Peer Review from Yitao Huang

1. The length of the article meets the requirement of 3000 words. The author did a comprehensive review of the forum Baidu Tieba and covered a lot of aspects.
2. (1) The structure of this article clearly has the form of a good article. The opening paragraph gives a concise introduction to Tieba that nicely summarize the issue. After that, the author talks about advertising and states that its form has changed from traditional media to new media. At last, the opening paragraph ends with explaining how Internet advertising is closely associated with digital privacy these days and summarizes the main topic of the article. I think there's no need to improve.
(2) The body of the article is divided into many sections, making it very readable. There are three large sections, and each one is further divided into smaller sections. The body, consisting of several sections, makes a good elaboration on the topic and provide more context to the whole wiki page. In the History section, the author gives a basic timeline of Tieba History. In the special features section, the author lists a series of unique features of Tieba and included images to help understanding. One point to improve is that the author can use less source of foreign language, which make s it confusing to understand sometimes. Then comes the Category section, which involves more details on Tieba features. One suggestion is to integrate this part with former features to illustrate how they are different. Finally, the author has the ethics section. It involves a lot of concrete examples and references in this part and there's little to improve.
(3) The author utilized a total of 11 references to support the facts listed in the wikipedia. Each of the, is properly annotated. They come from reliable sources including the original wiki page and reliable newspapers posts. I would suggest collecting more references to get a broader perspective.
3. The author's claim is very clear and the issue is pretty related to me (used to be a Tieba user). The ethical problem is definitely important since Baidu was accused for a long time because of their ethical issues. For the remove blog post issue exposed in the wikipedia, I actually have experience that my post was removed due to information censorships.
4. The article is reporting ethical issues pretty objectively without any personal bias. All opinions are from references and facts. All problems are stated in multiple perspectives. All statements are backed up with references.
