Chapter 286: We've already deleted the video, what else do you want?

In Jingzhou, inside the Law Firm, it was already very late.

The other lawyers in the firm had already finished work and gone home; only Fang Dazhuang was still sitting in his office.

And placed in front of him was that notebook, a very ordinary notebook, with a black cover, the kind bought for a few yuan at a roadside stationery store.

"Let me see, Tao Video, Xiao Video, and the Exposure King segment team... quite a lot, aren't they? They eat human blood buns very comfortably; every single one of them is a 'big smarty'."

Fang Dazhuang muttered to himself, a very strange smile on his face.

Coupled with this lighting and this time of night, if anyone else saw him, they would subconsciously think this man with very little hair was definitely a big villain!

Fang Dazhuang was a Lawyer, a Lawyer who took money to do things; in the eyes of many, he was even a quintessential litigation shyster.

Regarding this, Fang Dazhuang would never explain, because he felt there was no need to explain; those who understood him didn't need him to explain to understand, and those who didn't understand, no matter what he did or said, would think he was just spouting nonsense.

He hadn't appeared in Zhou Yi's videos much lately, for no other reason than that as Zhou Yi's audience grew larger and his popularity higher, the name Fang Dazhuang had slowly broken out from the legal profession and the lawyer circle.

It made many people know there was a lawyer with a rather strange name who often fought rather serious lawsuits.

But at the same time, as the saying goes, "a person fears fame like a pig fears getting fat"; once Fang Dazhuang had a bit of a reputation outside the circle, the rhythm of criticism naturally followed.

Many people said, since you, Mr. Fang, are so awesome and like to be so serious, why do you still charge a Lawyer Fee?

There are so many people who need a lawyer's help and need to go through legal channels for help, why can't you go and lend a hand?

When it comes down to it, you're just trying to make money!

All that talk about ideals is just for the money.

Of course, because Fang Dazhuang's reputation was there, those who knew him wouldn't start cursing, only daring to say a few snide, sarcastic remarks.

In their eyes, you, Fang Dazhuang, must provide pro bono services for everyone who needs it, and you must win the case; only then would you have immunity from being flamed!

Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it's still not enough.

Fang Dazhuang naturally didn't care about these things, but considering Zhou Yi, he still decided to appear less in the future.

However, even if he didn't appear, those who knew his name would still know him.

The lawsuit activities in Jingnan City were already in full swing, and in Jingzhou, Fang Dazhuang was already considering a second batch of lawsuits!

That is, information-based short video apps like Tao Video, as well as segments similar to Exposure King.

Popularity is something that never appears out of thin air; that Wang Jiajia's video could suddenly go viral was indeed pushed by people intentionally.

Fang Dazhuang was very clear that in this matter, besides those "walking five hundred thousands," there were also apps and information programs like Tao Video that ate human blood buns.

This is an extremely novel type of information program that has developed alongside short videos!

Its segments range from thirty seconds to three minutes, but they all use a combination of video and text to explain a hot topic in the shortest possible time.

Compared to traditional reporting, this kind of news wants to grab the audience's attention at first glance, so naturally, they use whatever is most sensational.

Everyone talks about how the editors of the UC Shock Department were back in the day, but no matter how the media industry develops and how its forms of expression break through, if you look closely, you will find the core is still the same core.

For example, with Wang Jiajia's matter, they reported it directly after discovering it.

It's just that Wang Jiajia said she was followed and had her door knocked on by a black-cab driver, and then she was very scared.

Originally, Wang Jiajia was already exaggerating the facts, and Tao Video, on the basis of what Wang Jiajia said, made an even more exaggerated but more eye-catching description!

That is the "late-night pervert follows young woman with intent to commit misconduct" that many people previously took as evidence, and in the video, they used text to introduce that the man was suspected of having obscene actions on the road.

This is also one of the reasons why Pusa Xiong was cursed to death by many people at the beginning.

Tao Video used these points to attract popularity and traffic, but after the matter reversed and Wang Jiajia released an apology video, they didn't say a word, only deleting the relevant video.

Along with Tao Video, there were others like Exposure King, all with the same tone; relying on an incomplete video plus language and text descriptions, they could attract people's eyes and get sufficient traffic.

Looking at the time, it was already past one in the morning, and Fang Dazhuang dialed Zhou Yi's phone.

