信息时代社交网络服务商法律责任体系的反思与重构——以微博平台谣言的预防和制裁为视角

Introspection and Reconstruction on the Legal Liability System of Social Intercourse Network Service Providers in the Information Age—— From the Perspective of Preventing and Punishing Rumors on the Micro- blogging Platform

信息社会背景下,人类进入全媒体时代,社交网络服务商作为新的"守门人",理应成为防控微博谣言的重要一环。然而,基于重"用户"轻"平台"的传统立法理念,社交网络服务商的法律责任体系存在明显缺陷。顺应网络社会代际发展规律,以"平台责任"为中心,重新构建对社交网络服务商进行的法律责任体系,是完善微博谣言法律规范体系的重要内容。

As humans enter into the media age under the background of information society, social intercourse network service providers have become new“gatekeepers”, which are important for controlling rumors spreading on the micro- blogs. However, traditional legislations, which have paid more attention to users than platforms, are proved to be obviously defective. In order to comply with the development laws of the intergenerational network society, we should focus on the“platform responsibility”and rebuild the legal liability system of independent evaluation on the social intercourse network service providers. These are crucial for improving the legal system of controlling rumors on the platform of micro-blogs.
