CNNIC发布了第二十一次互联网调查报告,这个报告里除了宣称中国有2亿网民外,还有两个数据引起了我的注意。 其一,中国网民的即时通信(IM软件,比如QQ)使用率达到81.4%,是仅次于网络音乐的第二大网络应用,超越了搜索引擎和电子邮件; 其二,询问网民上网做的第一件事,有39.7%的人选择了IM,是互联网第一落脚点中网民人数最多的一项。(均引自p.41) 参照国美国,即时通信使用率的情况是? 39%!

The Worst Case Scenario, in which all the following happens:1) Tibetan monks or the FLG self-immolate during the opening ceremonies.2) Foreign tourists complain about secondhand smoke, "massage" phone calls to their hotel rooms, spitting, lack of queues and price gouging.3) Domestic tourists complain about even worse price gouging. Indignant domestic visitors get mad when their tickets are revealed to be fakes.4) Wiseacre tourists pose in front of the Olympics logo re-enacting this picture. Hilarity ensues when Chinese citizens/officials get wind of it.5) Athletes complain of racial profiling and repressive security measures at the Olympic Village, though in fairness its the Chinese security apparatus trying to do their best.6) A phalanx of visitors with protest t-shirts are detained.7) Japanese athletes get harassed.8) Triathletes succumb to pollution, or controversy erupts over the US and other teams sporting breathing masks.9) Nasty poor sportsmanship rears its head when Liu Xiang doesn't win the gold.10) Afghanistan's only competing athlete misses his event due to traffic.11) African athletes get harassed in Sanlitun.12) Al Qaeda or some other nutjobs pull a Munich.

然 而,从更严肃的层面上说,我们看“艳照门”,不是要做意淫的看客,而是应该努力透过这个事件讨论一些对网络社会的发展起到重大作用的东西,比如言论自由, 比如隐私权,比如互联网的监管,这些东西全部都是极为复杂的,其解决之道应该通过一个充分的沟通过程来达成。关于如何监管,我的观点很鲜明:第一,应该尽 可能使用现有的法律,而不是匆忙通过新法律,因为法律面对新技术的发展存在一个致命的滞后期;第二,政 府如果犯错误的话,也应该犯规范过少的错误,相信互联网会逐渐更清晰地成形。在互联网提出了那么多难以解答的问题的情况下,政府未见得有最好的解决办法, 即使有,也不见得是最好的解决办法。最终,互联网也许会催生出一种新的规范方式,不那么具有强制性,而更多地相信市场的力量。
