Abstract

Recently, with the development of the Internet and technology, most we-media platforms such as Weibo, Facebook, Tik Tok and so on, have also achieved rapid development and become the main channels for citizens to enjoy entertainment, socialize and obtain information. However, while We Media offers convenience for people as a useful tool, there are also increasing problems such as the decline of information authenticity, the increase of vulgar and meaningless information, plagiarism and “draft washing” chaos as well as extreme cyber-violence under the emotional transmission of information. These problems don’t only affect the healthy environment of “We Media” but they also generate a negative impact on the moral values of We Media users. Based on these phenomenon and problems, the research aims to analyze the main several characteristics of the We Media chaos and further discuss the causes of the We Media chaos by combining “internal” information transformation mechanism and “external” impacts. Finally, it further explores and analyzes the norms and governance of “We Media” chaos from three perspectives: we-media users, We Media platforms as well as government supervision.
