What is the verdict of the first case of domestic WeChat unsealing?

On August 27, 2020, the first case of WeChat unsealing in China was heard. The court sentenced the defendant to one year and six months in prison and fined him 10,000 yuan for helping cyber crimes, and sentenced the defendant Zhang to one year and two months in prison and fined him 10,000 yuan. But isn't it normal to unseal WeChat for others? Why is it a crime to unseal WeChat for others?

The defendant Gao and Zhang are lovers. They started their business at school and set up a super studio to unblock WeChat accounts for others. At first, they just started their business as college students, but they didn't expect to break the law. Later, when they learned that the other party was blocked by fraud and other activities, they still unsealed others. Gradually, college students started their own businesses and broke the law. During the period, the unsealed WeChat account involved more than 300 frauds, involving an amount of 960,000 yuan.

As soon as this news came out, netizens talked about it. Why is it illegal to unseal micro signals for others? According to the official explanation, because its unsealed micro-signal involves many frauds and involves a large amount, it is definitely illegal. In fact, this incident has also reminded many college students to start their own businesses. If the legal consciousness is weak, some things that are considered normal will be violated invisibly. Therefore, college students must know more about all kinds of information when starting a business, and never do anything illegal or criminal. Once caught, their bright future will be ruined, and their lives will be remembered as disgraceful and unworthy.

Many netizens also feel sorry for Gao and Zhang, a couple who have a bright future and are actively involved in college students' entrepreneurship. This is also a good time for them to be young. It is not worth the loss to go to jail for unblocking WeChat for fraudsters. They could have made great efforts in their own professional fields, but now they stumbled from the beginning. Fortunately, they are still young, and everything can be started from scratch. I hope they can turn over a new leaf and take a warning step by step after this incident.
