中国官方发布了《反网络暴力法》草案,并向公众公开征求意见[1]。该法案共分七章六十条,针对网络暴力行为的定义、责任主体和处罚措施进行了规范[1]。
根据草案规定,网络服务提供者若违反相关规定造成特别严重影响,最高可面临一千万元人民币罚款,直接负责的主管人员和其他直接责任人最高可被罚款一百万元[1]。此外,有关部门还可以并处责令暂停相关业务、停业整顿、关闭网站或应用程序、吊销业务许可证或营业执照等措施[1]。
法案明确了网络暴力的多种表现形式,包括侮辱谩骂、造谣诽谤、煽动仇恨、违法泄露个人信息、网络骚扰和恐吓等行为[1]。为此,网络服务提供者被要求建立网暴监测预警机制和防护功能,对违规账号采取流量限制、添加标签、纳入黑名单等措施[1]。
China's authorities have released a draft of the Anti-Online Harassment Law and opened it for public consultation [1]. The proposed legislation establishes significant penalties for internet service providers and individuals who violate its provisions.
Under the draft law, internet service providers that breach regulations and cause particularly serious consequences face maximum fines of 10 million yuan, while directly responsible managers and other personnel involved can be penalized up to 1 million yuan [1]. Beyond monetary penalties, authorities may impose supplementary sanctions including suspension of relevant services, business shutdowns, website or application closure, or revocation of business licenses [1]. The law defines online harassment to encompass insults and abuse, false rumors, incitement to hatred, illegal disclosure of personal information, cyberstalking, and threats [1].
The draft mandates that online service providers establish monitoring and early warning mechanisms to detect online harassment, and implement protective features to address such behavior [1]. These measures include imposing traffic restrictions on violating accounts, adding warning labels, and placing accounts on blacklists [1]. The comprehensive legislation consists of seven chapters containing sixty articles in total [1].
