Suggestions and declarations on how to deal with network information
(Executive Resolution No. 31, issued by the President on August 19, 2011)
With the development of the Internet and the increase in the number of people surfing the Internet, there is a vast amount of information on the Internet, and the prevalence of true and false information. In order to help people deal with network information correctly, on the occasion of the 2011 819 International Integrity Day, we would like to share the following suggestions and declarations with all walks of life.
1. It is recommended to distinguish between "facts" and "opinions" in network information.
"There was a six-story building on a certain university campus in 2011" is a "fact"; someone thinks "this building is very tall" or "this building is very low" is an opinion.
No one has the right to distort or fabricate facts, because this is lying, it is bad faith, it will constitute defamation or fraud.
But anyone has the right to express their views (note: the right to express their views is also called "freedom of speech"), as long as his views are not suspected of insulting the personality of others. No matter how unworthy his views may be, no matter how distasteful his views may be, he should not be deprived of his freedom to express his views. From the perspective of civil society construction, if you can deprive him of the freedom to express his views today, then your freedom to express his views will also be deprived by others. We should think and practice a famous saying: Although I do not agree with what you say, I will swear to the death to defend your right to speak.
For those who distort or fabricate the facts, we hope that the law can justly punish him. At the same time, no matter whether he is punished by law or not, it is suggested that every person with moral conscience should start from himself and resist and despise him until he sincerely corrects and apologizes.
For those who express their opinions, as long as they are not suspected of insulting the personality of others, we hope that the law can fairly protect their freedom of speech. At the same time, we suggest that every person with moral conscience should start from himself, respect and protect his right to express his views.
Second, it is suggested to distinguish between "views out of fact" and "views based on facts" in network information.
Opinion that is not factual and, if used inappropriately, constitutes an insult. For example: directly calling someone a "liar" without factual basis constitutes an insult to his personality.
Opinions based on fact generally do not constitute insult. For example: a person has indeed done a lot of deceitful things, based on these facts, it is still pertinent to call him a "liar". Because: it is not the person who states the facts and expresses his opinion that insults him, but the liar himself and the deceit he has committed.
People should not go along with or blindly follow views that are divorced from the facts.
People should respect and protect opinions based on facts.
Third, it is recommended to develop the habit and ability of independent thinking, do not blindly believe in Internet information, and do not blindly disbelieve in Internet information.
Some information on the Internet may seem true on the surface, but it is false. Some information on the Internet may look fake on the surface, but it is actually true.
How to distinguish true from false? It is necessary to analyze the rationality of the content of the information and search for relevant information in depth. If you know more about the relevant information, you will naturally be able to distinguish the true from the false.
Lies flourish by taking advantage of people's credulity. Viciousness thrives on the insensitivity of men. If people all develop the habit and ability of independent thinking, the lies and evil deeds in online information will not be able to prevail.
Fourth, it is suggested that the educational circles and parents should pay attention to the bottom line education of moral conscience.
A person may have no knowledge or ability, but as long as he has a bottom line of moral conscience, he will not harm others or society.
As a parent, we hope that you attach importance to the bottom line education of your children's moral conscience. We believe that with the progress and norms of society, it will become more and more difficult for people without a bottom line of moral conscience to survive and develop.
We also believe that as the number of people with moral conscience increases, false online information will decrease accordingly.
5. The improvement of the quality of network information requires a relatively solid bottom line of social moral conscience, so we suggest that everyone start from themselves and jointly care for the bottom line of social moral conscience.
The bottom line of moral conscience of most people constitutes the bottom line of social moral conscience. In a society, if the bottom line of moral conscience is not solid enough, all kinds of vicious incidents will increase, and there will be more and more vicious incidents using network information. More and more innocent people will be victimized. In order to protect ourselves and our children and grandchildren from being innocent and victimized, let us start from ourselves and jointly protect the bottom line of social moral conscience.
6. It is recommended that enterprises agree on CS clauses when signing contracts.
The advantages of agreeing on CS terms are: 1. You can quickly discover your own objective problems; 2. You can avoid intensifying conflicts; 3. You can use the ICE8000 dispute resolution mechanism to handle contract disputes; 4. You can prevent customers from negligently publishing or maliciously publishing on the Internet Posting incorrect network information.
There are many ways to agree on CS clauses. The concise method is: make the following agreement in the contract: this contract is signed and implemented in accordance with the principle of good faith and the bottom line of moral conscience. Complaint Standards” for internal complaints.
Attachment: "The Standard of Moral Conscience"
Proposals and declarations are hereby made!

