At the beginning of 2022, Joe and Yu Bingcai published insulting and offensive content, which spread widely and their accounts were banned by the platform. On September 25th, 2023, the grandparents of Liu Xue's adoptive parents sued the media giants V "Brother Truth" and "Sister Warm", who caused bad influence in Liu Xue, hoping that through this lawsuit, netizens would pay the legal price.
This case is a typical case of cyber violence killing people invisibly.
