Chapter 3051 That's all

In the past few years, domestic social media has been in a golden age, with relatively loose censorship and very smooth information dissemination.

The reason is unclear.

Basically all kinds of topics can be discussed.

However, that’s not possible now.

The secret circle really can't survive and will be completely closed.

Platforms such as Weibo, Toutiao, and Friends.com have also been asked to rectify their content many times because they contain a lot of inappropriate content.

Many people in the company find it difficult to accept this and are a little aggrieved.

Many people may even think that this is a betrayal of their pursuits and ideals, and also violates the Internet's own development principles of breaking the information gap.

Zhou Buqi could only stand up and tell everyone what was in his heart, so that everyone could get through this hurdle in their hearts.

This is a bit heavy.

Ziweixing is a listed company, and those who attended the meeting were all company executives with net worths of hundreds of millions of dollars at least. According to Maslow's demand theory, these people's social value has already reached the level of "self-actualization".

The most important thing for self-realization is spiritual pursuit, having an ideal in mind and wanting to do something meaningful and great.

Zhou Buqi wants to talk to everyone, which is really not an easy task.

So he started with Twitter.

"Some of you may have heard that Google has recently hired a lot of content reviewers, mainly to review the comments on Google and Twitter." Zhou Buqi has been paying attention to this matter. "Some time ago, I went to Went to Google and talked to Larry Page about it.”

Song Yansong is a rising star in Ziweixing. He is the fastest-promoted young man in the company’s history. He is the youngest and has the most grievances. “I don’t find any restrictions on speech on Twitter!”

Zhou Buqi said: "There are still some, but they are very clever, otherwise people would not spend so much money to recruit auditors. I talked to Larry Page, and he said that this is a big trend, even if he He is the CEO of Google and there is nothing he can do.”

Song Yansong asked: "Is it the request of the White House? The White House has the right to interfere?"

"Of course the White House has no such right, but we know that any company cannot be made by one person, it must be the joint efforts of everyone." Zhou Buqi needs to explain this matter clearly, "Silicon Valley It is in California, and California is the stronghold of the Democratic Party in the United States. It can be said that the modern liberalism that spreads around the world originated from the hippie movement in Silicon Valley and spread to the world through Hollywood. In short, the entire California and the entire Silicon Valley are the United States. The left!"

Song Yansong remained silent.

Zhou Buqi continued: "For Larry Page, left and right are not important at all. The most important thing is to let Google exist for a long time and to let Google continue to create valuable and influential products. Let Google make greater contributions to the development of mankind. This is the pursuit of a world-class entrepreneur. However, for most ordinary employees, they do not have such a pursuit. Be comfortable at work.”

Guo Pengfei nodded, "Yes, Google is in Silicon Valley, and most of Google's employees are Democratic-leaning. Isn't it in the news before? There was a Google engineer who just said that women are not as good as men in computer development. Then he was fired."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, this is a very typical example. I also asked Larry Page. Larry Page didn't want to fire him at all, but there was nothing he could do. Because the other person's words had already touched the atmosphere in Silicon Valley. If Larry Page does not fire him, many outstanding scientists and executives at Google may feel huge disappointment and may leave, or at least there will be internal strife. A kind of kidnapping by the general environment. Even if Google is Larry Page's company, he can't do anything. He can only cut his feet to fit in. "

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room became serious.

In the United States, California is the stronghold of the left.

The elites in Silicon Valley are basically Democrats. Several major directors in Hollywood who hold Republican views, such as Clint Eastwood, will inevitably miss Oscar nominations for their films whenever they publicly express their stance.

In California, the "left" has a deep rejection of the "right".

This trend has spread to the Internet platform.

For example, social media such as Twitter, Google+, and YouTube owned by Google.

These products are all operated by Google's product team. These people have left-wing views, and under the tide of the times, their views are becoming more and more left-wing. They have even begun to restrict Republican supporters, thinking that their speech has It can be equated with terror and violence.

What can be done?

Larry Page has nothing to do, this is the general trend, and the employees below all think so, from top scientists to the best executives, they all think the same way. He can only be "kidnapped" by his employees and support them in reviewing some terrorist, violent, and populist remarks on social media, ranging from demoting his authority to deleting his account, or even directly banning his account.

