Today, the platform he was on actually called him!
The moment Wen Weilin answered the call, he almost threw his phone away. His registered account mobile number was his private number, known only to his family and some close relatives and friends.
But the platform called directly, claiming to be an operator, asking if he was willing to display his real name on his account...
This was a new policy that started last year, where major platforms gradually implemented a "real-name system for Internet celebrities," meaning those with a certain standard of followers had to display their real names.
It was initially set for accounts with one million followers, but then it dropped to five hundred thousand, and it's easy to imagine that the threshold will get even lower in the future.
And at that moment, after hearing Wen Weilin's shakiness, although a bit surprised by his trembling voice, the operator still said, "That's not it; we don't make the display mandatory."
