If citizens encounter online slander, they can save relevant evidence and report it to the police station of the public security organ in their jurisdiction, and the public security organ will investigate and deal with it according to law. During this period, the whistleblower can consult the unit that accepts the case. In the new regulations, "being forwarded 500 times or being clicked 5000 times" is based on the actual click, and the relevant statistics belong to the investigation work of the public security organs, and the whistleblower does not need to know. In the process of handling the case, the public security organ will inform the informant of the corresponding situation according to law. The materials required by informants depend on specific cases, and the materials required for reporting different cases will be different. Therefore, citizens are advised to contact the unit that accepts the case before reporting the case, determine the required materials and prepare relevant materials for reporting the case.
