I. Event review
1. The plaintiff took the courier at the post station and was secretly recorded by the other two parties, and then forged various derailed remarks and spread them in the WeChat group.
2. The plaintiff was told by friends and colleagues that the rumors about himself were constantly spreading and even spread to the whole country.
The plaintiff asked the defendant to apologize publicly and make financial compensation, but the defendant refused, saying that the video was just a joke.
4. The plaintiff was expelled from his unit because of the video and was diagnosed with depression, which seriously affected his normal life.
5. As the incident continued to ferment, the information of the rumor monger was published, and the rumor monger decided to refuse reconciliation, protect himself with legal weapons, and filed a lawsuit with the Yuhang District People's Court.
6. Yuhang District People's Court accepted the case and decided to file a case for investigation. Recently, the trial was officially held.
Second, the social impact.
The story that happened in this incident is not the first case in China. With the development of the Internet, many people with weak legal awareness feel that they can talk nonsense on the Internet without taking any responsibility. Therefore, online rumors emerge one after another, and the victims can only bear it silently.
However, in the incident, the victim took the initiative to defend his rights and turned into a civil lawsuit, which is the first case. This time, the consequences are even more serious, leading to mental problems of the rumors, affecting normal life, leading to? Social death? The rumormonger didn't realize that his remarks were wrong at all.
The incident caused great social repercussions, and the comments were almost one-sided. They believe that the rumour maker should take the initiative to apologize and bear the mental and economic losses suffered by the rumour maker. The insincerity and unrepentant death of the rumor mongers led to the dissatisfaction of netizens. Human flesh? Other methods also attack it.
Three. Lessons and thoughts of this kind of incident
The rumour maker finally paid the due price and was sentenced to one year's imprisonment. Although the time is not too long or too short, it is a stain that can't be erased for a lifetime, which not only affects his life planning, but also affects future generations or family members. This is what they didn't expect when they began to spread rumors without any remorse? Cost? And then what? Consequences? .
This case makes the price that the rumor maker needs to pay more clear, which cannot be solved by an apology. We must pay the legal price, and also provide a reference for future online rumor cases. I believe that at such a huge cost, people will be more cautious in the network, and such malicious rumors will be less and less.
