On November 20, the chairman of nongfu spring, Zhong Shanshan, gave a speech in Xinfeng, jiangxi, titled "Only melons connected by one vine can resonate with farmers in frequency".

Nongfu Spring and Zhong Shanshan encountered 'online violence' in the first half of the year, falling into the center of public opinion whirlpool.

In response, Zhong Shanshan bluntly said, 'I ask for the fair power of the media to jointly defend the civilized values of online public opinion.'

He emphasized that internet civilization is equally important as agricultural civilization and industrial civilization. Any civilization has gone through long human values, conflicts of interest, multi-party competition, and slowly moved towards serving humanity.

'This range, I call it 'moderation'. When a certain civilization power exceeds 'moderation', it is harmful to humanity,' he said. 'I am an internet novice, an old dog who cannot learn new tricks. In the face of this civilization, I need to be corrected, I am a conflicting subject.'

Zhong Shanshan also called out Zhang Yiming, 'Today's Headlines, you are the actual controller, and also a profitable enterprise. You are a platform enterprise with enough control over public opinion. Because of this background, please uphold the rules of enterprise civilization.'

Zhong Shanshan explained, 'The so-called rules are not for one person, they are for all kinds of people, all the strong and weak, indiscriminate (rules).'

He said that these rules should provide fairness and justice for humanity. "I am willing to explore with everyone how to balance the strong and the weak in this civilization. Let the strong not be alone, and let the weak not be afraid."

Zhong Shanshan also called for algorithms to be clearly and accurately disclosed to the public. He emphasized that no standard should be kept secret and should be publicly disclosed for all users to evaluate its significance.

He also pointed out, "Bullying the weak with strength, bullying the small with power. This is not just your personal behavior, it is a blasphemy against human technological civilization. I request Toutiao and Douyin not to evade responsibility with the so-called safe harbor principle for these behaviors. Please delete the harm and defamation to me immediately. I ask them to remove the remarks, images, and stop infringing on a Chinese citizen."

"Stop, stop."

The strong on the internet must restrain themselves in the process of restraining others. If this principle is violated, if platform rights are used arbitrarily, if selective reporting is done out of context, and rumors are spread, this will bring greater harm to society. This is using modern technology under the internet law of the jungle.

During a discussion on the evening of the 19th, Zhong Shanshan also talked about algorithm issues, saying that some people have used algorithms to screen out a lot of diverse information. He believed that some platform companies rely on creating opposing roles to gain traffic.
