The Internet is the express way for conveying various information in a timely manner.
But it has been recently reported that Chinese firms and agencies are hiring employees to delete web postings that contain negative opinions or information about them or their products.
A commentary on the Worker's Daily says the rapid development of the Internet in China has given the public better access to all kinds of information, but that some businesses have growing concerns about negative information being leveled agaisnt them on the Internet.
Therefore, many are hiring employees whose job is to monitor, review and delete negative web postings about them.
The commentary notes that deleting web posts that companies deem negative is a denial of people's rights to know the information.
It argues that those who delete such information are sometimes protecting unscrupulous businesspeople by preventing the public from knowing the truth about their practices and products.
The commentary concludes that deleting web posts should be supervised by related departments.
Firms that delete web postings that contain negative information about them or their products in order to protect their own interests should also be punished.
互聯網在第一時間,迅速快捷地傳遞各種信息。
但是最近有報道說,中國的公司專門聘人清除網頁上關于公司或其產品的負面評價或信息。
工人日報的一篇社論談到,互聯網在中國的飛速發展讓人們能夠更好的了解各方面的信息,因此一些公司日漸注意到被人們上傳到網上的關于公司的負面信息影響了公司的形象。
于是,很多公司雇人去監查網頁,刪除負面帖子。
評論強調,刪除公司的負面帖子,是對人權的否定,蒙蔽人們對公司及產品的真實了解。
有人稱,刪信息的人有時也是為了防御不道德的人阻止公眾知道公司行為和產品的真相。
評論最后說,相關部門應該監視刪網頁帖子的行為。
公司為了保護自己的利益而刪去對公司或其產品的負面評價,應該受到懲罰。
