Relevant departments responded quickly to punish rumor mongering and rumor spreading through authoritative information release, inter-departmental law enforcement and other initiatives in accordance with the law, and continued to build a clear line of defense in cyberspace.
Social hotspot rumors disrupt order. A number of self-published media aimed at topics of public concern, focusing on social hotspots such as education exams, culture and sports, and transportation, fabricating false information and disrupting the social order.In June, a critical juncture for the midterm and college entrance exams, rumors about exams for higher education and employment and recruiting emerged in an endless stream. Some people spread "2025 college entrance examination answers", forged "college entrance examination paper", seriously misleading candidates and parents, "candidates cheated on the college entrance examination parents with money", "AI supervised the examination and found the candidates cheating", "AI supervised the examination and found the candidates cheating on the college entrance examination". Rumors such as "AI supervisors found 0 points for cheating in the college entrance examination" are even more empty, disrupting the order of recruitment and examination. In terms of transportation, rumors such as "from July 1, the elderly have new rules for taking the train, and they can buy tickets at a discount" and "Urumqi 2-road car charges by the second" are fictional fabrications that distort and misinterpret the public travel policy, and are widely disseminated on the Internet, resulting in a bad impact. In addition, rumors such as "a takeaway rider in Guangzhou 'died suddenly'" and "Guizhou's 'Village Super League' was called off by the Football Association," capitalized on the public's attention to takeaway groups and grassroots sports events to attract eyeballs and traffic without any bottom line.

Internet users should be cautious and rational to deal with all kinds of unconfirmed information on the Internet, to avoid becoming a network rumor "second hand".
In June, many parts of the country entered the flood season, and the continuous heavy rainfall led to frequent waterlogging, flooding and other natural disasters, and some netizens took the opportunity to spread false information, such as the fabrication of "Lanshan County, Yongzhou, Hunan Province, extremely heavy rainfall caused cars to be washed away", "Nanping, Fujian Province, Jian'ou, Fangdao Town, serious waterlogging", "Urumqi, Nanshan Banfanggou sudden flash floods", "Rongjiang, Guizhou, flooding caused 13 deaths and 2 people are connected", "Dehong, Yunnan Province, flooding caused 13 deaths and 2 people are connected". Waterlogging" "Urumqi Nanshan Banfanggou flash floods" "Rongjiang floods in Guizhou caused 13 deaths and 2 people are missing" "Yunnan Dehong suffered serious flooding "False videos and graphics, such as those of the flood, either exaggerate the impact of flooding or rehash old pictures, seriously misleading the public. In addition, there are netizens fabricated major security incidents, maliciously concocted "Henan Zhumadian logistics port explosion caused 50 deaths" "Shenzhen Metro Line 11 explosion" "Sichuan Jiuzhaigou scenic area of the bus fell off a cliff accident Rumors such as "Jiuzhaigou bus crash in Sichuan Jiuzhaigou scenic area" are very likely to cause mass panic.

July, high temperatures, flood season, summer vacation superimposed, extreme weather and public safety category of inaccurate information is still easy to focus on the fermentation, the need to be more vigilant and identification of precautions.
Pseudoscience popularization misleads public perception. Some netizens take advantage of the information gap in specialized fields to misinterpret scientific concepts or disseminate wrong knowledge. The rumor "95 gasoline is more resistant to burning" takes advantage of car owners' concern about fuel consumption and confuses the concepts of gasoline grade (iso-octane ratio) and combustion efficiency, spreading false knowledge. The rumor "It is safer to hide in the car during a rainstorm" violates the principle of flood prevention and self-help, and may lead the public to make wrong choices in extreme situations, endangering their lives. It is noteworthy that recently, the Internet also appeared "rice soup can replace breast milk and formula feeding children" "plant milk can replace formula" "vegan diet can meet all the nutritional needs of pregnant women A series of rumors such as "Chinese medicine", "science", under the banner of "Chinese medicine", to promote the wrong knowledge of feeding, seriously mislead mothers and infants groups, the blogger who propagated the idea has been banned by the platform for publishing rumors.
Tip: These rumors are often closely related to daily life, hit the blind spot of netizens' knowledge, and enhance the confusion with seemingly "professional" claims. Internet users should obtain scientific information from authoritative channels to avoid being misled by false information.
