Are you ever worried by online mob behavior (human flesh search engines etc.) on China’s Internet?
Fauna: Of course. That is one big reason I will not give my Chinese name, do personal interviews, or show my face. I know some Chinese do not think it is good I make this website and there are some crazy people in the world. I do not want them to try to find me. Originally, I changed my gravatar [“globally recognized avatar”; explanation] for the three month anniversary of chinaSMACK (see image above): I PhotoShopped a picture of me so people could see me but not find out who I am, but I am shy and am not sure I will change it yet. Who I am or what I look like is not really important. I hope people will care more about the Chinese netizens. Ping Gao: Not really. Yeah, sometimes online mob behavior can be annoying, but it also does something good, such as people human flesh search engines help people find their lost babies back. Every thing has two sides. But I think one thing needs to be considered is people’s privacy and rights should be protected by the law. Kris Chen: I do feel bad
