网络谣言的法律界定

Judicial Definition of Web Rumors

网络社会使保障公民的言论自由和管控网络秩序之间产生了紧张的关系,以往的法律法规在界定"网络谣言"、处理这一关系时呈现出明显的不适应。目前,刑事和民事领域分别出台了专门的司法解释、修法和规定,但在行政法领域还未有统一的意见。笔者在分析专门的刑事司法解释的基础上,结合有关民事规定和刑法修正案九的有关规则,以行政法的角度,从实施主体、主客观相一致、行为方式等方面提出"网络谣言"界定标准的若干意见,供学界和实务界参考。

Web society gives rise to a tension between the freedom of expressing citizen’s views and web order control. The previous judicial definitions and treatment on the web rumors are no longer adaptive to the current situation. The specific judicial interpretations, amendments and regulations are currently issued in the fields of civil and criminal laws. However, no agreement has been reached in the field of administrative laws. On the basis of criminal law’s interpretation of rumors, and in view of civil law stipulations and the Ninth Amendment of Criminal Law, the present paper proposed some views on defining rumor from the perspective of administrative law, and from the aspects of subject, subject-object agreement and behavior patterns.
