网络谣言刑法治理的基本立场

The Basic Position of Criminal Regulation on Internet Canard

频繁发生的网络谣言给国家、社会和个人利益带来了严重损害。然而,在作为宪法权利的言论自由面前,启动刑法规制网络谣言需要以保障宪法权利言论自由为指导,避免打击民众表达内心声音的意愿。面对不同的网络谣言,刑法需要采取不同的治理限度,以落实罪责刑相适应原则。网络谣言本质的虚假性和网络谣言变质的真实性,需要我们考察行为人主观上是否明知散布的消息是谣言,而网络谣言表达方式的多样性,需要我们证明行为人散布的消息确为网络谣言,如此才能做到主客观相统一。

The frequently＇happened phenomenon of internet canard has brought severe damage to the na- tion,society and personal interests. To regulate internet canard with criminal law,we should bear the constitutional right in mind to guarantee freedom of speech and avoid hitting the will of the public to ex- press their inner voice. When facing with different internet canards, the criminal law should have different criminal regulation limits in order to implement the principle of suiting punishment to crime. The falsity of the nature of internet card and the authenticity of the degeneration of internet card require us to con- firm whether the doer has a criminal negligence of realizing the information he has spread. Besides, the diversity of the expression of internet canard requires us to study whether the information the doer spreads is an internet canard. Only by this can the principle of unity of subjectivity and objectivity be en- sured.
