Recently, a mountain climbing video by Ms. Deng, a native of Jilin, unexpectedly brought her to the forefront of public opinion. According to a report by Guangming Network on November 24th, in the video, Ms. Deng's backpack and ski suit were hung with tags, which some netizens grabbed and refused to release, calling her the "tag sister". They even labeled her as a "freeloader" and "malicious return", and then used vicious language to attack her appearance and hometown. Subsequently, Ms. Deng clarified in a video that the backpack was purchased in September 2025 and the hang tag was a regular brand provided by the merchant; The pendant on the ski suit is actually a missing child's family search card, which has been kept for its public welfare significance. The product has already passed the return period, and the so-called 'freelancing' is purely groundless. As the brand confirmed its public welfare actions over the past four years, public opinion quickly reversed and netizens apologized one after another. Some netizens lamented, "Cyberbullying is really scary." In recent years, the plot of online space reversal has been repeatedly staged, and they have a similar trajectory: a video, a few screenshots, and provocative interpretations can ignite the flames of public opinion. Netizens are eager to take sides and become "online judges" when information is incomplete. However, when the truth is revealed and public opinion reverses, the harm to the parties involved is irreparable. Behind this type of online violence, there is a lack of labeled thinking and empathy ability, such as identifying unclaimed tags as "malicious returns" and labeling young women as "certain women" when they see their rights being protected. In the era of fragmented information, some netizens ignore basic logic, are unwilling to explore details, and wield the moral baton based solely on one-sided information. This behavior of "convicting first and verifying later" essentially treats the internet as a garbage can for venting emotions, exposing the shallowness of cognition and trampling on the dignity of others. When participating in online bullying, some people are immersed in the self emotion of being a "righteous messenger", enjoying the sense of superiority of standing on the moral high ground, but forgetting that the blade they wield may be aimed at innocent people. The illusion of "justice comes with just one keystroke" has turned online trials into violent carnivals. The anonymity of the internet has allowed many people to break free from the constraints of reality and become unrestrained. It is gratifying that amidst this hustle and bustle, we can still see the radiance of reason and goodwill. For example, after experiencing online bullying, Ms. Deng still insisted on keeping her public welfare tag and expressed her intention to continue helping missing children return home; The timely clarification and warm response from the brand side turned a storm into a public welfare communication; More and more netizens are starting to reflect and learn to be cautious in hot events... The power of the rule of law is also safeguarding the clear cyberspace. The "Guiding Opinions on Punishing Cyberbullying and Illegal Crimes in accordance with the Law" issued by the "Two Highs and One Ministry" clearly define the punishment standards for cyberbullying behavior and send a clear signal: cyberspace is not an lawless place, and freedom of speech cannot be achieved at the cost of trampling on the rights and interests of others. To curb online violence, the whole society needs to form a joint force. For every netizen, it is important to learn to stay clear headed in the torrent of information and remember the basic principle of "not commenting when the whole picture is unknown". In the face of hot topics, instead of rushing to take sides, it's better to have more patience to let the bullets fly for a while. We should be aware that on the other end of the screen, there are vivid people, and every comment we make can become the last straw that crushes others. In an era where everyone has a microphone, what is more important than chasing hot topics is to respect the truth; What is more powerful than expressing anger is learning to listen. May we all be less restless and more rational, and let the online space return to a clear and peaceful atmosphere, becoming a paradise for ideological exchange rather than a breeding ground for violence.
