网络传谣型寻衅滋事的法律适用

Application of Law in Network Rumor Deviance

刑法学界对网络传谣型寻衅滋事的法律适用存在争议,主要在于刑法解释方法不妥当。网络传谣是起哄闹事在信息网络空间的表现形式。网络空间因其是多数或不特定的行为人可以行为的处所也可以成为公共场所。只有在网络空间起哄闹事引起现实公共场所秩序严重混乱的才构成犯罪,不能单纯地以点击率、转帖率等作为判断标准。

Criminal law scholars’ controversy over the application of law in network rumor deviance is mainly due to inappropriate interpretation of criminal law. Network rumor is the manifestation of riot in cyberspace. Cyberspace is public because it’s the place where many or unspecified actors behave themselves.Only when riot in cyberspace cause serious disorder in real public places can the crime be constituted. Click rate and reposting rate alone should not be used as the evidence for judging.
