Sherry, a young friend of mine, suffers from insomnia (失眠) but she's found a new way to deal with her sleeplessness. Instead of tossing and turning in bed all night, she turns on the computer in her living room and connects with other night owls through a live streaming (网络直播) app. As she hums (哼曲子) pop tunes or talks about her day, people will post messages on the Internet and sometimes even send her virtual gifts.
Sherry is just one of hundreds of millions of people who have been drawn to live streaming, the hottest new trend in social media, which lets people share their lives spontaneously (自发地) in real time. Live streaming, itself, isn't new. People have been able to watch sports events and lectures live online for years. But with new apps that became more convenient in 2007, viewers can now interact with whom they see on the screen by posting questions and comments, and this has turned ordinary people, like Sherry, into stars.
However, this new trend has also drawn the attention of government regulators (政府监管机构) who are concerned about the content of some live streaming broadcasts. In April, 19 live streaming platforms were convicted (判罪) of allowing "improper" content to be broadcast. Defining "improper" content can be difficult, but generally, it means anything that has to do with politics or is considered morally harmful. And there is now a new law that requires live streaming apps to hold a license to operate and to keep records of broadcasts and on-screen comments.
My friend Sherry has nothing to fear from the government regulators. If anything, her broadcasts are extremely dull (sorry Sherry!), as are most peoples broadcasts. But dullness is a small problem compared with the bigger problem of letting strangers see too much of your personal life. You've probably been warned about giving out personal information online and the same is true with live streaming. It can be dangerous. If you're not careful, strangers can find out where you live, where you spend your free time.
A live broadcast in your living room can be fun, but remember to be safe and please, please, please... don't be dull!
