Wechat suspended the drift bottle (why does the drift bottle frequently have bad content? )

Recently, due to the frequent occurrence of bad content in the drift bottle, WeChat announced that it would suspend the function of the drift bottle, which caused widespread concern and discussion. So why do bad contents appear frequently in drift bottles?

Operation steps of drift bottle

First, let's take a look at the operation steps of the drift bottle. There is a "Discover" button in the lower left corner of the WeChat chat interface. You can see the "Drift Bottle" function after clicking it. After clicking Enter, you can choose to "throw bottles" or "pick up bottles".

If you choose "throw bottles", you can enter words or sounds, and select information such as gender, age and constellation. Then click "Throw it out". If you choose "Pick up a bottle", you can randomly pick up a drift bottle, which may contain words, pictures, sounds and other contents.

Causes of frequent occurrence of bad contents in drift bottles

The original intention of the drift bottle function is to let users find more interesting people and things. However, with the more and more extensive use of drift bottles, some problems have also appeared. One of the most important problems is the frequent occurrence of bad contents in drift bottles.

First of all, the anonymity of drift bottles is one of the reasons for the frequent occurrence of bad content. Because drift bottles can be thrown and picked up anonymously, some people will use this loophole to publish some bad content, such as pornography, violence, fraud and so on. These contents will not only affect the user's experience, but also cause harm to users.

Secondly, the imperfect screening mechanism of drift bottles is also one of the reasons for the frequent occurrence of bad content. Although WeChat has carried out some filtering on drift bottles, such as filtering sensitive words and pictures, these measures are not perfect enough. Some bad content may enter the user's drift bottle through the screening mechanism of WeChat.

Influence of Wechat Hanging Drift Bottle

Wechat suspended the function of drift bottle, which had a great impact on users. First of all, users can no longer use the function of the drift bottle and know more people and things through the drift bottle. Secondly, users may have doubts about the security of WeChat and worry that their personal information will be leaked.
