The campus bullying that thousands of people have actually turned to the Internet.
According to The Paper, during the Spring Festival in 2020, the Guangming Branch of the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau of Guangdong Province received a report from Jia Jia, a junior high school student in the jurisdiction, saying that she had been bullied at school. The classmates not only insulted themselves, but also fabricated facts on the Internet and falsely accused them. After Guangming police intervened in the investigation, they found that a social platform operating company committed cyberbullying by fictitiously and spreading negative information among teenagers, and charged high fees to make profits when relevant personnel asked to delete posts. On May 21, Guangming police arrested six people involved in the case, including Wen Mouxi, Li Moufu, Dong Moumei, Yang Mouyu and Chen Mourui, all of whom have been criminally detained by the police in accordance with the law for suspected extortion. At present, the case is under further investigation.
edit the information of "scumbag men and women" to obtain the post deletion fee. The picture comes from the Internet
From a legal perspective, the actions of Wen Mouxi and others are indeed suspected of committing crimes. Fake facts on the Internet and falsely accusing them, and charging high fees for profit when others request to delete the post is not only in line with the crime of extortion, but also in line with the crime of defamation . Considering that the two crimes are in conflict, they can be punished with one serious crime, that is, criminal responsibility for suspected extortion. If verified, according to the "Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Extortion", the turnover in the past six months has reached more than 500,000 yuan, which has reached the "specially huge amount" standard. Relevant personnel may face the penalty of "more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment and fines".
Although the case has not yet been completed, the impact of this case is undoubtedly positive. For individuals, Jia Jia, a minor who has suffered from campus bullying and online bullying, can breathe a sigh of relief. Those illegal people who fabricate facts on the Internet to frame him, make him unbearable, and even feel disgusted with school, will pay a high illegal price for their despicable behavior.
For those illegal people who have not yet surfaced and attempt to use cyber bullying as a way to make money, the police's heavy blow is also a wake-up call, releasing a strong signal to protect minors, which will help warn them to regulate their own behavior and stop them in time.
In people's impression, campus bullying is often the matter and people around you. However, the reality is that cyber bullying "helps evil." When campus bullying begins to move to the virtual world, the harm caused to minors is often more concealed and has a more lasting impact. Moreover, as time goes by, unlike previous cases of cyber bullying, the "criminal means" of criminals are also being upgraded, and the traces of "team-based and chain-based operations" are obvious.
For example, in this case of cyber bullying, the company registered and operated a large number of social platforms such as WeChat public accounts and Toutiao public accounts, disguised itself as a social platform operation company, randomly edited and leaked various so-called "scumbags" and "scumbags" information, and expanded its influence by hiring professional promotion teams and distributing water army groups. These network technology techniques are like "assembly lines", which makes cyber bullying hidden under the smoke of social revelations and waters, causing deeper harm to minors and less easy to detect and intervene.
protects the rights and interests of minors, not only to win offline battles, but also to win online battles. In response to the high incidence of cases of cyber bullying minors in recent years, while strengthening law enforcement, the UK has established an anti-bullying alliance, committed to striving for a safe network environment for young people and children. By adopting software technology from some high-tech companies, it has effectively prevented the occurrence of cyber bullying cases. These experiences and practices are also worthy of our reference.
The new trend of cyber bullying should arouse the high alert of relevant departments. While strengthening relevant legislation protection, develop network supervision technology, increase law enforcement protection, severely crack down on criminals, and curb all kinds of campus bullying and cyber bullying, so that minors will grow up safer and healthier.
