-chief of Chinese Lawyers Observation Network questioned the concept “marine”: This is a concept of opposition.If citizens and netizens are the inciting marine, aren』t authorities that hold power and accuse us of

occupying the Internet more like “marine”?

There are estimated 450 million Chinese netizens,among them, over 300 million mobile users.Many recent unrests in China were spread both domestically and abroad via the Internet and emerging online new media, which unprecedentedly defies the official censorship on speech and the Internet.

Analysts believe, the official media』s attack on “online marine” is the start of a new round of censorship.

Huang Tianliang, ex-editor-in-chief of Baixing magazine: The authorities did some propaganda before enhancing the online censorship, but they underestimated the power of the Internet. It provides us citizens with a press space.

This is a good thing. It is also the history』s advancement. Nobody can suppress and block this.

Some web post said: “The current government in China is untrustworthy.This is known to everybody on this planet.”“I would rather believe (it is a murder) than what the government says.” “Not trusting the government is every citizen』s right!”

Some others believe, the main purpose of online censorship is to control sensitive political speeches.Zhao Guojun said, online remarks have the power

to propagate issues. It indicates the abnormality of the environment.Why do people choose to believe in online opinions, not in the government? That』s the critical issue.
