Short video platforms must be swept clean

MANY SHORT VIDEO CLIPS have gone viral on social media platforms in the past few years. But instead of concentrating on the number of views they get, short video clips should be positive and promote correct values, says People's Daily:

As early as several years ago, some analysts predicted that short video clips would be the stars of the mobile internet. Time has proved them right: A recent research report shows that the number of short video clip viewers online will reach 350 million by the end of 2018. Thanks to the huge number of viewers, it is no longer rare for one single short clip to be viewed hundreds of millions of times online.

More important, an increasing number of governmental agencies and enterprises have been joining the trend of short video clips. Some local procuratorates even make short video clips to educate people not to break the law, while a police dog team has won millions of followers with its short video clips.
