China News Service, Beijing, November 8 (Reporter Gao Kai) In the early morning of November 2, a netizen posted on Weibo that her mother, a teacher, died of a myocardial infarction because of a "malicious intrusion" in an online class. .

At present, the ultimate cause of the tragedy is yet to be further investigated, but the phenomenon of online course invasion has attracted widespread public attention with a more terrifying appearance.

  The so-called online class hacking means that when the teacher is in class, there are hackers who are now called "demolition hunters" who enter the online class to abuse teachers or students, and send various texts, pictures, music, and even pornography that have nothing to do with teaching. Video, etc., to interfere with the teaching order.

  In fact, in September this year, the phenomenon of "online class invasion" broke out.

Schools across the country have just started school, and online classes have been affected by the epidemic. The so-called "demolition hunters" are waiting for the opportunity, causing adverse effects.

  In order to ensure the progress of teaching under the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention, online classes are becoming more and more common in various places, and it is difficult to completely rule out the occurrence of various accidents.

In addition to the matching of early teachers and students' equipment, network speed and other hardware, the intrusion of online courses has become more and more troublesome.

  The "invasion of online courses" has become a disaster, and it is imminent how to prevent it and find a way to eradicate it.

  The most immediate thing is to establish an effective protection mechanism for daily online classes.

On some online conference platforms, as long as an insider discloses the conference password and personal information to the outside world, countless strangers can pour in arbitrarily and disrupt the classroom.

  In this regard, recently, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China issued the "Notice on Effectively Strengthening the Governance of Cyber ​​Violence", requiring website platforms to establish and improve emergency protection functions according to their own characteristics, and provide settings such as one-click closing of strangers' private messages, comments, forwarding, and @messages. ; For accounts that publish, frequently post, or incite to publish information on cyber violence, take measures such as closing accounts in accordance with laws and regulations. If the circumstances are particularly serious, the entire network is prohibited from registering new accounts; malicious marketing and hype by exploiting cyber violence is strictly prohibited.

  Many Internet companies have also developed corresponding functions for a variety of mainstream audio and video conferencing software to help ensure the safety of online classrooms.

For example, teachers can manage students' screen sharing, annotation permissions, and speaking and chat permissions, and can enable "Lock Conference", at which time other people can no longer join the conference.

If you find someone who has entered the meeting by mistake, you can "remove them from the meeting" and set "Do not allow users to join the meeting again". If you find that someone else has entered the meeting by mistake, disturbing the order of the class, you can give feedback through the reporting function, etc.

  However, this tragedy shows that seemingly minor illegal acts, once they are not cracked down and spread, may also cause unexpected and serious consequences.

Therefore, in addition to the technical improvement of relevant platforms and providing more technical counseling to relevant personnel and other "prevention beforehand", we should also pay attention to their "postponing and punishment".

  So at the legal level, how should the scourge of "online class invasion" be considered a crime?

Hao Huizhen, a lawyer from Beijing Yingke Law Firm, said in an interview with a reporter from this agency that the "invasion of online classes" may be a prank if one wants to skip the class and "make fun".

If it is a group of people posting harassing information, it is illegal.

All kinds of "invasion" behaviors that affect the teaching order violate the Public Security Administration and Punishment Law, and if the words are directed at the lecturer, the perpetrator will constitute the crime of insulting, slandering, and destroying the reputation of others.

The crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble can also be investigated.

  The survey shows that malicious intrusions into online courses are by no means unique. Among them, with the rise of online courses after the epidemic, they have continued to evolve and deteriorate, and even derived a set of industrial chains that blast online courses. In this regard, Hao Huizhen pointed out that this This kind of so-called industrial chain is characterized by a large number of people, randomness and anonymity, and it is difficult to stop it in time.

The characterization of this kind of behavior depends on the object and consequences of the final violation. Whether it is the "Education Law", "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" or "Criminal Law", there are corresponding punishment measures.

  In response to the question of whether students who provide relevant information to malicious online intruders violated the law, lawyer Hao Huizhen analyzed that if they colluded with the black industry chain, they would deliberately find someone to "blow up online courses" or maliciously leak it to the troublemakers. For the behavior of information, for the consequences that have occurred, students should also bear different legal responsibilities according to the circumstances.

  Hao Huizhen emphasized that even if the perpetrator is a minor under the age of responsibility, parents must pay for the consequences of their actions.

In addition, if the "online class blasting" is organized and profit-making, if a person with criminal responsibility uses a person without criminal responsibility to commit crimes of insult and slander, the user can be directly investigated for criminal responsibility.

Even if the behavior of the organizer does not reach the level of a crime, education must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law.

  As for whether the corresponding platform is responsible, Hao Huizhen pointed out that if there is an illegal, criminal or tortious act, if the platform knows or should know but does not take measures to stop or indulge, it needs to bear the corresponding responsibility.

  In addition to "preventing problems" and "severe punishment", in the face of the widely used online teaching, some deeper levels of education are also worthy of attention. Xiong Bingqi, president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute and a famous education scholar, said that "the invasion of online courses should be addressed." "Online class blasting", to strengthen the education of students, guide students to correctly understand online courses, and not participate in illegal "online class intrusion" and "online class blasting", which interfere with the school's online class teaching order.
