Defining Platform Regulatory Responsibility and Constructing Defense Mechanisms in the Governance of Cyberbullying
The governance of cyberbullying is a critical issue in cyberspace governance.Due to the ineffectiveness of administrative regulation,platforms with management and technological advantages have been introduced into cyberbullying governance.A review of regulatory practices reveals that,owing to ambiguous legal provisions regarding platform regulatory responsibilities,platforms are burdened with excessive expectations and regulatory responsibilities they cannot,should not,or erroneously assume.Examining the jurisprudential basis for platform participation in cyberbullying governance suggests that platforms engage in this process due to third-party obligations under administrative law.Their regulatory boundaries should be limited to general regulation for public interest maintenance and case-specific regulation for individual interest protection.Considering the unique characteristics of cyberbullying governance,to balance the protection of public interests,platform rights,and user rights,platform responsibility in cyberbullying regulation should be defined as a dual structure encompassing both case-specific and general responsibilities.Furthermore,a procedural perspective should be adopted to construct platform-based cyberbullying defense mechanisms.
