近年來,隨著酸民文化崛起,網路言論霸凌風氣日益增長,網路使用者藉由網路匿名特性傳送詆毀他人名譽、散播不實言論或圖片,不難預測未來立法趨勢應會朝向訂定專法,或以附屬刑法方式對於網路霸凌言論予以約制;但同樣地,也會與憲法保障言論自由產生界限上的衝擊,本文借鑒國外防治網路言論霸凌之經驗,檢視我國法規範在面對網路傳播快速、匿名及無國界等特性下,仍有網路匿名身分難以查緝、網路不當言論下架機制未盡周延等項,如僅以抗制傳統犯罪為雛型之思維所為之修法,在犯罪偵查及對受害者保護等方面仍有不足而認有強化必要,但在兼顧人民基本權利及言論自由之法益衡平前提下,本文分別從制度面及法規面提供建議,其界限分際之拿捏也正考驗著我們對民主、對正義、對自由程度上的價值判斷,期望能為我國解決網路言論霸凌爭議,提供一套「防治」兼具「防制」之模式。
In recent years, with the rise of troll culture, online bullying has grown. Internet users use the anonymous nature of the Internet to transmit defamation of other people's reputation, disseminate false remarks or pictures, and it is not difficult to predict that the future legislative trend will be directed towards formulating special laws or subordinate criminal laws to restrain online bullying speech. But at the same time, this will also have a boundary impact with the constitutional protection of freedom of speech. With reference to the experience of foreign countries in preventing and controlling cyberbullying, this article examines that despite the rapid spread, anonymity, and borderless nature of the Internet, there are still problems such as the difficulty of checking online anonymity, and the imperfect mechanism for removing inappropriate comments on the Internet. If the revision of the law is only based on the thinking of fighting against traditional crimes, it is still insufficient in criminal investigation and protection of victims, and it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen it. However, on the premise of balancing the legal interests of people's basic rights and freedom of speech, this article provides suggestions from the institutional and legal aspects. The division of boundaries is also testing our value judgments on democracy, justice, and the degree of freedom. We hope to provide Taiwan with a set of "prevention" and " resistance" handling models to resolve the cyberbullying controversy.
