烟台网警于昨晚公布了“德国留学生遭遇撒旦教造谣事件”的处理结果。

根据调查，曾在今年2月在网络上传播的我国在德国留学生受到“撒旦教”死亡威胁的事件被证实为虚假消息。

由于传谣炒作，烟台警方现已对涉案微博实际操作人张某等三人各处以1000元罚款，对北京某公司烟台办事处处以9000元罚款。除此之外，微博大号@北美吐槽君和其相关@大欧洲吐槽君、@土澳吐槽君等账号被责令限期整改。

Several Chinese social media accounts – followed largely by Chinese international students and notorious for trolling and click baiting – were recently fined and banned on Weibo and WeChat, two of China’s top social media sites, after spreading fake news stories that shook the international student community and the Chinese Embassy in Germany in February. The fabricated stories were about Chinese students in Germany receiving death threats from a cult.

德国留学生遭遇撒旦教造谣事件经过

2月初，@大欧洲吐槽君在未经审核的情况下发布了一则德国留学生求助投稿。

该投稿称，她是一名在德国杜塞留学的学生，某天晚上被人从公寓门缝里塞进来一张画有诡异图案的纸片，并且这之后经常有人半夜敲门，她感到非常害怕。

The latest drama dates back to February, when the North American and European accounts (@Beimeitucaojun and @Daouzhoutucaojun) reportedly posted a story contributed by Weibo user @Detplus, who claimed she was a Chinese student studying in Dusseldorf, Germany, and had received death threats from a so-called cult group named Satan.

Detailed and graphic images of the \”threats\” were posted by the user and later shared by the two accounts, and they rapidly incited fear among the international student communities.

该投稿一经发出就引起了网友关注。有网友辨认出图案与国外“撒旦教”的撒旦羊头形象十分相似，并且图案旁边的字样居然是希伯来语“无法逃脱”。不少网友感到恐慌，认为事主是被“撒旦教”作为祭品盯上了。

Her post reportedly gathered over 10,000 shares in less than four days.

几天后，@大欧洲吐槽君和同公司相关账号又发布了更加危言耸听的事件后续——

该名女生再次向@大欧洲吐槽君求助，称已从德国杜塞搬到法兰与闺蜜同住，却再次遇到穿着奇异的人在半夜现身。他们全身黑色连体衣服，身上挂着类似羊头的饰物。并再次留下一张纸片。纸片上画着撒旦教的象征性倒十字架，和象征着祭品的羊头图案，但祭品变成了两个。她还声称已经报警，警方却以只是恶作剧为由不予理会。

事件影响在后续爆出后进一步扩大，根据北京青年报的报道，在不到4天的时间内，转载超过10万次。恐怖情绪大范围蔓延，尤其是在留学圈中。新华国际曾报道在德国东部的德累斯顿工业大学，有女生因为此事不敢回自己寝室。

然而，事件在持续发酵的同时，质疑的声音也逐渐变大，不少人怀疑是营销号自导自演的炒作，求助帖漏洞百出。

比如：

纸片上希伯来语的书写方式不合规范；

德国治安良好，可疑人士不可能随意进出公寓而不引起邻居警觉；

杜塞和法兰相距甚远，多人远距离跟踪事主难度巨大。

而德国警方和中国使馆也从未接到过相关报案和求助。

事件在中国驻德国大使馆和德国警方快速介入后，很快便水落石出。该事件完全是一位微博账户为@Detplus的网友自编自导的恶作剧，而原因只是“一时起兴”。

而众多微博大号包括@大欧洲吐槽君，在未经核实真伪的情况下便对外传播。并且利用同公司的账号@北美吐槽君、@土澳吐槽君等转发炒作，造成了非常恶劣的社会影响。

The claim soon alarmed the German police and the Chinese Embassy, who issued safety warnings as they asked the user to report the case or send in tips to help them investigate.

However, days later, as attention reached a boiling point on social media, @Detplus broke her silence and admitted it was a prank made up and carried out entirely by herself.

And the two accounts, which reposted the story, apologized later as well. But the disproportionately negative impact the accounts made after spreading and blowing up false claims without fact checking has triggered public outcry among netizens, who condemned such actions from these accounts long ago.

@北美吐槽君，起初只是一个定位为“留学生树洞”的投稿账号。当留学生的生活中遇到一些意外状况时，就可以投稿给北美吐槽君，将故事分享在网上，作为一个树洞宣泄一下生活烦恼，或者向网友求助解决问题的办法。

The banned accounts, allegedly run by professional Chinese agencies that frequently use troll tactics to garner attention online, shared the same social media handle, \”Tucaojun,\” but used different locations, ranging from North America to Australia, to cater to Chinese international students in the local community.

根据网友评论，很多人最初关注@北美吐槽君时，是因为上边有很多真实、接地气，但又“意想不到”的奇葩事件，是非常良好的“厕所读物”。因为其粉丝也大多是留学生，经历相似，评论区有时还能看到非常实用的信息和反馈。

随后，随着一些帖子获得大量转发，@北美吐槽君粉丝数量开始暴增，并且又开设了@大欧洲吐槽君、@韩日吐槽君、@土澳吐槽君、@神奇的吐槽君等账号。截止@北美吐槽君被封时，该账号已经积累了超过565万粉丝。

然而，在账号爆火以后，内容就“渐渐走偏了”，留学生内容的比重下降，吸引眼球的炒作和家长里短却层出不穷。其同名的微信公众号已于8月3日停更，而最后一天的推送，已然看不出任何“留学生”的影子。

They quickly gained followers on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging site, after posting stories allegedly contributed by anonymous users said to reflect the experience, or be the voice, of Chinese students living outside of their home country.

However, the catch was that these posts were often overly sensationalized and drama-charged in a gruesome and eccentric style. Many users suspected they were intentionally manufactured just to get hits on social media.

对于@北美吐槽君被封，不少网友总结道，为了博眼球“传谣造谣，真是活该！”。还有网友总结了知乎上大家对@北美吐槽君的评价，表示就连一些老粉丝都看不下去。

Netizens have praised the move to ban the accounts on Weibo, as many said they deserve to be removed from the internet for continuously misleading users and employing unethical tactics to get hits.

One of the banned accounts, @Beimeitucaojun, almost reached 6 million followers on Weibo before it was taken off online.

也有人在叹息扼腕的同时，怀念曾经的网络净土。

更多的网友注意到，@北美吐槽君并非个例，而是网络环境的普遍现状。部分大V为了提升影响力，已然丧失了道德底线，利用造谣炒作和颠倒的三观博关注的操作蔚然成风。

在自媒体时代，越大的影响力越需要责任感。如果营销号为了一己私利，故意炒作搬弄是非、颠倒黑白，那么“剑走偏锋”的个人和团队，只能自食恶果。
