The microblog provides a convenient way to promote the right to speak for the mass society. In fact, under the game of business interests, the operators of the websites strengthen the monitoring of the microblogs through manual and technology control, which gradually erases the enthusiasm of grassroots microblogs, causing the collective aphasia of the grassroots. The grassroots microblogs turn into the bystanders and followers of the elite microblogs, and the discourse right of the grassroots needs to get security. Therefore, grassroots microblogs need to expand the space of the right to speak for the grassroots.
