Chapter 938: Chapter 515: Just Exposed, Immediately Blocked and Throttled (Please Subscribe)_2

"Keep following this news!"

"Why is a state-owned forest farm leased to a private company?"

"This Jiangjiu Group is quite well-known domestically, aren’t they? How could they do such a thing?"

"We must get to the truth of this matter! Thorough investigation!"

"To plant grapes and make red wine for enjoyment, they can do such unconscionable acts?"

"The Huangcheng Forestry Department is definitely involved!"

"I’m really so angry!"

"Generations have worked hard to plant these eco-protection forests for sand prevention and control, and now they’ve just been cut down; it breaks my heart to see this!"

Very quickly.

In the comments section below the news, many netizens who had seen the news expressed their anger and condemnation.

After all, who wouldn’t be furious about something like this?

Because the eco-protection forests belong to all the people of Xia Country, they have made tremendous contributions to protecting against sandstorms and preventing the expansion of deserts.

Those eco-protection forests that we once took pride in have now been cut down and burned, and the former forest land has become a grapevine trellis.

Within five minutes of Tian Jinliang and the others’ news exposure report coming out, several hundred people had already seen the news.

After ten minutes.

Thousands of people were paying attention to the news.

But a thousand people, in terms of the entire vast internet, is still too few.

If the attention is too low, it’s basically impossible to generate any heat, and without heat, it won’t draw more attention from the people or from those above.

Tian Jinliang and his team were monitoring the number of news views in real-time.

On the Toutiao Public Account Platform, the news had been viewed nearly 20,000 times within half an hour.

On TikTok and Twitter, after the short news piece was posted, a topic was also created, but the heat of the topic was only around 70,000 to 80,000, not as explosive as imagined.

It was clear that the news reports coming from Tian Jinliang and their school news subscription were not receiving much attention.

Even the heat generated on Twitter was less than that of a tier-eighteen young male star’s fashion choice for the day!

The most critical thing is!

When Tian Jinliang refreshed his news post again, he found that the news had already been blocked on Twitter!

"This is absurd!"

Tian Jinliang exclaimed, "The short news on Twitter has been censored, claiming the news is suspected of spreading rumors?"

"What? Spreading rumors?"

"Twitter is really shameless, aren’t they?"

"Penguin can also block the news we posted on Twitter?"

"Bitch is really shameless!"

"They must have been paid off."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao, Wang Xiaoping, and Peng Hui were all very angry.

Twitter is indeed a place where you can make it trending with money, remove the trending status with money, delete comments with money, and block tweets with money.

"Sigh, that’s a basic move for Twitter; surely Q Entertainment Media gave them a hefty sum."

Tian Jinliang shook his head helplessly, "We posted two articles; the short blog post was blocked, and the long news article must have been throttled."

"Twitter is really trashy!"

"Liang, we should hurry up and tell Principal Ding about this."

"Yeah, yeah, otherwise with just our news subscription channel, we’re definitely not going to be able to expose it."

The others suggested.

"Alright!"

Tian Jinliang nodded, then took out his phone and called Principal Ding.

...

Mist City Arts and Science University.

Administration Building Principal’s Office.

Ding Yue was looking at the news that had appeared on the internet, which was the exposure reported by Tian Jinliang and the others, but he noticed that the attention indeed seemed a bit low, and he wasn’t sure what was going on.

"Why is the attention on TikTok so low too?"

Ding Yue muttered to himself.

Just then, his phone started ringing.

"Hello, Principal Ding, I think Jiangjiu Group must have seen the exposure we posted and then taken action."

Over the phone, Tian Jinliang spoke anxiously.

"I can see that the news reports you posted on TikTok are being restricted, how are things on Twitter?"

However, Ding Yue seemed relatively calm as he inquired about the situation on Twitter.

"One tweet was blocked for ’suspected of spreading rumors,’ and another was restricted; in total, there are only a few hundred views," Tian Jinliang said helplessly.