As time goes by, it will eventually lead to the entire American Internet media turning to the left.

It will become more and more radical.

It all depends on when the situation will be reversed and corrected. The United States is actually better than Europe. At least it does not accept refugees from the Middle East on a large scale. Although the refugees from Mexico and South America are also causing chaos, they are many times more powerful than the refugees from the Middle East.

No one here holds American citizenship.

They don't care what happens to the United States and Europe in the future.

But I also had the same feeling.

Even Google is not immune. Even people like Larry Page and Zuckerberg will be kidnapped by the general trend. Who can escape?

Zhou Buqi said: "What happens to the United States has nothing to do with us, but this incident has also made us see clearly that even Larry Page can hardly influence the general trend. He is just an ordinary person, a very special person." Rich ordinary people. Me too, and so are you. We are all ordinary people, just ordinary people with a little money.”

Fu Hongliang sighed softly, "So we just accept our fate?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Isn't this fate? I think this is basic common sense in doing business."

Fu Hongliang said: "I feel uncomfortable!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Even if I feel uncomfortable, what can I do? Just like Boss He and I talked about outsourcing for a while. Everyone must be very aware of outsourcing. When I first heard about it, I felt I was very angry and thought this was an insult to outsourced employees and a form of workplace discrimination. Later, I met a few outsourced employees and talked to them, and I found that most of them didn't care about this kind of differential treatment, even if the treatment was not as good as that of regular employees. Just make money."

He Yang added: "For most outsourcing employees, they can accept it. No matter how bad the outsourcing position is, isn't it better than assembly line workers? Working to make money is nothing to look down on? The most important thing about outsourcing positions is making money , whether there is differential treatment, whether there is character humiliation, these are not important.”

Zhou Buqi sighed and said: "I'm very ashamed. I was criticized by Boss He just now. He said that I 'why don't I eat minced meat'? He said that I have been aloof for too long and it is difficult to get in touch with the ideas of the lower class. When I am a When a person is hungry, what he cares about most is to be fed. When he is so hungry, he will even sell his children and daughters, not to mention his dignity? "

Song Yansong was very young and asked: "Why? Those who are honest will not be criticized."

He Yang smiled and gave him an explanation, "The honest man will not accept the food that comes to him. This is of course correct, but this is only half of what he said. In complete words, it should be that most people will accept the food that comes to him, and the honest man will not accept the food that comes to him. '."

Song Yansong was speechless.

Zhou Buqi was a little funny. The way Song Yansong was scolded by Boss He was almost the same as himself just now.

Professor Han Lexui said calmly and solemnly: "In the face of survival and dignity, you still have to choose survival. Only after you survive can you find a way to get your dignity back. If you choose dignity, you will often end up losing both your dignity and the chance to survive." After all, it is better to be brave than to kill Fang Xiaoru's ten clans. "

"I half agree with what Professor Han said!" Zhou Buqi laughed, then straightened his face, "However, when it comes to those outsourced personnel, including those assembly line workers in sweatshops, those small traders and temporary workers in society , in order to make a little money, I have to endure humiliation and even abuse from all aspects. Is it really worth it? Is dignity really that fragile? After talking with Lao He, I finally thought of something that each of us knows. , but it is a truth that is difficult to realize.”

After a pause, Zhou Buqi continued: "Each of us is good at examining and judging others, but we do not lack the ability to examine and judge ourselves. We and those outsourced employees, the delivery boys, and the urban management officials are chasing us. How much difference does it make to the hawkers running all over the street? The only difference is that we have a little money! We are all ordinary people in this land!"

As soon as these words came out, many people present began to take a breath.

I feel a chill down my spine.

I felt that my pride and self-esteem as a "superior" were suddenly shattered.

You know, even Larry Page chickened out!

He chose survival between the survival of the enterprise and his own belief!

Under the general left-wing trend in the United States, he was kidnapped by his employees. He wanted to fire employees he did not want to fire. He even hired many content moderators to limit heretical speech on Google's social products...

Not to mention ordinary people at the lowest level.

Even if you are a world-class entrepreneur, what can you do in front of the soil?

In the face of survival, you can only retreat!

Where can anyone be superior?

We are all ordinary people, and our personalities, beliefs and ideals can be trampled on by general trends and circumstances at will!