Moral conscience is non-standard
The following content is quoted from "ICE8000 International Credit Standard System Moral Conscience Appraisal and Advising Standards" (version number: ICE8000 -111-20110201-20110519-4)
Article 9 Human moral conscience is the subjective pursuit and maintenance of [human universal values]. In different times and spaces, in addition to correct moral right and wrong judgments, those with a moral conscience are sometimes mistaken for immoral, and the immoral are sometimes mistaken for moral. People should not use [the success or failure of the actor] as the standard of moral right and wrong, nor should they use [the law or state power or customs or the number of people] as the standard of moral right and wrong, but should use [whether the actor violates the universal value of human beings] as a standard of moral right and wrong.
Article 10 No matter how perfect the law and system are, it is only infinitely close to perfection, but it will never be perfect. Objectively speaking, there will always be flaws in laws and systems. [Human moral conscience] will make up for the flaws of laws and systems, and enhance the well-being of mankind.
Article 11 The universal value of human beings referred to in this standard refers to the value principles that are universally applicable to human beings regardless of time, space, race, belief and other factors, such as: the principle of the supremacy of human basic rights, The principle of equal opportunity for human development, the principle of rewarding good and punishing evil and rewarding meritorious deeds, the principle of good faith, the principle of fairness, justice and openness in benefit distribution and dispute handling, etc.

If the rights holder has not voluntarily given up his legitimate rights and interests, nor has he transferred his legitimate rights and interests in the form of a contract, then others should not steal, occupy, erode or covet the rights holder's legitimate rights and interests for any reason, otherwise, it is a [damage or potential damage legitimate rights and interests of others]. People can call [damage or potential damage to the legitimate rights and interests of others] as [evil].
Article 14 The bottom line of moral conscience (may be referred to as the moral bottom line for short) is as follows:
(1) Do not intentionally [damage or potentially damage the legitimate rights and interests of others] subjectively, and sincerely correct and/or apologize if you know that you have [damaged or potentially damaged the legitimate rights and interests of others] objectively. (In short: do not intentionally hurt others, and sincerely correct and/or apologize if you did wrongly.)
(2) Subjectively not to seek or maintain [the rights and interests of another person or a group of people or oneself] at the cost of damaging or potentially damaging [the legitimate rights and interests of another person or a group of people]. (Note: The mayor assigning the police to risk their lives to stop a violent crime does not constitute damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the police [the legitimate rights and interests here refer to: the right to life and health], because a person who chooses the profession of the police is equivalent to using a contract The form transfers part of the legitimate rights and interests of oneself [the legitimate rights and interests here refer to: the right to life and health when performing duties]. Another example: the bank president orders the staff to wear work clothes during work, which does not belong to the damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the employees [here The legitimate rights and interests refer to: the right to dress freely], because a person chooses the profession of a bank employee, which is equivalent to transferring part of his own legitimate rights and interests in the form of a contract [here the legitimate rights and interests refer to: the right to freely decide what to wear during work] ].)
(3) In the event of a conflict [such as: war, civil dispute, etc.], the parties to the conflict subjectively avoid damage or potential damage to the greatest extent [innocent and third parties], and give compensation to the objectively caused damage or potential damage compensation. (Note: Various conflicts are objectively unavoidable sometimes, but regardless of whether the conflict itself violates the bottom line of morality, all parties to the conflict should not damage or potentially damage the legitimate rights and interests of [innocent and third parties].)
(4) When it is known that a person or unit has violated the bottom line of morality, and before the person or unit sincerely corrects and/or apologizes, within the scope permitted by objective conditions, do not provide him with support, assistance, and cooperation other than humanitarianism . (In short: do not support [the immoral person] until he sincerely corrects and/or apologizes.)

The first three items of the first paragraph can be understood as [moral obligation not to do evil], and the fourth item can be understood as [moral obligation not to support evil] or [moral obligation to maintain the moral bottom line].

(1) Do not violate the bottom line of morality subjectively, and strive to pursue the effect of benefiting oneself and others.
(2) Do not violate the bottom line of morality subjectively, and strive to pursue the effect of benefiting others, and do not particularly care about whether one's own rights and interests are damaged.
(3) Do not violate the bottom line of morality subjectively, and strive to pursue and maintain universal human values, regardless of whether their own rights and interests are damaged.
An act that meets one of the items mentioned in the first paragraph is a higher moral act.
A person or unit is determined and actually starts to act in accordance with one of the items mentioned in the first paragraph, it can be considered as a person or unit with higher morality.

(2) Subjectively, the actor seeks or maintains [the rights and interests of another person or a group of people or himself] at the cost of damaging or potentially damaging [the legitimate rights and interests of another person or a group of people], regardless of whether the purpose is achieved.
(3) Subjectively, although the perpetrator has no malicious purpose or even has a good intention, but objectively damages or potentially damages the legitimate rights and interests of others, and does not correct and/or sincerely apologize after knowing or should have known.
(4) The perpetrator intentionally takes advantage of [legal flaws, system flaws, bad customs and habits] to damage or potentially damage the legitimate rights and interests of others.
