ABSTRACT

In the era of internet information, various criminal issues such as fraud, cyber insults, and defamation occur frequently. The implementation of national anti-fraud laws has yielded positive results in the management of fraud crimes. It is evident that the introduction of relevant laws can lead to better outcomes through the analysis of specific problems. However, cyber insults and defamation crimes remain rampant, resulting in severe consequences such as damage to victims' reputation, privacy, and even their physical and mental well-being. In this context, this paper compares cyber insults and defamation crimes with traditional insults and defamation crimes, analyzes the internal mechanisms of cyber insults and defamation, and provides recommendations for prevention and governance from the perspectives of current shortcomings, society, individuals, and platforms. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for strengthening governance in the judicial and legislative aspects. By doing so, pocket crimes based on statutory offenses can be avoided, and the principle of leniency and severity in criminal law can be effectively implemented, thereby curbing cyber insults and defamation crimes and reducing harm to citizens, the state, and society.
