Libellous posts can lead to 3 years in jail in China
With Internet users in China exceeding 600 million, the speed with which online rumors can be disseminated has proven a headache for the government. Last September, the country's top court and prosecutor came up with a regulation to further crack down on online rumors.
隨著中國網民超過6億，網絡謠言的迅速傳播已成為政府的一大難題。去年九月，我國最高法院和最高檢察院出臺新規加強制裁網絡謠言。
The ruling said if one posts online rumors that harm the reputation of others, and the post is viewed 5,000 times or reposted more than 500 times, he will be charged with defamation and face up to three years in jail.
這項規定顯示，如果有人散布網絡謠言中傷他人，并且謠言被瀏覽超過5000次或被轉發超過500次，那么此人將以誹謗罪被判入獄3年。
Those who knowingly provide funds, location or technical support for others to defame can be charged as an accomplice.Those who unknowingly spread a rumor will not be found guilty.
那些為他人誹謗提供金錢，平臺或技術支持的將以同謀罪被起訴，而因不知情誤傳謠言者將被視為無罪。
