我国直播电子商务平台经营者信息审查义务的标准

The standard of information review obligation about operators of live-streaming e-commerce platform in China

关于直播电子商务平台经营者信息审查义务的标准,我国《电子商务法》等现行法律法规缺乏统一规定,且司法实践中通常采用的形式审查标准忽视特殊法规定,造成不同义务的标准被同质化。为明确信息审查义务的标准,保障司法和执法的合法性和合理性,应分别划分审查主体和审查内容的类别,再根据不同类别设定不同的信息审查标准。就审查主体而言,超级平台和大型平台需要履行更多的实质审查义务,中小平台履行形式审查义务即可;就审查内容而言,平台需要对特殊信息履行实质审查义务,对一般信息履行形式审查义务。

Existing laws and regulations, such as E-commerce Law, have not stipulated uniformly the standard of information review obligation of live-streaming e-commerce platform operators in China. And the standard of formal review which is adopted in judicial practice usually ignores the special law provisions, resulting in the homogenization of different standards of the obligation in China. In order to clarify the standard of information review obligation and ensure the legality and rationality of judicature and law enforcement, the subject and content of review should be divided into categories, and then different information review standards should be set according to different categories. As for the subject of review, super platform and large platform need to fulfill more substantive censorship obligation, while small and medium-sized platform need to fulfill formal censorship obligation. In terms of the review content, the platform needs to fulfill substantive review obligation for special information and formal review obligation for general information.
