Chinanews.com, Chongqing, March 2 (Liang Qinqing and Li Junbing) In the Internet age, some people artificially obtain traffic dividends and "strike out" by maliciously editing videos and other methods, which leads to online reputation infringement incidents.
Among the typical cases of protection of women's rights and interests released by the Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court on the 2nd, there is a case in which an online "big V" maliciously edited short videos to infringe on women's legitimate rights and interests.

In July 2021, Sun posted a video on his Weibo account.
This video is the picture and sound of Wu (female) arguing with others in a certain community. The video is equipped with subtitles such as "Touch it, more than three hundred" and other technical means, such as slow playback, repeated playback, and voice change, highlight Wu What a certain person said, "touch it, more than three hundred".
The video has 16,000 views and 25 comments.
In September 2021, Wu sued the court, requesting that Sun and the operator of the Weibo website immediately stop the infringement, completely delete the video involved in the case, apologize, and compensate for the resulting economic losses and mental damage.
The court held that Sun, as a Weibo "big V" user with a large number of fans, has attracted more public attention and has greater social influence.
Sun released a video of Wu arguing with others in a certain community on Weibo. Although the content of the video shot reflects the actual situation at the time of the incident, after an overall analysis of the content of the video and the accompanying subtitles, Sun The release of the video was not done in good faith, and had a certain impact on Wu's reputation. His behavior constituted an infringement of Wu's reputation right, and he should bear the tort liability according to law.
The judge said that the Internet is not a place outside the law, and although everyone can be a "news spokesperson", they must also be a "guardian of order".
In this case, the content of the involved video released by Sun obviously demeaned women, so it should be determined in accordance with the law that it constituted an infringement of Wu's reputation, and he must bear the corresponding tort liability.