"How is it? Did the other side say anything?"

On this end of the phone, Zhou Yi hadn't slept either, shaking his head and saying: "No, they don't pay any attention at all, and what's more, they have already blocked Pusa Xiong's account."

"Not only that, now as long as you post 'Jingnan City web novel author' or the three characters 'Wang Yanhao' under their videos, you will be blocked."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi already wanted to shake his head.

He had been disgusted by people like Ling Jie before, and at the time he felt that these so-called internet celebrities who took money to help people smooth things over were the trash of the trash.

But after a detailed understanding of this type of video, he suddenly felt that compared to these platforms, Ling Jie's stuff was just child's play.

How do these similar platforms make money? Simple!

Give me money, and I can expose some juicy gossip you want, or give me money, and I can delete the juicy gossip you don't want exposed.

And this juicy gossip can even be customized!

That is to say, you think these new-era media still have the integrity of media professionals, but little do you know, when they do this, their brains are full of business.

After learning the situation from Fang Dazhuang, Pusa Xiong tried to contact platforms like Tao Video, telling them that the videos they posted had committed a Tort, asking them to stop and to compensate and apologize.

In the message sent, Pusa Xiong provided his identity proof, proving that he was the so-called pervert in the series of reports.

As a result, he didn't expect that they wouldn't pay any attention to him at all; the message sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, and calling them was even more useless—at first they would answer, but later they just said, "We've already deleted the video, what else do you want?" and then directly blocked him!

At the time, it made Pusa Xiong so angry he almost smashed his new phone.

"The second batch is these; I have collected and organized a total of three apps, plus four short video segment teams. They all added fuel to the fire during the reposting process. Their treatment naturally cannot be put together with those small fry from before."

"I'm going to Jingnan City the day after tomorrow, and I will bring the relevant materials. Then you have that little brother prepare to file a complaint. These people who eat human blood buns think that paying a little money will make it okay?"

This is the difference between facing a Company and facing an individual.

For an individual, paying money still has some restraint on them, but for this kind of Company, paying a little money doesn't count for anything at all.

Just like those internet giants before, you have to let them feel the power of the iron fist.

…………

The comrades at the Jingnan City Court have had a very profound understanding of "007" during this period.

Go home? What is that? The unit is my home.

It really feels like there is endless work and endless materials to process, but fortunately, the results are very good. After making the grassroots staff suffer a bit more, finally, this batch of cases began to go through the process.

Going through the process means notifying the parties involved; among them, those going through Criminal Private Prosecution need to notify the Public Security Bureau to arrest people, and those going through Civil Litigation must have a Summons served.

It is just that because the number of people is truly too large and the scale is too vast, this service process is also extremely cumbersome.

But fortunately, everything is developing in a positive direction, and with the precedent from Jingzhou City before, the superiors in Jingnan City, namely the Luzhou Propaganda Department, have likewise decided to publicize this large-scale litigation.

You Jingzhou City are the provincial capital, acting all high and mighty; when you did that publicity back then, from top to bottom, the Political and Legal System and the propaganda sector were all praised by Handong Province in various ways.

There was even praise from the Imperial Capital, commending them for truly achieving the rule of law and truly managing to combine trial work with legal education.

Just from that one time, Jingzhou City has been riding high in the province for so long.

But now, we in Luzhou are going to do it too!

What, Jingzhou can do it, but we in Luzhou cannot?

And look at that time in your Jingzhou, only a few hundred people, what does that count for? Small-minded. Look at us this time, look at this formation!

Whenever Bu Zhuren thinks about it, he just feels he is a tiny bit tired, and his hair has fallen out a tiny bit more—small matters.

At this moment, he is discussing with comrades from the Propaganda Department how to publicize it to maximize the effect.

Last time, it seems the other side hired an internet celebrity named A Yi; his video style was also very well-matched with the whole event.

So, should he imitate that this time as well...

While Bu Zhuren was still busy working and thinking in his office, the office door was knocked on.

"Director, Director, they are here again!"

The staff member knocking on the door had a look of horror on their face.

"Who? Here again? Who is here? Speak clearly. This is a Court, don't be so jumpy."

Bu Zhuren feels that these young people are all quite capable of pulling all-nighters when working, but they just lack composure.

"Sigh, you had better come and see for yourself."

