Qiao Mu, an associate professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, who last month revealed entertainment star He Jiong had long left his job at the university yet remained on its payroll, has since been continually harassed by He's fans, some of whom have even threatened to assault him and rape his daughter. Comments:
It might be hard for the online platforms, even the authorities, to discover out who has been harassing Qiao. However, the online platform operators can at least do something by deleting the messages that contain threats and prohibiting the users from sending any messages again.
