Criminal Law Regulation of Internet Violence
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Vicious incidents caused by internet violence that seriously pollute the Internet ecology. Internet violence is an anomalous act that uses the Internet as a medium to endanger the normal order of the Internet and infringe on the personal rights and interests of others through insults, slander, human flesh searches and other behaviors. At the criminal law level, insult and defamation are the main crimes that criminal law applies to internet violence. When applying criminal law to regulate internet violence, there is a phenomenon that "the law does not punish the public" and existing crimes are poorly regulated or even absent. To deal with internet violence at the criminal law level, we should clearly define the boundaries of criminal law’s involvement in social governance, clarify the responsible parties, and adjust the scope of application of relevant crimes.
