The Civil Law Regulatory Path of Internet Rumor Governance in the Context of Big Data

Taking Sina Weibo as an Example

Abstract

Relying on the Internet, network rumors have the characteristics of fast spreading speed, great influence and strong harm, which will have a certain impact on people's production and life, therefore, they have also entered the vision of the government governance, but the delineation of the boundaries between the governance of network rumors and the protection of the freedom of expression has caused a lot of social controversy. At present, China's network rumor governance system faces legal dilemmas such as low legal status, legislative gaps, lagging legislation, fragmentation of the legal system, and the strong color of public law; China's network rumor governance system also faces practical dilemmas such as the difficulty of private remedies, and the impossibility of recovering the damaged reputation in a timely manner. Therefore, in order to better manage rumors, maintain the peace and stability of the country and society, and protect the immediate interests of the people, we should start from legislation and control rumors by law. Firstly, the definition of rumor should be clarified through legislation, secondly, the types and methods of punishment should be clarified through legislation, and finally, the legal system of Internet rumor management in China should be improved through multi-channel management of Internet rumors, so as to realize the grand goal of China under the rule of law.
