Deconstructing Cyber Violence: An Analysis of the Causes of Insult and Defamation Behaviour

侮辱、诽谤类网络暴力行为的成因离不开社会心理、网络平台和法律制度因素对网络暴力的推动作用。网络匿名性削弱了个体的道德约束，群体效应加剧了暴力言论的蔓延；网络平台的推荐算法和监管缺失加速了网络暴力的传播；而现有法律滞后于网络暴力行为的演变，执法与司法之间的衔接不畅也影响了案件的处理效率。为有效防治侮辱、诽谤类网络暴力行为，应协同法律、技术和社会多方面因素，发挥法律与道德在网络空间中的双重规范作用，进行综合治理。The causes of insulting and defamatory online violence cannot be separated from the promotion of online violence by social psychology, online platforms and legal system factors. The anonymity of the Internet has weakened the individual’s moral constraints, and the group effect has exacerbated the spread of violent speech; the recommendation algorithms and the lack of supervision of online platforms have accelerated the spread of cyberviolence; while the existing laws lag behind the evolution of cyberviolence, and the poor connection between law enforcement and justice also affects the efficiency of the case processing. In preventing and combating insulting and defamatory cyberviolence, a comprehensive approach should be taken in conjunction with legal, technological and social factors, and by giving full play to the dual normative roles of law and morality in cyberspace.
