On May 7, "returning home next week" Jia Yueting's IP address was Beijing, which triggered a heated discussion. For a time, netizens expressed surprise: is president Jia back? In fact, behind this is the business of IP territory. Recently, major Internet platforms have launched the "IP dependency" function one after another. Many netizens found that the IP territories of the home pages of self media accounts such as "so and so's mother is in the United States" and "Xiao Mou is in the UK" are mostly in China, including Henan Province, Hunan Province and other places. Relevant microblogs such as local food, drink and play information have also been found by netizens. Most of the IP territories are Hunan, not "all over the country".
Many online jokes such as "online popularity hiding" and "people are revealing their fillings" also came into being. Not only that, the black and gray products behind them also surfaced. On May 6, the shell finance reporter of the Beijing News found that the IP territorial agent has become a hot business. On the Internet platforms such as idle fish, some sellers said they can provide the paid change service of IP address.
On May 7, the shell finance reporter of the Beijing News found that the idle fish had been taken off the shelves and some links to change IP services were provided. The shell finance reporter of Beijing News searched for relevant keywords such as "IP address" and "IP ownership" in leisure fish, and showed that there were no relevant commodity links. But related services are still being provided. At the same time, for some network practitioners, it is easy to change their place of ownership.
The IP ownership change service is still on sale after shielding. The seller said that some platforms can't be changed
At the end of April, Weibo fully opened the IP dependency function. By may, the IP dependency function of the head Internet content platform was basically opened. Many netizens found that most of the IP dependencies of self media account home pages such as "so and so's mother is in the United States" and "Xiao Mou is in the United Kingdom" are in China, Henan Province, Hunan Province and other places. Netizens ridiculed, "the name is studying abroad, and the person is in the motherland".
At the same time, microblogs related to local food, drink and play information were also found by netizens that the IP territory was inconsistent with the name. Some microblog netizens posted posts to expose a group of bloggers who pretended to be Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou city information. Although the posting content was food, drink and play in Beijing, the IP showed that their posting address was in Hunan. The shell finance reporter of the Beijing News randomly clicked some microblogs, some of which were consistent with the name and some were different, For example, the "Chongqing food, drink and life" account has an IP address of Beijing.

Some people believe that the inconsistency between the account content and the territory may be related to the location of the account operating company, but many netizens still believe that such "inconsistency" cannot be accepted. Many we media began to take the initiative to change the IP ownership, and the business experience behind the change of ownership also surfaced.
On May 6, the shell finance reporter of the Beijing News found that on a second-hand e-commerce platform, search with "IP" as the keyword, and many options that can change the IP address of mobile phones or computers jumped out.
When the reporter asked whether to support the change of microblog IP territory in the interview yesterday, a merchant told the reporter that it supports the change of IP territory. The IP price of each device (computer and mobile phone) is as low as 12 yuan, and two devices can be sold from now on. On May 7, the relevant commodity links of the merchant were removed from the shelves.
However, on May 7, the shell finance reporter of the Beijing news still contacted a number of idle fish related sellers. The sellers said that they still provided relevant IP territorial change services. Some merchants' commodity links were off the shelf, but buyers can still contact directly.
A merchant said that the flight mode of providing dynamic IP switch can jump randomly, and said that "all studio numbers can be" used. Some merchants said today that Tencent's business is not "blocked", but microblog headlines can also provide services.
Reporters through the platform point into the seller's home page to communicate with the seller.
Multiple sellers still exist as communication and network studios on idle fish, providing services such as traffic recharge and dynamic IP.

