Abstract

Moments is one of the functional units of WeChat, which has many functions such as sharing information, forwarding information, spreading information, commenting information and interactive communication, etc. The privacy nature of WeChat Moments and the lag of audit cause netizens’ communication chaos such as false information, vulgarization of content, WeChat business spamming and disruption of fair competition, etc. when they disseminate information in WeChat Moments. The research finds that the main reasons for the chaos of information communication in the WeChat Moments are the communicator’s low media literacy and the audience’s weak consciousness of independent critical thinking and the imperfect management system, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the media literacy of the public, strengthen the self-discipline consciousness of individuals, and improve the management system.
