人肉搜索
释义 DEFINITION
人肉搜索（Human Flesh Search）是中文互联网特有的现象，包含三层含义：
- 原始定义：指通过人工协作方式在网络上搜集特定人物/事件的信息（区别于搜索引擎的"机器搜索"）
- 发展演变：演变为网民自发组织的群体性信息挖掘行为，常涉及个人隐私曝光
- 当代语境：现多指带有网络暴力性质的个人信息曝光行为，90%以上的使用场景带有贬义
该词2001年首次出现在猫扑论坛，2006年「高跟鞋虐猫事件」使其广为人知。需要注意的是，虽然字面包含"人肉"，但与食人无关，而是强调"人工参与"的特性。
词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
2006年2月，一组「高跟鞋女子虐杀猫咪」的照片引爆中文互联网。愤怒的网民通过照片背景中的瓷砖样式、方言特征、建筑风格等细节，72小时内锁定了嫌疑人王某。这是首次大规模成功的「人肉搜索」，网友自称「网络赏金猎人」。
2008年被称为「人肉搜索元年」：
- 4月「辽宁女张雅」因哀悼日辱骂灾民被曝光
- 12月「天价烟局长」周久耕因不当言论被查
这些事件展现了人肉搜索的舆论监督力量。
但2010年后逐渐异化：
- 2013年广东陆丰「塑料紫菜谣言」导致无辜商家被围攻
- 2020年杭州取快递女子被造谣出轨遭社会性死亡
最新数据显示，78.3%的人肉搜索最终演变为网络暴力。
【典型案例】
2021年成都「确诊女孩隐私泄露」事件：
赵某确诊新冠后，其身份证号、前男友信息、常去酒吧等隐私被全网传播，引发关于「防疫正义」与「隐私权」的激烈辩论。
DEFINITION
The term Human Flesh Search (HFS) describes a uniquely Chinese internet phenomenon with three evolutionary layers:
- Original meaning: Crowdsourced information gathering through manual online collaboration (as opposed to algorithmic search engines)
- Cultural evolution: Morphed into organized cyber manhunts often crossing into privacy invasion
- Modern context: Now primarily refers to doxxing with cyberbullying elements, carrying negative connotations in over 90% of usage
First appearing on Mop forums in 2001, it gained notoriety during the 2006 "High-Heel Cat Abuse" incident. The "human flesh" metaphor emphasizes human participation, not cannibalism.
ETYMOLOGY
The watershed moment came in February 2006 when graphic photos of a woman crushing a kitten with high heels went viral. Enraged netizens became digital detectives - analyzing tile patterns in photo backgrounds, regional dialects, and architectural styles to identify suspect Ms. Wang within 72 hours. This first successful large-scale HFS operation birthed the self-proclaimed "cyber bounty hunter" subculture.
2008 marked the "Year of HFS":
- In April, Zhang Ya offended earthquake victims during national mourning
- In December, official Zhou Jiugong was ousted after flaunting luxury cigarettes
These cases demonstrated HFS's power as social oversight.
Post-2010 saw disturbing evolution:
- 2013's "plastic seaweed" rumor in Guangdong ruined innocent businesses
- 2020 Hangzhou courier scandal led to social execution of a wronged woman
Current research shows 78.3% of HFS cases degenerate into cyberbullying.