A senior network security practitioner told the shell finance reporter of the Beijing news that the principle of IP territorial change provided by some sellers is to use VPN. "It is to build an address pool everywhere. These addresses can change in turn, but they will change relative to the users. It is possible to dial in Xi'an now and Shanghai next time".
An Internet practitioner also showed the results of rapid territorial change to the shell finance reporter of the Beijing News. The person is located in Beijing. In a short time, he showed the shell finance reporter of the Beijing news a number of places of ownership changed through technical means.
The above personnel showed the reporter the changed IP address.
Internet protocol address is a unique address of internet protocol. It is a unified address format provided by IP protocol. IP address assigns a logical address to each network and host on the Internet to shield the difference of physical address. Proxy IP is an intermediate platform in the process of surfing the Internet. The local computer accesses the proxy IP first, and then the proxy IP accesses the target website page.
Shell finance of Beijing news still has a large number of advertising and operating companies in Baidu search for IP agents and dynamic IP. Taobao and pinduoduo also have service product links related to dynamic IP and IP change. All businesses provide IP services, including static and dynamic proxy IP, and support computers, mobile phones, simulators and other devices. There are payment modes such as annual, monthly and daily rent.

Recently, Weibo has fully launched the IP territorial function, that is, it is displayed to provinces / regions in China and to countries in foreign countries. Users cannot turn off this function. Subsequently, wechat, today's headlines, Tiktok, xiaohongshu, Kwai, Zhihu and other platforms also successively launched the function of "personal homepage showing account IP possession".
Sina Weibo announced that in order to reduce bad behaviors such as pretending to be the Party of a hot event, malicious rumors and rubbing traffic, and ensure the authenticity and transparency of the communication content, it launched the user's "IP territory" function in March this year, and fully opened comments to show the function of issuing comments; The first level page of the online personal home page displays the IP dependency function.
On April 29, wechat announced that in order to maintain the network communication order and further crack down on counterfeiting, handling, rumor spreading and other acts, the wechat public platform will display the IP territory when users publish content.
Then, on the morning of April 30, Zhihu's official account issued a comprehensive online announcement to display the user's IP territory. Zhihu said that the previous answers to some questions in the station show and comment on the IP territory, and the function of displaying the IP address territory will be further upgraded.
A number of platforms said that the online IP territorial function is to maintain a real and orderly discussion atmosphere and reduce bad behaviors such as pretending to be the parties to hot events, malicious rumor, rubbing traffic and so on.
The IP address of the account displayed on the general platform is the network location when the user last sent a document or comment. It is displayed to provinces (regions and cities) in China and to countries (regions) abroad. The account IP territory is subject to the information provided by the operator, and the relevant display does not support manual opening or closing.
Xu Hao of Beijing Jingshi law firm told the shell finance reporter of the Beijing news that Article 8 of the data security law stipulates: "to carry out data processing activities, we should abide by laws and regulations, respect social ethics and ethics, abide by business ethics and professional ethics, be honest and trustworthy, fulfill the obligation of data security protection, bear social responsibility, and shall not endanger national security and public interests, or damage the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and organizations."
Using the "IP proxy" service for illegal behavior, that is, the seller's behavior is also illegal. According to Article 52 of the data security law, "those who violate the provisions of this Law and cause damage to others shall bear civil liability according to law. Those who violate the provisions of this Law and constitute a violation of public security administration shall be punished for public security administration according to law; those who constitute a crime shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.
The Ministry of Public Security announced at the "net 2021" work effectiveness press conference that it specially carried out governance for the key basic resources breeding illegal and harmful information on the Internet, such as network TV and "dynamic IP agent", investigated and dealt with 146 illegal network TV platforms in accordance with the law, shut down more than 13000 illegal broadband lines and more than 5000 broadband Internet accounts.
He believes that modifying territorial information by using proxy IP provides false and misleading information to the public. It is an act of dishonesty and still has a certain risk of violation of laws and regulations.

Internet platforms have launched IP territorial functions one after another recently, which is seen as a response to the "Qinglang" action of the Internet information office.

At the same time, all website platforms are required to strengthen the identification of various information generated by sensitive fields and sensitive events. Timely check and verify the information without authoritative sources with great influence and wide dissemination. Eliminate rumors and information in the bud and minimize the negative impact.
The relevant parties involved in the release and dissemination of rumor information will be seriously investigated.
