This article comments on Mirror Media's criticism of Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je providing students' personal information to Google, and the subsequent netizen backlash phenomenon. The author strongly criticizes how most people abandoned rational discussion and privacy protection due to 'protective Ko sentiment,' comparing blame directed at the media to the witch-hunt behavior of 'Nazi fan mentality.' The author emphasizes the core issue: 'Why couldn't we proactively ask parents for permission,' questioning why Taipei didn't require consent forms like America. Though the author personally believes sharing data with Google won't harm individuals, they strongly oppose abandoning personal rights and surrendering body and mind to an idol—a 'cult-like' behavior.
This article uses data from the Global Forest Monitor map developed by Google in cooperation with NASA to compare the forest coverage between mainland China and neighboring countries (Japan, South Korea, Russia, Taiwan). The article points out that the map displays large areas of mainland regions in low-coverage gray and yellow-earth tones, while neighboring countries show deep green. The author directly links this forest deficiency to mainland China's severe urban haze (PM2.5), land pollution, and factory waste smoke emissions environmental issues, warning about environmental destruction's severity and calling for facing reality.
