Internet platform operators may incur criminal liability for facilitating user-committed intentional crimes as soon as such crimes are executed via their platforms.Although it is widely accepted in theory and practice that Internet platform opera-tors can be held liable as accomplices to user crimes,the specific conditions for such liability still need clarification.Internet platform operator's liability as an accessory to a user's principal act requires satisfying two conditions:the operator's management of the platform must objectively aid the user's principal act,and the operator must have the corresponding intent to assist.There-fore,it is necessary to clarify the conditions for the liability of Internet platform operators as accomplices from these two aspects.
