[instiz] BAIDU'S VICE PRESIDENT "MY DAUGHTER SPREAD PERSONAL INFORMATION OF PEOPLE WHO DEFAMED JANG WONYOUNG...APOLOGY"

The vice president of Baidu, China's largest search portal company, publicly apologized after reports on the 18th by Chinese media revealed that his daughter had spread personal information of netizens who defamed Jang Wonyoung of the idol group IVE.

Xie Guangjun (謝廣軍), the vice president of Baidu, wrote in a post on Weibo (the Chinese version of X) the previous day, saying, "My 13-year-old daughter got into an argument with someone online, and after failing to control her emotions, she shared personal information of others on her overseas social media account."

He added, "As a father, I failed to teach her the importance of protecting others' and individuals' privacy in a timely manner," and expressed, "I deeply feel remorse and solemnly apologize to those who were affected."

Vice President Xie stated that he had talked with his daughter and reprimanded her, urging netizens not to spread personal information.

Earlier, there was a stir on Weibo after a woman and other netizens launched a cyberattack against a pregnant woman who had posted criticism of Jang Wonyoung. This woman was known to have spread the personal information of nearly 100 netizens, including the pregnant woman.

The woman claimed she wasn't afraid of police reports as she was in Canada and boasted that her father held a high position at Baidu.

It was revealed that she was the daughter of Xie Guangjun after other netizens found pictures on Weibo of online orders, a certificate of employment, and a payslip showing a salary of 220,000 yuan (around 44 million KRW) with the name "Xie Guangjun."

Xie Guangjun joined Baidu in 2010 and was promoted to vice president during the spring promotions of 2021.

According to Chinese criminal law, selling or providing personal information to others can result in a sentence of up to three years in prison or detention, as well as a fine, depending on the severity of the case.

If someone publicly insults another person online, they could be fined up to 500 yuan (about 10,000 KRW) or face detention of up to five days.

Chinese netizens have pointed out that personal information appears to have been leaked through Baidu's database, expressing concerns about Baidu's security vulnerabilities.

1. A disgruntled Wonyoung fan makes a post complaining about Starship and how they handled Wonyoung's Paris Fashion Week schedules. Mostly about how she basically arrived and left on the same day. So she had back-to-back 12 hour flights.

2. The pregnant woman quotes the post saying well she's flying first class so it's really not that bad it's not like she's flying the plane herself.

3. Her personal information proceeds to get leaked including things like her work location and phone number.

4. Screenshots come out of Wonyoung's fans messaging her husband asking if he knows that his wife is trash talking him online. Then they keke with eachother and say that they hope the husband beats the pregnant woman. Basically all kinds of verbally abusive shit towards the woman and her family.

5. Naturally, non-fans are confused as to why the fuck they doxxed her and are acting batshit insane over such a harmless comment. They even go through the account of the pregnant woman to see if she has history of posting "mean" comments about Wonyoung only to find older reposts of her complimenting Wonyoung calling her pretty, etc. so she clearly wasn't a hardcore anti to warrant such a reaction either.

6. Online detectives find the account of the person who doxxed her and this dumbass kid was boasting about how she was able to get the information because of her parents' connections and was even sharing official documents regarding her father's employment and income. They also found out that she's doxxed several other people. They follow the digital trail she left online to come to find out that she's the daughter of the Baidu VP. (Think of Baidu as the Chinese equivalent of Google.)
7. Word spread about this and as it started gaining attention, people naturally raised questions about Baidu's data security. Why does his reactive 13 year old daughter have access to basically the entire country's personal information?

If this is true, then people really praising this spoiled brat