Still playing coy, Bu Zhuren stood up and walked toward the lobby; he simply did not believe that anyone would dare come to the Court to cause trouble.

"I'm telling you, Xiao Lv, in our line of work, the biggest taboo is being impatient and restless; one must be steady, must... why is it them again?"

It turned out that the group of people in front of the filing window were all stunned.

It was still the same group that had initiated the large-scale litigation before, but they had already filed so many lawsuits, why were they here again?

Subconsciously glancing behind them, fortunately, there were no sacks, but that huge bag also looked a bit dizzying.

Taking a deep breath, although this litigation had been designated by those above to be heavily publicized and counted as a real performance achievement, but still, if you eat too much candy, you'll get sick of it, right!

It's just that since they are already here, what else can he do? With evidence complete, you cannot refuse to file a case for someone.

But it is a bit strange, there is one more person than before, and the one in front has a bit less hair.

"Mr. Wang? Mr. Zhou? Are you here to file a lawsuit again?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Yes, comrade, we are here to conduct the second batch of filings."

Fang Dazhuang arrived in Jingnan City yesterday, and this morning, the group came to the Court.

Legal aid of this kind actually relies on a single breath to charge forward; once that breath is leaked, wanting to continue is tough.

Unless you are like a certain handsome guy who has activated cheats.

Bu Zhuren waved his hand, letting the others take the evidence to begin review, while he picked up the Indictment.

Unlike before, most of the lawsuits this time are against companies; of course, those pursuing Criminal Private Prosecution are targeting the people within these companies who posted the corresponding videos!

Here, a concept needs to be clarified: the subject of Defamation is a general subject; only a natural person who has reached the age of criminal responsibility and possesses the capacity for criminal responsibility can be called a subject of Defamation.

An entity cannot serve as the subject of Defamation.

So that is the current situation of the lawsuit: if a video release involves information of a defamatory nature and reaches the standard of Defamation, you can initiate a Criminal Private Prosecution against the publisher of the video or the person who requested its release.

For example, if it was someone inside the other party's company who decided to post the video, you can initiate a Criminal Private Prosecution against them; in short, charges like Defamation and Insult must point to a natural person.

As for the entity itself, you can initiate a Tort claim for damages.

Then the question arises: how to determine the specific person who decided to release the video?

This involves another concept: for situations like online defamation and online insult, if an individual initiates a Criminal Private Prosecution and truly has difficulty collecting evidence, the Court can let the Public Security Bureau help.

This is the layman's way of putting it; after all, for an individual, there are many things you have no way to obtain.

Especially when it involves the internet.

There is a whole set of procedures for this, and Fang Dazhuang is not omnipotent, so his evidence only needs to prove two chains of evidence.

One is that the video was definitely released by Tao Video, and the other is to prove that the video has indeed caused defamation and insult to Wang Yanhao and has reached the standard of a crime!

Then, file an application for the Public Security Bureau to be responsible for finding the specific personnel and carrying out arrests!

Both criminal and civil, and also requiring the cooperation of the Public Security Bureau—the vitality had already left Bu Zhuren's face.

This is a case to be publicized, a case to be used as a performance achievement; the Court must handle it extremely solidly, and... the efficiency cannot be low either.

Jingnan City Court began a second round of frantic overtime and finally filed the case.

During this time, Zhou Yi and the others were not in a hurry, and with Pusa Xiong leading them, they had a great time playing in Jingnan City.

The fish here is very fresh, the scenery is excellent, and it is a tourist city that ranks among the best in the country.

And under such circumstances, finally, the Court's service work began, and the Public Security Bureau's "invitation to return" work was also about to start.

Modu, it is still that extremely magical Modu.

This is an ordinary Small Residential District, but placed in the territory of Modu, even if it is ordinary, the price is still much higher than in other places.

And inside a room, Liu Hongjun's children are celebrating his birthday, or what is also called a longevity celebration.

Liu Hongjun is already sixty years old this year, but he still looks very young, not to mention that he is extremely skilled at playing with mobile phones and computers.

"Dad, just drink this glass, drink a little less, hey, tell Xuanxuan not to run around!" Liu Hongxia, Liu Hongjun's daughter, who is also almost forty this year, smiled.

Just as she was about to say something else, she heard someone knocking on the door.
