Consolidate responsibility and build "platform dams" (People's Times Commentary)
——Don’t let cyber violence pollute the spiritual home①
Sheng Yulei
At this year's National Two Sessions, the Supreme People's Court's work report emphasized: "Those who violate personal information and incite online violence, insult and slander shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law." personal information and other crimes that seriously endanger social order and violate civil rights.”
In the virtual space of the network, governance according to law must be carried out, and the governance of cyber violence and clear cyberspace is an important part of it.
At the beginning of 2022, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China launched a one-month special campaign called "Clean and Bright 2022 Spring Festival Internet Environment Remediation". Among them, five key tasks were rectified, and the top one was "Internet violence, spreading rumors and other issues." , including using the epidemic, social hot events, etc. to provoke netizens to confront each other, conduct human flesh searches, abusive attacks, etc.
Many online platforms have upgraded their ability to prevent cyber violence, and newly launched functions such as "risk reminder" and "post warning" to rectify inappropriate private messages and inappropriate comments, and promote the formation of a joint force to prevent cyber violence.
No one wants to live in a smoky, violent space.
The ecology of cyberspace is good and in line with the interests of the people.
The deterioration of the cyberspace ecology is not in the interests of the people.
Behind the "word storms", individual people ignore the weight of expression and the responsibility of speaking when they "key to key".
Emotions come first, and it is easy to become a "rumor speaker"; rationality is placed behind, and the result will be reduced to a "Internet storm diffuser".
You must know that anonymity and virtuality are not the reasons for "open mouth", morality and the rule of law are the premise of "words come from the heart".
If cyber violence is a beast that drowns rationality and erodes public order, then the online platform should become a solid dam to protect the spiritual home.
Social platforms, content platforms, live broadcasting platforms, shopping platforms... Today, with the extension of the Internet, online platforms have become the primary responsible entity for information content management. In terms of rights and interests, it has an irreplaceable status and role.
In response to the content of cyber violence during the Beijing Winter Olympics, some short video platforms intercepted and cleaned up relevant illegal videos and comment content, and banned or banned accounts with acts of mutual abuse, incitement to confrontation, and rumors to slander; some social platforms cleaned up For illegal content, individual accounts will be banned for 30 days to permanent ban, depending on the degree.
Timely response and decisive measures have shown a red card and drawn a red line for cyber violence.
Expression has boundaries, and traffic has a bottom line.
The bigger the enterprise and the more active the platform, the greater the corresponding social responsibility and moral responsibility.
It should be noted that some social platforms and portals still have problems such as insufficient awareness of responsibilities, inaccurate role positioning, inadequate performance of duties, imperfect systems and mechanisms, and non-standard management operations in preventing cyber violence. Illegal and bad information is prohibited.
In fact, competitive and vital enterprises will actively undertake social responsibilities, and online platforms with a sense of responsibility and mission will not be kidnapped by traffic or influenced by emotions.
For various network platforms, only by erecting "firewalls" and "high-voltage lines", and implementing the main responsibility of information content management, can we create a clear cyberspace, protect a healthy spiritual home, and promote the Internet, the biggest variable, to become a career. The largest increment of development.
Grasp the connotation of the main responsibility, improve the platform community rules, strengthen the standardized management of accounts, and improve the content review mechanism. Work requirements for fulfilling the main responsibility of information content management.
Only by accurately grasping responsibilities, clarifying work norms, improving management systems, and improving operating rules can the network platform become bigger and stronger, the network home can be clean, and the network power country can move forward steadily.
