A genuine legal document circulated online, breaking many people's complacency regarding "internet management."

The story goes like this: A certain group owner was formally detained and fined in October 2025 for failing to manage illegal content effectively during his tenure as the QQ group administrator in 2022. He subsequently received a court summons on December 15. From the initial violation to legal sanctions, it took a full three years. But this time, the legal department really found him.

The core message revealed by this case is very straightforward: when you establish or manage a community, you are not an outsider. Phrases like "I don’t know" and "I wasn’t involved" are becoming less and less tenable in the face of law enforcement.

**The rules are being put into practice**

Legal provisions have actually existed for a long time - community builders and managers are responsible for regulating group behavior and managing the information published by members. However, in the past, many people regarded this as a scare tactic, and there were not many cases where it was truly implemented.

It's different now. With the upgrade of network tracing technology, the information tracing capability of law enforcement agencies has significantly improved, and "there are laws to follow" is turning into "every case must be investigated." For managers, this is no longer a distant threat.

In the emerging ecosystems of the crypto community, DAOs, and social economies, this trend deserves more attention. Anyone who builds or maintains a community should be clear: you are providing not just a chat space, but you are taking on real management responsibilities.

Coming to your door in three years, and this time it's real... Group owners should wake up now.

It took three years to catch up, I'm dying of laughter, I used to really think the internet was a lawless land. Group leaders need to wake up, this time it's serious. By the way, how's the web3 community doing? Is anyone paying attention to this? With such strong traceability, I just want to ask if our group should be a bit more careful. This should shatter the complacency, reality is right in front of us. I said the admin wasn't joking, didn't expect someone to be approached so soon.

It's been three years, and now there's really no escape. --- Group leaders need to wake up; this time it's not a joke. --- I just said that technology has advanced; the old "I don't know" trick won't work anymore. --- The Web3 community really needs to reflect, and DAO administrators need to be careful. --- To be honest, seeing this case is a bit frightening; management responsibility is really not that simple. --- I remember those group leaders who used to "let things go"; they're probably shaking now. --- The law is strict and does not let things slip; you can't hide in the internet age. --- The crypto circle needs to be even more careful; Decentralization does not equal no rules.

Oh no, it took three years to find this out, now the group owners can't hold back anymore. Group managers can also get in, I guess I need to be more careful in the future. Wow, now I really have to review the things in the group seriously. The old brothers in the Web3 community should be alert, the law is really getting serious. I don't know how long we can blame others, it seems the days of lying flat are over. Goodness, managing a group is more worrying than doing a proper job. I just want to know if anyone has started deleting messages already. "I don't know" this trap won't work anymore. Asking questions is just a way to blur the responsibilities of the admins, anyway, if something goes wrong, I'll just say I didn't see it. The long arm of the law is really stretching longer and longer.
