Cyber violence is about speech and expression.The legal regulation of cyber violence in-volves the balance between freedom of speech and personal privacy and personality rights.Around the world,the protection of freedom of speech mainly includes the American model that focuses on freedom,the German model that focuses on dignity,and the mixed model adopted in most countries,including China.Reputation is different from honor.The latter originates from the defense of noble dignity in hier-archical society,and then evolves into the concept of subjective reputation,that is,the legal interests vi-olated by the crime of insult.Reputation is a kind of reputation with social evaluation.It must be based on truth.Criminal law does not need to protect untrue reputation based on false facts,otherwise it will encourage hypocrisy.It is necessary to further distinguish the crime of insult into five different kinds:vi-olent insults belong to the category of atrocity crimes;defamatory insults constitute the crime of defama-tion;attacks based on true facts belong to the crime of infringing on citizens'personal information;hate speech has nothing to do with the crime of insult;abusive insults should be dealt with through non-crimi-nal means.Regarding cyber violence,the exercise of rights can be an important reason for committing a crime.Whether it is based on safeguarding public interests or personal interests,it may prevent the es-tablishment of a crime.
