China Internet Illegal and Bad Information Reporting Center took stock of the top ten online rumors in May.

　　Blackmail virus, xiong’an new area, bike-sharing … These hot topics were concerned by netizens in May, and all kinds of online rumors also took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and confuse the audience: "bike-sharing cushion is now’ AIDS needle’, and it will be infected when it is stuck", "Bitcoin ransomware can invade mobile phones" and "xiong’an new area compensation standard is announced" … China Internet Illegal and Bad Information Reporting Center sorted out the top ten online rumors in May to set the record straight.

　　Myth 1: floss is made of cotton.

　　In late May, a video was widely spread on WeChat group, saying that it was proved by washing and burning that some floss breads and cakes on the market were made of cotton. The video caused a lot of forwarding, which caused netizens to question and worry about food safety, and even related products were returned and removed from the shelves, causing great losses to some enterprises.

　　Truth:China food and drug administration’s official magazine "China Food and Drug Administration" and WeChat WeChat official account’s "CFDA China Food and Drug Administration" denied that the essence of dried meat floss is muscle fiber, and the main component is protein, which will melt when put into your mouth and taste soft. The essence of cotton is plant fiber, the main component is cellulose, which is an insoluble fiber. Although it looks soft, it is not chewy. In other words, if you really pretend to be floss with cotton, you will be seen through when you eat it! In addition, the "fire identification method" used in the video is not reliable. Protein, the main ingredient of the floss, is combustible, so it is normal to be ignited, and there will be a burnt smell. Combustibility does not prove that the floss is made of cotton.

　　Rumor 2: bike-sharing cushion is now an "AIDS needle", and it will be infected when it is tied.

　　At the end of May, pictures circulated on the Internet said that someone found a needle on the seat cushion of a bike-sharing, as if someone had done it on purpose. "Please pay attention to check when riding a bike. Some AIDS patients dye their blood on the needle. If they are stabbed, you will be infected."

　　Truth:First of all, scientific research shows that HIV cannot survive in air, water and food. Once you leave the human environment, the virus will soon lose its ability to spread. Secondly, the human body only ingests enough HIV to cause infection. The blood and liquid content on the needle is inherently low, and the amount of virus is even less. Therefore, even if there is virus residue on the needle, it is difficult for the number of viruses to reach the pathogenic conditions. In this regard, the yellow bike-sharing company ofo involved in the online picture issued a statement: "Xiaohuangche verified the cities involved in the rumor at the first time and did not find any situation mentioned in the rumor."

　　Proverbs 3: Bitcoin ransomware can invade iOS and Android phones.

　　After the outbreak of the Bitcoin blackmail virus "I want to cry", rumors about mobile phones being infected with this virus have come and gone. All kinds of information are widely spread on social networking platforms. There are rumors that "a new type of computer virus’ want to cry’ broke out around the world, and mobile phones will be invaded, whether it is Android or Apple!" At the same time, it also said, "This is an upgraded version of the ransomware. Once it is blackmailed, there is no way to save it at present, only prevention!"

　　Truth:According to feedback from network security agencies such as 360 and Cheetah, no bitcoin ransomware has been found to infect mobile phones. The ransomware is a virus aimed at Windows, and it is impossible to run on Android phones or Apple phones. However, experts also reminded that if the mobile phone is connected to the computer infected with the ransomware as a storage device, the files in the SD card of the mobile phone may be infected with the virus.

　　Proverbs 4: xiong’an new area compensation standard announced.

　　The news that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to set up xiong’an new area has aroused widespread concern in society. Along with this hot topic, some rumors have also spread. In mid-May, there was a so-called "xiong’an new area Compensation Standard" circulating in the circle of friends, which claimed that every rural resident in Xiong ‘an New District, regardless of the size of their homestead, had three sets of houses with a total area of not less than 300 square meters.

　　Truth:The so-called "compensation standard" is a complete rumor. Previously, the Provisional Party Committee and Preparatory Committee of xiong’an new area, Hebei Province issued a clear paper entitled "Adhering to the People-Centered Concept and Seriously Formulating Land Expropriation and Relocation Policies". According to the paper, at present, the land requisition and relocation work in the new district is in the stage of investigation and consultation, and the Preparatory Committee of the new district has not released any content of "standards for requisition and relocation" in any form. On May 20th, Xiongxian Public Security Bureau made a punishment decision of 10 days’ administrative detention on Sun Moumou who was suspected of spreading rumors about "xiong’an new area compensation standard".

　　Proverbs 5: The video of "Taiyuan earthquake of magnitude 12" contains ransomware.

