QQ Groups to be closed? Tencent is furious

Dear users, due to business adjustments, our company will shut down the QQ group function at 00:00 on October 31, 2014. After the QQ group function is shut down, all groups will be automatically disbanded, group spaces, group albums and group sharing related content will be permanently deleted from the server, and group membership will also be terminated. Please make a backup in advance. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Tencent

In order to cooperate with the convening of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee, actively respond to the call of the meeting to "build a harmonious network and create a harmonious society", and eliminate the impact of bad pictures on society, our company has decided to automatically delete bad QQ pictures on the server from October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, and prohibit the sending of picture messages in QQ groups. Please understand the inconvenience caused to the majority of users.

You may have seen similar rumors recently. Someone even posted a screenshot of the so-called official announcement from Tencent. Many people were scared and rushed to verify it everywhere, but if you think about it for a while, you will know how crude this rumor is.

The most speechless thing is the "Fifth Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee", which happened in 2010, while the one being held now is the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee.

The other two messages were also contradictory. One said that the photos were completely deleted, while the other said that the inappropriate photos were deleted. The word "unchanged" in the second message was a typo, which was even more unbearable to read.

Despite this, Tencent officially came out to refute the rumor. @Tencent User Service Official Weibo posted: "Recently, someone forged a screenshot of the Tencent QQ official website announcement, saying that the QQ group service will be closed on October 31, 2014. Tencent hereby clarifies that the news is a rumor. QQ group users are advised not to use it. Tencent reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility for the rumor maker."

The Internet is always full of all kinds of news, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false. But generally speaking, the more shocking, exclusive, and mysterious the news is, the more likely it is to be fake. Many rumors always reveal their flaws in the details and can be debunked with a little careful analysis. The above one is even worse than the one where Tencent will give away a certain number of Q coins if the number of times it is forwarded in the QQ group on Ma Huateng's birthday.

However, two days ago, the QQ group did have a problem with being unable to post pictures , which was close to some of the rumors, and more people who did not know the truth were terrified. Tencent explained that there was a temporary malfunction in the computer room.
