Zhihu Zhou Yuan responded to Huang Yuanpu's real name report: the anonymous function will be adjusted, and personal attacks are not welcome in the community.

According to the news on June 22, Zhou Yuan, founder of Zhihu, posted a post on moments today, responding to the real name report of Huang Yuanpu, founder of Yiou. Zhou Yuan said that in today's complex communication environment, the anonymous functional mechanism has also created more and more problems, and Zhihu will make changes.

Zhou Yuan said that he and his team are rethinking the privacy protection and benign discussion mechanism, and that specific adjustments to the anonymous function will be released in the near future.

Finally, Zhou Yuan stressed that Zhihu accepts criticism, and the community remains open to discussions about Zhihu. But the community does not welcome personal attacks and rumors, whether anonymous or non-anonymous.

On June 21, Huang Yuanpu, founder of Yiou net, released an open letter reporting Zhihu and Zhihu founder Zhou Yuan under his real name.

In response to Zhihu's anonymous reply to him, Huang Yuanpu sent a message to Zhou Yuan, saying: "can we open the counter-proof function?" if it can be proved that the anonymous user is spreading a rumor, you can publish the information of the rumor monger, which will make the anonymous posting more cautious, according to the open letter.

In the open letter, Huang Yuanpu said that what he wants is for Zhihu to make changes to the platform so that the rules of the platform are more fair and reasonable and can still be anonymous, but the real-name system + rumor-mongering accountability mechanism should be used to make rumor-mongers bear the cost. Huang Yuanpu also said that he will continue to report Zhou Yuan and Zhihu under his real name to the relevant departments until Zhihu changes the current mechanism.
