On the Improvement of Legal Regulation of Online Violence Infringement

Abstract

In the information age, the rapid development of the internet has led to an increasing frequency of "cyber violence" cases that have a negative impact on public order. The concept of "cyber violence" lacks a specific legal definition. Initially, it was defined from a non-legal perspective, referring to the behavior of forming an offensive group by unspecified netizens on the internet to target controversial events, engaging in cyber violence and doxing against the parties involved, seriously infringing upon their civil rights and violating social public order. However, this definition is more aligned with moral and ethical characteristics rather than legal ones. This paper points out the imperfections in domestic legal regulation of cyber violence and the susceptibility of judicial practice to influence, and puts forward some suggestions. Firstly, it is recommended to improve the network real-name identification system to materialize virtual networks. Secondly, corresponding legal norms for groups should be formulated. Additionally, strengthen legal education and publicity to enhance netizens' legal awareness and consciousness. In view of the weak links in the anti-cyber violence legal system, it is suggested to improve the relevant legal system. Finally, it is proposed to establish a network credit system to urge network users to strictly adhere to network norms. China has a large number of netizens, which poses significant challenges to the governance of the domestic network environment. However, if the legal system can better combat cyber violence, the network environment will become more stable, which will contribute to social stability and economic development.
