Is it illegal to send messages and swear? What crime?

Whether it is illegal to send a message to swear depends on the content and consequences of swearing. The content of swearing is insulting or defamatory, and if the circumstances are serious, it may constitute insult or slander. However, in general, although slight swearing is immoral, it does not constitute a crime.

First, the definition of the crime of insult and slander

The crime of insult refers to the act of publicly slandering others by violence or other means. Defamation refers to the act of deliberately fabricating and spreading some fictional facts, which damages the personality and reputation of others. If sending a message to call names involves insult or slander, and the circumstances are serious, you may commit these two crimes.

Second, the judgment of the seriousness of the plot.

The key to judging whether sending messages to curse people constitutes a crime lies in the seriousness of the plot. This usually depends on the severity of abusive content, the scope of spread, the impact on victims and other factors. If the abusive content is extremely bad and widely spread, causing serious psychological or social impact on the victim, it can be considered that the circumstances are serious.

Three. Legal responsibilities and consequences

If sending a message to call names constitutes insult or slander, the actor will bear the corresponding legal responsibility. This may include civil liability (such as compensation for mental damage of the victim) and criminal liability (such as criminal detention and fixed-term imprisonment, etc.). In addition, the social reputation and interpersonal relationship of the actor may also be negatively affected.

Fourth, how to avoid breaking the law?

In order to avoid sending messages and swearing against the law, we should respect the personality and reputation of others and avoid using insulting or defamatory language. When encountering contradictions or conflicts, we should solve the problem through peaceful means such as communication and consultation, rather than resorting to violent means such as abuse.

To sum up:

Whether it is illegal to send a message to swear depends on the content and consequences of swearing. Those who are involved in insult or slander and whose circumstances are serious may constitute a crime and bear corresponding legal responsibilities. In order to avoid breaking the law, we should respect the language of others and civilizations and resolve conflicts through peaceful means.

Legal basis:

Criminal law of the people's Republic of China

Article 246 stipulates that whoever publicly insults others by violence or other means or fabricates facts to slander others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. The crimes mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be dealt with only if they are told, except those that seriously endanger social order and national interests. If the victim informs the people's court of the acts specified in the first paragraph through the information network, but it is really difficult to provide evidence, the people's court may request the public security organ to provide assistance.
