Everyone said,The purpose of technological innovation is to promote social progressThen provide better services for people, such as reducing usage barriers, costs, and so on.

butThe innovation and evolution of television is definitely an exception. In addition to increasingly complex operations, doll-like fees also exclude users.

These two days, in theAfter the TV doll style fee was named againIQiyi TV is accused of engaging in illegal prostitution with a wide range of usersBelt.

butWhen the TV is in sleep mode, it continues to maintain an upload speed of 1-5M/s.

At first, I didn't know why, so I had to unplug the power supply.

What a scary Smart TV,Only by unplugging the power can one feel at ease after using it?This evolutionary direction has once again deviated.

The netizen, who was obsessed with finding the answer, tested it several times and found that the app that stole traffic was actually the only app installed on the newly purchased TV, iQiyi.

The user said, 'iQiyi is forcibly turned off on TV, and upload will immediately be zero.'.Indeed, it was a mischievous act of iQiyi. Damn it, I served him for freePower to power, network to network. Not kind

Subsequently, the user consulted iQiyi's customer service, who initially replied that this is an acceleration method and has no impact on usage.

Subsequently, customer service provided the operation to turn off the HCDN switch.

So what is HCDN?According to iQiyi's official website, "HCDN (HybridCDN) is a large-scale hybrid architecture online video data distribution technology developed by iQiyi's technical team. This technology adopts a scheduling architecture of hybrid CDN and P2P nodes.

At the same time, iQiyi's user agreement also mentions that in order to improve users' service experience, they will adopt a series of technical measures to optimize products and/or services, including improving CDN node distribution scheduling, using proprietary HCDN peer-to-peer networks, and other technical measures to improve video distribution quality.

However, for the official explanation,Most netizens do not approve.

For example, some netizens believe, "This is being prostituted for nothingIQiyi asked you to work for him on TV

Another netizen said, "This is a move by iQiyi client to transfer server pressure to the client, using the user terminal as iQiyi's PCDN server, so it will continue to perform upload tasks in the background

'APPP2PbutP2PbutWhen I didn't open the app at the front desk, I was still uploading it, which is Pcdn

Some netizens also said, "IQiyi's HCDN has won the second prize of the 2017 CCF Science and Technology Award for Technological Invention

The full name of PCDN is P2PCDN, which is currently known as cloud services. Specifically, it refers to buffering the content of a user's video viewing (download), which means uploading and distributing the buffered storage of their video viewing to other users who are watching. This improves the problem of congestion caused by thousands of users downloading from a certain video merchant server.

The key thing about Qiyi is that it is not authentic; The other person has already closed it from the front desk, and it has not yet deleted the buffered (temporary storage) content, and is still occupying user resources to serve itAnd it may occupy storage for a long time, as long as the user boots up, the user's machine uploads videos. It is also possible to perform backend monitoring of user behavior set for uploading, such as listening, checking stored content, and so on

At present, this topic has entered the Zhihu Hot List, and as of now, the post has nearly 4000 likes.

At the same time, this topic has also become a hot topic on Weibo after it sparked heated discussions. On Weibo, a large number of netizens have been discussing the incident.

'IQiyi is a company that falls into the eyes of money and never respects usersInstead, they often use customers, including those who use covert means to infringe on their rights without their consent

'hhhh----

'Is it considered theft to secretly use user bandwidth resources without permission?

However, as of now, iQiyi officials have not provided further response to this matter.

It is worth noting that while discussing iQiyi, netizens have also expressed that it seems normal to close apps and still run traffic on smart terminals such as smartphones and televisions.

PC'

This plan allows users participating in it to share their small amount of idle network bandwidth and computer storage space, contributing to the speed of network disk transmission. At the same time, users will be rewarded with points provided by Baidu Wangpan, which can be exchanged for prizes such as Baidu Wangpan super members, iQIYI VIP monthly cards, fast download coupons, etc.

This reward plan will consume up to 1MB/s of upload bandwidth for transferring files to other users, while also occupying up to 5GB of local space.

but'

The move is alleged to be that Baidu Wangpan is letting other users download files with the help of users' upload bandwidth, essentially reducing the pressure on their own servers.

So, whether these similar operations are reasonable and where the controversy lies may require professional answers from relevant institutions.

As the saying goes, technological innovation is a double-edged sword. If users win, it will be controversial if not used well.

Of course, for service providers iQiyi,These controversial technology applications and services should not only be placed in dense user agreements, but also have more obvious remindersLet users be as informed as possible and provide them with as many choices as possible.
