Micro-groups of spreading pornographic videos, the main group "guilt"-micro, micro-groups-IT information

A few days ago, yunhe County, Zhejiang Province people's Court with the use of group cases of spreading pornographic videos. Worth noting is that in this case, the implementation of micro-letter of committing crime group members and the group have been sentenced to penalties. Communication University of China, said Wang Sixin, Internet law and intellectual property Research Center Director, yunhe County people's Court on the judgement of this case has aroused widespread concern in society.

Received much attention, partly because a lot of people didn't think in the trade group, a relatively closed, limited number of cyberspace, "offenders" the consequences will be so severe; the other hand did not expect the app group member of the Group illegal, the group will also be investigated for legal responsibility. However, it was also questioned whether the Court has a clear legal basis; questioned the Group's decision is too heavy.

Parties Court clear said, according to Supreme People's Court, and highest people's Procuratorate on handle using Internet, and mobile communications Terminal, and sound news Taiwan making, and copy, and published, and trafficking, and spread obscene electronic information criminal case specific application legal several problem of explained (2010 3rd,) third article provides, using Internet established main for spread obscene electronic information of group, members up 30 people above or caused serious consequences of, on established who, and managers and main spread who, In accordance with Article No. 364 of the criminal law provisions of the first paragraph, convicted and punished on charges of spreading obscene articles.

This shows that the Court's decision in law, legally decided. With the prevalence of social software, many users overnight with a new identity: the main group. In areas such as micro-groups such as network organizations, main power is very big, not only can other people into the group, while some people kicked out of the group. Especially with a large group of theme class micro-letter group, as the main group can also organize offline events, or cooperate with various businesses, obtain real benefits.

But for many the main group, but only know how to use their rights, while ignoring their fair share of administrative obligations. In fact, in accordance with the provisions of national law, micro-social media group publish information has a responsibility to clear the Group's rules, so that all members of the group know and abide by the rules; there is responsibility to members of the group to carry out the necessary supervision and inspection. And once the main building groups, information exchanges and communication with the group, unable to effectively manage groups of illegal information, is not fulfilling obligations provided by law, must bear the corresponding legal responsibility. This is the main group in this case he did not publish pornographic information, but eventually publishing obscene information and group members were given suspended sentences of the cause.

Of Internet users across the country, in this case a warning sense, also have a sample ... Sentencing of the case means that various social networking communities far outside the law, and must also comply with the relevant laws and regulations of the country, but also as groups such as managers, in restraining their action at the same time, also to assume management responsibilities to other members of the group, in accordance with law on group members release all kinds of information, exchange of information monitoring and management. Otherwise, it is possible in cases like this the main group because members of the Group illegal and accountability under the law.

微信群群员传播淫秽视频，群主“连坐” - 微信,微信群 - IT资讯

日前，浙江省云和县人民法院审理了一起利用微信群传播淫秽视频的案件。值得注意的是，在该案中，实施违法犯罪的微信群成员和群主都被依法判处了刑罚。中国传媒大学网络法与知识产权研究中心主任王四新说，云和县人民法院对此案的判决引起了社会的广泛关注。

之所以引发关注，一方面是因为很多人没有想到在微信群这种相对封闭，人数也有限的网络空间，“犯事”的后果也会如此严重；另一方面更没想到微信群的群员违法，群主也会被追究相关法律责任。但是，也有人质疑法院判决是否有明确的法律依据；有人质疑对群主的判决是不是太重了。

当事法院明确表示，依据最高人民法院、最高人民检察院《关于办理利用互联网、移动通讯终端、声讯台制作、复制、出版、贩卖、传播淫秽电子信息刑事案件具体应用法律若干问题的解释》（2010年3号）第三条规定，利用互联网建立主要用于传播淫秽电子信息的群组，成员达30人以上或者造成严重后果的，对建立者、管理者和主要传播者，依照刑法第三百六十四条第一款的规定，以传播淫秽物品罪定罪处罚。

由此可见，法院的判决于法有据，也是依法判决。随着各种社交软件的盛行，很多网友一夜之间拥有了一个新的身份：群主。在诸如微信群这样的网络组织中，群主的权力很大，不但可以拉其他人进群，同时还可以把一些人踢出群。尤其是一些拥有大量群员的主题类微信群，作为群主还可以通过组织线下活动，或者是和各路商家合作，获得现实利益。

但是对于很多群主来说，却只懂得使用自己的权利，而忽视了自己应该承担的管理义务。实际上，按照国家相关法律的规定，微信等社交媒体的群主有责任明确群里发布信息的规则，让群内所有成员知晓和遵守规则；有责任对群内成员的言论进行必要的监督、检查等。而一旦群主在建群、运用群进行信息交流和沟通时，不能对群里的违法信息进行有效管理，就等于没有履行法律规定的义务，势必要承担相应的法律责任。这就是该起案件中群主自己没有发布淫秽信息，最终却和发布淫秽信息的群员一同被判缓刑的原因所在。

对全国的网友来说，这起案件既有警示意义，也有标本意义。案件的宣判意味着，各种网络社交群落非但不是法外之地，同样要遵守国家的相关法律法规，而且作为群主等管理人员，在约束好自己行为的同时，还要承担起对其他群成员的管理责任，依法加强对群成员发布各类信息、交流各种资讯的监督和管理工作。否则，就可能像案件中这名群主一样，因为群成员违法而受到法律的追责。
