Abstract

With the rapid development of big data technology and the popularization of Internet applications, the role of Internet public opinion in social governance has become increasingly prominent. Internet public opinion not only reflects hot issues of social concern and public sentiment, but also affects social stability and national security. Therefore, strengthening the rule of law governance of online public opinion has become an urgent problem. The purpose of this study is to explore the rule of law basis and major problems of online public opinion governance in the era of big data, to analyses the shortcomings of the current implementation of the rule of law in online public opinion, and to propose corresponding countermeasures. In the context of the big data era, the rule of law in online public opinion governance faces challenges in many aspects. Inadequate supervision, imperfect rule of law system, deficiencies in the implementation mechanism, and weak public awareness of the rule of law together constitute the main problems in the current governance of online public opinion. To effectively deal with these problems, it is necessary to start with strengthening supervision, improving the rule of law system, reinforcing the implementation mechanism and raising awareness of the rule of law. Through these measures, a more mature and effective rule of law system for the governance of online public opinion can be constructed, thereby safeguarding the healthy development of the online information environment and maintaining social harmony and stability.
