Abstract:

The governance of online violence is a very complex issue. It not only requires the cooperation of multiple parties, but also calls for new ideas for the governance of online violence. As a legal tool for judicial participation in social governance, procuratorial public interest litigation can implement the governance thinking of “front-end, middle & back-end” of online violence, and achieve the multidimensional value pursuit concerning online violence, including risk prevention, damage relief, and restorative justice. The public and social nature of online violence, as well as the tolerance of policies and regulations, jointly establish the theoretical framework for public interest litigation in the prosecution of online violence. However, the expansion practice of public interest litigation for online violence prosecution still requires the introduction of corresponding litigation concepts, rules, and supporting systems to facilitate the smooth operation of the online violence prosecution public interest litigation system.
