[Epoch Times, April 8, 2022](Comprehensive report by Epoch Times reporter Li Yun) Recently, a woman in Shanghai Hongkou asked a Dingdong deliveryman to deliver food to her father, but she was hit by Internet violence and jumped off the building to commit suicide. The incident attracted public attention. On April 8, the woman’s husband said that he will use legal means to punish the cyber rapists! Netizens also called for severe punishment of online mob.
Comprehensive Lu media reported on the 8th that a woman in Hongkou District, Shanghai recently asked Mr. Yu, a Dingdong grocery deliveryman, to deliver food to her hearing-impaired father who lives in Qingpu District. Due to traffic control, Mr. Yu went all the way, and it took nearly 4 hours to deliver the food to the place.
In order to express her gratitude, the woman’s WeChat and Alipay transfers to Mr. Yu were rejected by Mr. Yu. In the end, she charged Mr. Yu 200 yuan for the phone bill.
The official Weibo account of the Dingdong platform also said that Mr. Yu will be given a bonus of 2,000 yuan and an award.
However, the development of events was unexpected. Some cyber thugs scolded the woman for paying Mr. Yu 200 yuan too little.
On April 6, it was reported on the Internet that the woman committed suicide by jumping off a building after being attacked by the Internet. The local police station confirmed on the afternoon of the 7th that the woman had fallen from the building and “the person is no longer there.” As for the cause of the fall, further investigation is needed.
A Shanghai blogger posted a chat record between him and the woman. The woman said: “I didn’t expect that I wanted to promote my brother’s deeds, but the comment area was full of accusations about the 200 yuan call fee.”
She said that according to the route at the time, it would take 1.5 hours to arrive. I didn’t expect it to take so long. After the food was delivered that day, she was very moved and wanted to send a pennant to Mr. Yu, and later asked Mr. Yu to eat after the lockdown was lifted.
Mr. Yu told Jiupai News that on April 2, he had delivered food to the woman, and on the evening of the 3rd, he received a call from the woman again, saying that she was in Hongkou, and her father was in Qingpu. It is difficult for the hearing-impaired to live.
Mr. Yu said: “Before she found me, she had been placing orders on the platform for a while, and no one took the order after the delivery fee was added. When she called, her voice was crying, and I immediately softened and promised to help She sent.”
From Hongkou to Qingpu, 27 kilometers spans several districts. Mr. Yu said that because of the epidemic lockdown, many situations were encountered on the road. Cross-regional traffic police have stopped them for routine inspections, including reading nucleic acid reports and passports. After more than 3 hours, the food was finally delivered to the old man.
As for the remuneration, Mr. Yu said: “I didn’t ask for her money at first, but she charged me the phone bill later. Some people on the Internet actually accused her of giving less money.”
When he learned that the woman was being abused online, Mr. Yu said that he was under a lot of pressure and couldn’t sleep well, and he didn’t usually play Weibo very much. What a hassle.”
Netizens call for severe punishment of online mob
On April 8, the husband of the woman who fell from the building spoke out, emphasizing that legal means would be used to punish the cyber rioters!
Many netizens also left messages condemning online rioters and called for “severe punishment of online rioters.”
“If such a filial daughter is gone, what will her father do? What does the Internet bully do? It’s none of your business how much money you give. Severe punishment!”
“The cyber rapist must be punished, and the number of people is large… Mark the crime of the cyber rapist and let him know clearly that he has killed someone!”
Beijing lawyer Zhou Zhaocheng told Jiupai News that Internet violence has long become a cancer in the Internet world. In the face of arrogant cyber violence, the main responsibility of the platform should be implemented. From a legal perspective, the infringers of cyber violence who constitute criminal crimes shall be held accountable, and those in charge of the platforms who let it go are held to legal responsibilities, and the punishment of the platforms will be increased.
The Weibo service responded on the 8th, and complaints can be filed against disputes over rights and interests such as user reputation rights, honor rights, portrait rights, and privacy rights. After receiving the report, the staff will verify and deal with it within 5 working days. The retrospective period for personal attacks is within 3 months from the occurrence of the violation, and the parties will only accept complaints to Weibo.