　　In mid-May, a message "The video of the earthquake with magnitude 12 in Taiyuan" was widely spread in the WeChat group: "Please pay attention to the news just received from other groups: Don’t open the video of the earthquake with magnitude 12 in Taiyuan, delete it immediately, it is a ransomware, especially the one with Alipay on the mobile phone. Just now the news was broadcast, and everyone started to transfer to each of their own groups. Don’t be fooled. "

　　Truth:Weibo, the official of "Taiyuan network police patrol law enforcement", denied the rumor, which is a rumor of "rubbing hot spots". First of all, the Taiyuan earthquake of magnitude 12 alone is very suspicious. Worldwide, the earthquake with the largest magnitude recorded was the one that occurred in Chile in 1960, with a magnitude of 9.5. Secondly, we can’t find any video titled "Taiyuan earthquake with magnitude 12" on the Internet. This is obviously a rumor that uses blackmail virus to rub hot spots.

　　Proverbs 6: From June 12306, I can only buy tickets.

　　At the end of May, a notice circulated on the Internet: 12306 will require registered users to use their bank cards for payment from June this year. At that time, users can only buy tickets for themselves, and children will not be able to buy tickets for their parents.

　　Truth:The 12306 National Railway Customer Service Center responded that without similar notice, a registered account can still buy tickets for five of the common contacts at the same time. Website registered users should have the same name as the payment bank account, but it does not affect everyone to use their own accounts to buy tickets for common contacts.

　　Myth 7: A horrible family photo.

　　In mid-May, a photo circulated on the Internet said that there was only one young man in a family of eight in Rudong County, Jiangsu Province, which was a horrible family photo.

　　Truth:The "only" young man in the photo @ Oh, there is Weibo. According to personal Weibo, there are not only these people in the family, but also brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts. The whole family adds up to 40 or 50 people. As for this photo, it was taken a few years ago to promote filial piety to the elderly, and did not let his uncle, aunt, sister and brother appear.

　　Proverbs 8: Female anchors hide in the Forbidden City at night and broadcast live.

　　After the May Day holiday, a video of "Female anchor staying at the Forbidden City for live broadcast of Cixi’s bed" was widely spread on the Internet. The woman in the video has been dressed in ancient costumes and broadcast live in the Forbidden City many times, and claimed that she would avoid the security of the Forbidden City and broadcast it again at night. That night, the woman filmed in a building similar to a palace, claiming to be "now alone in the Forbidden City".

　　Truth:On May 19th, the Beijing police informed that, after investigation, the offender Li (male, 27 years old) wanted to promote an online APP by supporting Zhou (female, 22 years old). Under the planning of Yang (male, 44 years old), the three entered the Forbidden City during the day on May 1st by purchasing tickets normally and broadcast live pictures. In the meantime, Yang and Li deliberately pretended to be netizens and proposed to broadcast live in the Forbidden City at night. That night, the three people went to an ancient imperial city scenic spot in Shunyi District to continue the live broadcast, and lied that the scene was in the Forbidden City, fabricating the false fact that the female anchor stayed in the Forbidden City for live webcast. According to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, the public security organs detained Yang for 10 days, Li for 10 days, and Zhou for 5 days (suspended due to illness).

　　Proverbs 9: Bananas are soaked in formaldehyde, and they will be poisoned if eaten.

　　At the end of May, a video of "Banana Soaked in Unknown Liquid" was widely circulated in Weibo, WeChat group and friends circle. Consumers are worried that the unknown liquid is a toxic liquid, and some even speculate that it is formaldehyde.

　　Truth:Wang Mingyue, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Products Processing, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, said that the milky liquid in the video is a preservative. Bananas are perishable after picking, so they need to be preserved for long-distance transportation. At present, prochloraz, thiophanate-methyl and iprodione are mainly used as banana preservatives. These are internationally recognized low-toxic fungicides, which degrade quickly and are registered by the competent authorities and allowed to be used in banana preservation. The competent authorities have also formulated the corresponding recommended dosage and residue limit standards. Therefore, consumers do not need to worry at all, and bananas that have undergone formal preservation treatment can be safely eaten.

　　Myth 10: A drop of blood can measure cancer.

　　At the beginning of May, a "major breakthrough! The article "A drop of blood can be measured for cancer has been approved for clinical use" attracted attention on the Internet. The article mentioned: "The Luo Yongzhang team of the School of Life Sciences of Tsinghua University independently developed a kit, which can be used for cancer condition monitoring and treatment effect evaluation by patients only taking a drop of blood." Individual media and self-media then forwarded that "a drop of blood can measure cancer".

　　Truth:Professor Sudan of Zhejiang Cancer Hospital said that the statement that "a drop of blood can detect cancer" is not rigorous, and the role of tumor markers in tumor diagnosis is exaggerated. Up to now, there is no blood marker in the world that can accurately diagnose tumors. In fact, Luo Yongzhang himself once denied this, saying that "a drop of blood can detect cancer" is very inaccurate, and the exact statement should be "monitoring tumor".