"Well, I’ll be damned."

Ding Yue had never expected that the platforms under Twitter Group and the agency with the word count control could actually "obey" the Penguin Group.

It must be that Q Entertainment Media did some public relations over there, right?

And they must have spent a pretty penny?

The news had only been exposed for half an hour, and it was already being blocked and restricted.

It seems that what Chen Xuejun from Jiangjiu Group told Tian Jinliang was true; he really could make the news they released sink without a trace.

Looking at it now, it indeed didn’t even stir up a splash.

"Tian Jinliang, don’t be discouraged. We’ve only just been suppressed in the first step, after all. Having you release the news on the subscription account was just to see how fast they would act. It seems they’re quite swift."

Ding Yue said to Tian Jinliang’s team with a composed demeanor.

It is essential for the students in their teams to maintain a stable mindset at this time.

After all, being in the field of news media and discovering such darkness before even graduating, finding that the news they exposed doesn’t even get the chance to see the light of day, would be utterly despairing, wouldn’t it?

To do news is to expose all the dark filth to the light of day, thereby allowing the light to purify the shadows and dirt!

But the situation now is that the dark filth that was uncovered doesn’t get a chance to be exposed to the light of day.

The news that Tian Jinliang and his team reported on can’t be seen by the wider web audience at all.

This indeed deals a heavy blow.

"Mm-hmm, Principal Ding, do you have any other methods?"

Though Tian Jinliang felt powerless, he believed Principal Ding definitely had other ways.

After all, he was just a university student majoring in news media with very limited resources and connections, but Principal Ding was different. Tian Jinliang was convinced that Principal Ding was a man of great influence.

Moreover, Principal Ding was known for his integrity and respectability; there must still be a chance for this news.

"Let’s move on to the second step. Your press release will be exposed and published by the official account of our university!"

Ding Yue said to Tian Jinliang with firm composure.

"Great, that’s just fantastic. The traffic from our school’s official account is much higher!"

Tian Jinliang exclaimed, visibly elated upon hearing this.

Their school’s subscription account they operated had only 210,000 followers, and with the limitations and blocks on major platforms, it didn’t seem very prominent.

But the official account of Mist City Arts and Science University was different.

For instance, on Twitter, the official account of Mist City Arts and Science University had several million followers.

And there was also the TikTok account of Mist City Arts and Science University, with millions of followers as well.

With Principal Ding getting involved this time, there was definitely a chance to expose the news about Huangcheng Forest Farm!

"Alright, wait for my message."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue then turned to his secretary, Wen Ruohan, and said, "Xiao Wen, contact Director Liu from the Public Relations Department and ask her to bring all her staff over, and don’t forget to bring all the computer equipment!"

"Certainly, Principal Ding!"

At those words, Wen Ruohan felt a surge of fiery enthusiasm.

This was like a war on the internet without the smoke of gunfire.

And with Principal Ding’s order, the online war between Mist City Arts and Science University and Jiangjiu Group, and even with Q Entertainment Media, had officially commenced.

One side sought to expose the incident at Huangcheng Forest Farm.

And the other side aimed to prevent the news of the incident from escalating!

"Jiangjiu Group and Q Entertainment Media react quickly with their PR, and even Twitter and TikTok can be influenced by Q Entertainment Media’s PR moves. It looks like this time it will be a race against speed," Ding Yue murmured to himself, then looked toward his robotic assistant Big White and said, "Big White, later you help me monitor the situation of our news release online, and see how long it takes Q Entertainment Media to start their PR actions."

"Understood, Principal!"

Big White responded.

After speaking, Ding Yue made another phone call to his two buddies, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, to come over.

He needed Huang Youjie for his expertise on the relevant legal issues.

And as for Bin,

Bin could provide hacker technical support.

Moreover, this was the first time Mist City Arts and Science University engaged in a "big battle" on the internet with Q Entertainment Media, renowned for their powerful PR. It would be too much of a pity not to invite two buddies to witness it.
