Abstract

In the post-truth era, all kinds of rumours keep appearing, reversing, and reversing again. In fact, the emergence of such public opinion events is rooted in the conflict between citizens' vigorous demand for the right to freedom of expression and the stable development of public order. Although it has, to a certain extent, played a role in searching for the truth and exerting the power of citizens' supervision, and promoted the balance between exercising citizens' right to freedom of expression and safeguarding the public interest, the reversal of public opinion has also led to the irreversible damage to citizens' right to privacy, right to reputation, and the credibility of the government, among others. The damage cannot be ignored. Through collating literature and collecting information on the Internet to retrace the process of the incident, we have studied the problems and causes of online public opinion and its governance in China, and explored how public authorities can effectively manage rumours and enhance the credibility of the government.
