In an elite law firm, a very tough man was educating Jiang Bai, who came for consultation, about the legal regulations regarding online trolls.

"Internet trolls are illegal, there is no doubt about that."

“According to the Tort Liability Law and the “Supreme Court’s Provisions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Civil Disputes Using Information Networks to Infringe Personal Rights and Interests,” etc., if online trolls fabricate or disseminate false information and cause adverse effects and consequences, they need to bear civil liability.

responsibility."

"Of course, these are not the focus. The focus is still on criminal liability."

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up, "Can we really hold them criminally responsible?"

Luo Dazhuang took a sip of green tea and nodded: "Of course. Based on the analysis of the common business of Internet trolls, there are three types of criminal offenses they may be suspected of."

Then, he explained these three criminal offenses in turn.

The first type, for the purpose of profit, provides paid services such as publishing false information on the Internet, or providing paid services such as deleting information, such as brushing orders, brushing up positive reviews, deleting negative reviews, etc. on online shopping platforms, which may be suspected of illegal business crimes.

Article 225 of the Criminal Law stipulates: Anyone who violates state regulations, is suspected of illegal business activities, disrupts market order, and the circumstances are serious shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also or solely be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income.

.

If the circumstances are particularly serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years, a fine of not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income, and his property shall be confiscated.

The second type is to publish negative posts on the Internet and use the excuse of deleting the posts to extort public and private property, which may be suspected of extortion.

Article 274 of the Criminal Law stipulates: Whoever extorts public or private property, if the amount is relatively large, or if the amount is extorted multiple times, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also or solely be fined;

If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, the person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined;

If the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, the person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years and shall also be fined.

Third, those who spread or instruct others to spread false information on the Internet, cause trouble and cause serious disorder to public order may be punished for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

Article 293 of the Criminal Law stipulates: Anyone who uses information networks to insult or intimidate others, with egregious circumstances and disrupting social order, shall be convicted and punished for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention or public surveillance.

Whoever gathers others to repeatedly create quarrels and cause trouble, seriously disrupting social order, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined.

In recent years, the cyber security department has carried out intensive investigations and crackdowns on illegal and criminal activities related to cyber trolls in special operations such as "Clean Network" and achieved certain results.

However, due to factors such as the "traffic economy" and the "fan economy", online trolls are still constantly attacking and banning online trolls.

They are usually active on e-commerce websites, forums, bibs and other social network platforms, pretending to be ordinary netizens or consumers, and influence normal users by publishing, replying to and disseminating blog posts, thereby guiding public opinion.

For Internet trolls, posting and deleting posts is just a basic operation, and controlling public opinion is the ultimate goal.

For example, a few years ago, a celebrity who had practiced for two and a half years before debuting released a scarf to promote a new song video, and the number of retweets exceeded 100 million!

At that time, the total number of users of scarves was only over 300 million.

This is equivalent to one out of every three scarf users retweeting this content.

There are cyber trolls behind this incident!

"I didn't expect that the Internet trolls would actually find your head..."

Luo Dazhuang smiled and shook his head.

He knew Jiang Bai's temper and behavior very well.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Dazhuang finished speaking, Jiang Bai rubbed his hands with excitement.

What does civil liability mean? Pay money and apologize?

The cost of such infringement is too low and not enough to truly deter lawbreakers.

Just like the previous 4S shop car repair shady story, why are there so many people smashing cars to cheat insurance, or stealing car parts, etc.?

Firstly, the profits are high, and secondly, the cost of infringement is low.

If you are not discovered, you will make a lot of money. If you are discovered, you will get a refund and lose three, which is painless and painless.

But if what is being pursued is not civil liability, but criminal liability, do you think they would dare to be so unscrupulous!

"These trolls deliberately set the pace in the comment area, stir up trouble, and guide public opinion, causing serious chaos on the Internet. They should be cleared of the crime of provoking quarrels and provoking trouble," Jiang Bai said, rubbing his chin.

"It's too small, the layout is too small." Luo Dazhuang smiled and shook his head.

"How to say?"

"They may only be accused of picking quarrels and provoking trouble in your case, but you have to know that Internet trolls are not a one-time deal. Before you, were they all drinking the northwest wind?"

Jiang Bai quickly asked: "You mean, this group of navy soldiers must have done other illegal things before?"

"That's for sure. You can dig deeper and estimate that the three crimes of illegal business operations, extortion and picking quarrels and provoking troubles can't be escaped." Luo Dazhuang said with a smile.

"punishment!"

Jiang Bai nodded heavily, then looked at Luo Dazhuang and asked: "Will the person who hired the Internet trolls be punished?"

"According to Article 15 of my country's "Internet Infringement Interpretation": if you hire, organize, instigate or help others, or forward online information to infringe the personal rights and interests of others, the person who has been infringed has the right to request the perpetrator to bear joint and several liability."

"In other words, how the navy will punish the person who hired the navy will be punished."

After listening to Luo Dazhuang's explanation, Jiang Bai was completely enlightened.

Either you don't do it, or you have to do it with big votes.

Internet trolls, right?

It's rhythmic, right?

To guide public opinion, right?

It's a form of criminal violation, right?

Punishment! Very hard!

…

After returning home, Jiang Bai began to collect evidence.

In just a few hours, Lao Ma Rui commented on the video "Thousands of internet celebrities chase people to death...", which has received more than two million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It went directly to the third place on the Douyin hot search.

Of course, it is unknown how much water is contained in this data.

The comment area can be described as a chaotic dance of demons, a smog, swords and swords, and the battle is fierce.

There are navy troops stirring up the storm.

There are fans who are trying their best to protect it.

There are also trolls who are adding insult to injury.

All in all, it's very confusing.

It is a huge workload to manually filter out the comments that meet the "criminal violation technique" from hundreds of thousands of comments.

And the probability of error is also very high.

I'm afraid that even if you are blind, you may not be able to complete this work.

However, Jiang Bai said he was not panic at all.

Because he has intermediate hacking skills, equivalent to ten years of hacking experience.

You must know that every hacker is a top programmer and is familiar with various languages, such as C language, Python, Java, PHP, etc., they are all knowledgeable.

"Crack!"

With a crisp typing sound on the keyboard, Jiang Bai wrote a simple script that can automatically obtain video comments and conduct intelligent analysis.

An obvious feature of the comments made by trolls is that they use the same IP address.

With such a feature, it is as obvious to the script as a lighthouse in the fog.

It didn't take long for the results to come.

There are tens of thousands of troll comments!

Those popular comments that are pushed to the front are basically all from the same IP, and they are all written by trolls.

Accounts such as blockbuster, boom, kei, coolie, monkey, monkey, etc. are all fake accounts.

besides.

Jiang Bai also had some unexpected gains.

Troll.

That's right, the Internet troll who has been dormant for a long time has returned to the world.

However, they still don’t dare to be arrogant under Jiang Bai’s video.

So Lao Ma Rui commented on this video and it became the main front for trolls.

If the troll army is an organized and disciplined "regular army", then the trolls are a rabble.

The former also know what kind of opponent they are facing, and they dare not step on the red line. At most, they are just secretly poking at them in a weird way.

But the latter didn't care so much, that guy simply let himself go completely.

After screened by the script, there were more than a thousand comments that were slanderous or insulting and reached a "serious level".
