First, is "human flesh" illegal on the Internet?
Human flesh search is illegal.
According to Article 7 of China's Measures for the Administration of Access Channels of Computer Information Networks, users' communication freedom and privacy are protected by law. No unit or individual may violate laws and regulations and use the Internet to infringe on users' freedom and privacy of communication.
Article 18 stipulates that unauthorized computer schools, tampering with other people's information, sending information in the name of others, and infringing on other people's privacy are not allowed.
In fact, the human flesh search engine inevitably touches on privacy issues from the date of its birth, which may lead to problems such as leaking secrets and invading privacy.
