The short video "Merchant threatens to cancel takeout" is reported online as a traffic diversion routine (2026·11·12)

Rumor refuting: The short video "Merchant threatens to cancel takeout" is a traffic diversion trick.

Details: Recently, a batch of templated short videos of so-called "merchants" threatening to "cancel takeout" and "remove takeout" have appeared on social platforms, attracting attention. After investigation, the relevant videos were not the true statements of individual catering businesses, but mass publicity stunts concocted by MCN organizations to attract traffic and make profits.

The restaurant mentioned in the video in Yibin, Sichuan, has been undertaking takeout business, and banners with the same words appear in videos posted by many local restaurants. Relevant departments in Yibin set up a joint investigation team. After investigation, it was found that the above videos were all operated by an MCN agency for a fee. At present, the companies involved have been asked to stop illegal activities and investigate the relevant responsible persons.

Myth: Antibodies acquired from influenza infection are more natural and lasting than vaccines?

Truth: This statement is too absolute. The function of the vaccine is to allow the immune system to recognize the pathogen or its key components in advance and establish immune memory so that it can launch defense more quickly when it is actually exposed to the pathogen. Natural infections may also prompt the immune system to produce antibodies and immune memory. However, when the immune system first responds to a pathogen, it needs to go through the actual infection process. The development and severity of the disease are difficult to predict, and even if it is eventually recovered, it may leave health damage. Moreover, influenza viruses will continue to mutate, and the immune protection obtained from natural infection cannot be guaranteed to be effective in the long term. The value of influenza vaccine is not only to reduce the risk of infection, but more importantly, to reduce the risk of severe illness and death after infection. It can especially provide protection for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. Rather than risk acquiring immunity through natural infection, it is better to get a flu vaccine in a timely manner according to vaccination recommendations.

Report: Shaanxi Xi’an Internet Police reported 3 typical cases of cracking down on Internet rumors

Details: Recently, a case of an excavator damaging a building occurred at a government service center in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, which attracted attention. Individual illegal actors artificially gain traffic and attract attention, and use this case to fabricate and spread false information and disrupt public order. Three typical cases investigated and dealt with by the public security organs in accordance with the law are hereby notified as follows:

Case 1: In order to gain attention and fans, Chen Moumou, the offender, fabricated and posted an AI-synthesized video of "Terracotta Warriors and Horses Driving an Excavator to Destroy a Building" on a short video platform, and spread inflammatory remarks in the comment area. The video received 13,000 views. This rumor information deliberately exaggerated the violent atmosphere at the scene of the case, packaged illegal and criminal acts into rights protection scenes, and tried to create a false "just persona", seriously confusing the truth, misleading the public, disrupting online public order, inciting negative emotions, and causing negative social impact.

Case 2: In order to gain attention and fans, the perpetrator Zhao took advantage of the popularity of the case and posted a false video on a short video platform using AI technology to show that other government offices were damaged by excavators. He also spread inflammatory remarks in the comment area, with more than a thousand views. This rumor deliberately conveys the bad direction of imitating violent destruction, incites negative emotions, can easily mislead the public, disrupt online public order, and cause negative social impact.

Case 3: In order to gain traffic and attract attention, the illegal actor Ren forwarded, without verification, false videos of excavators destroying other offices generated by AI technology, misleading the public, disrupting public order on the Internet, and causing adverse social impact.
