On October 21st, it was reported that Baidu had made personnel adjustments and ACG Vice President Xie Guangjun took over the business energy efficiency department.
In March of this year, it was revealed that Xie Guangjun's daughter was involved in the "unboxing amateur" incident, which sparked a lot of controversy. At that time, Xie Guangjun apologized on his social media account.
Subsequently, Baidu responded that after investigation, the unboxing information came from an overseas social worker database, a database that collects personal privacy information through illegal means. The relevant investigation process has obtained evidence and has been notarized by a notary public.
The screenshot circulating online claiming that the party involved admitted that their parents provided them with the database contains false information. In addition, during the incident, there were a large number of highly similar rumors on social media. The company has reported the relevant online rumors to the public security organs.
Affected by the "unboxing amateur" incident, Xie Guangjun has been much more low-key, and there are rumors that he has submitted a resignation application.
In July of this year, according to Sina Technology, it was rumored that Xie Guangjun had resigned, but insiders at Baidu said that Xie Guangjun's information could still be retrieved in the company's internal system, and the specific details of personnel changes were not yet clear.
