The website should play "Mosaic"

Guangdong Hao Sheng law firm Cungongbao Lawyers believe that the victim will be the image of the suspect to send the internet behavior, can be called "Internet arrest Warrant", and the arrest warrant only public security organs can be released. Criminal suspects, even if they are most heinous, their personal rights, portrait, reputation rights are still protected by law. Therefore, the behavior of the Internet is suspected of infringement.

"If we all agree to this behavior, then everyone will follow suit, and there may be more mischief-taking or intentionally sending photos of others to the Internet, in various names." In this way, everyone is likely to be a victim, and if a photograph is wrong, it can hurt innocent people. ”

In view of the network operators to provide an open forum, the information presented on the platform is suspected of violating the rights of others, Cungongbao suggested that the network operators have the responsibility to undertake the review and supervision obligations, the alleged infringement of posts for technical treatment, so as not to provoke legal disputes.

Legal experts believe that human flesh search often violates the privacy of citizens, mostly illegal. As a citizen, can express dissatisfaction to the criminal suspect through speech, but in the exercise of their rights can not violate the legitimate rights of others, this is the principle of civil fault liability is the bottom line, but also "human flesh search" is illegal boundaries.
