Police in Qichun, Hubei have cracked open a huge case involving the *deletion of Internet posts and bribe money. The case includes nearly 2,000 suspects in 22 provinces, and more than 50 million yuan in illegal payments. One 26-year-old suspect made 7.8 million yuan in four years by engaging in the shady business. Commentator Qu Bo writes in Guangming Daily that such a business is harmful to society because it *undermines the news media’s credibility and damages society’s common moral values. There are specialized PR firms and agencies that take money to delete “negative” news articles, social media and online forum posts, sometimes by bribing online editors or hacking into databases. This line of business is in complete disregard of moral and ethical standards, says Qu, and a direct challenge to the law. In the Internet age, Qu says, online information has become a key part of people’s lives, and such disruption of the normal flow of information makes people’s lives a nightmare. Taking people’s money to make online content they object to “go away” is just *blackmailing in cyberspace. While it’s the government’s job to crack down on the illegal business practice, every Internet user must take responsibility and morally oppose such acts, says Qu.
