0Erinome: Hello dear friends! Welcome to our podcast. Today, let’s chat about some hot news on the internet. Enceladus, have you heard about that internet celebrity who came back to live streaming after being blocked?
Enceladus: Oh, you mean the one with the "rich guy" image? Wait, didn’t he get in trouble before?
Erinome: Exactly! His old name was "Bogongzi". He was blocked because he often showed off his wealth—like posting luxury cars, expensive things, and first-class trips around the world. And later, he was found evading 7.49 million yuan in taxes, so he got a big fine of 13.3 million yuan. But now, he’s back!
Enceladus: Wow, really? How did he come back? Didn’t the platform block him?
Erinome: He changed his account name to "Wangzibo" and started live streaming again. In November, he did more than 19 live shows and got 230,000 fans already. But the platform said, "No! Blocked hosts can’t come back with new accounts."
Enceladus: Oh no, so why did he still do it? Netizens must be angry, right?
Erinome: Totally! Netizens say, "No way!" A clean internet space won’t allow this either. You know, showing off wealth like that isn’t good for public morals—it crosses moral lines. And evading taxes? That’s breaking the law!
Enceladus: Right! I remember there’s a "Code of Conduct for Online Hosts". It says hosts must pay taxes legally. If they have serious problems and don’t change, block their accounts and put them on a "blacklist"—they can’t come back with new accounts or new platforms.
Erinome: Exactly! Public figures with many fans have a duty to spread positive energy, show truth and kindness. If they cross moral or legal lines but still make money online… that’s unfair to everyone, right?
Enceladus: Sad, that’s true. It sends the wrong message, especially to young people. Like, "Break rules, but you can still get rich." That’s bad for the internet environment.
Erinome: And it’s not just "Bogongzi". There’s another one, "Dongbei Yujie", who sold fake goods and got blocked, but tried to come back too. These "comeback dramas" show there are holes in the rules.
Enceladus: Hmm, why? The platforms say they don’t allow it, but…
Erinome: Oh, because platforms are worried about losing traffic and money. So sometimes they "close one eye and open one eye". Like "Wangzibo" got 230k fans and did 19 live shows before people questioned—then the platform started checking. They don’t have good ways to find these accounts early.
Enceladus: Oh right! And different platforms have different rules. The blacklist isn’t connected everywhere. So blocked hosts can just go to another platform, like playing hide and seek.
Erinome: Exactly! But it’s not about "blocking forever no matter what". We need clear rules: what can come back after fixing, what must be blocked forever. Like tax evasion, selling fake goods, or bad things like porn or gambling—those should be blocked forever. Small mistakes? Maybe find a way to let them come back properly.
Enceladus: And connect the blacklist nationwide! Make it strong, so they can’t change accounts or platforms. Then these "comeback tries" won’t work.
Erinome: Yeah, that makes sense. Hope they fix these problems soon.
Enceladus: Me too. Okay, that's it for today. Let's talk again next time!
Erinome: Bye everyone!
