What does the network police do?

The public security organs of 50 provinces and cities across the country have set up a unified public logo of "Internet Police Patrol Law Enforcement" on the Internet, which indicates that the Internet police have moved from behind the scenes to the front desk and become an open law enforcement force to maintain online order. This is a major event in the construction of the rule of law on the Internet.

The most common crimes on the internet are all kinds of fraud, stealing information, infringing on reputation and so on. Some criminals and criminal gangs in the real world will also leave clues on the Internet. With the comprehensive integration of the Internet and people's work and life, online order and security have become an important and active part of China's social security, and network police have become a special outpost of public security organs.

Extended data:

The network police have no obligation and responsibility to make moral or political evaluation on any remarks that do not violate the law on the Internet, and on this basis, investigate the spokesman. Internet police only care about illegal speech, especially serious illegal speech. Ordinary people can recognize what kind of speech is illegal. There are some vague boundaries, and the public existence of network police will help clarify these boundaries and help those who cross the border not to go too far.

In the real society, almost without exception, the police entering an area will be regarded as a sign of the rule of law and civilization in this area. This is a common experience in the modern world. Network police systems have also been established around the world. The Internet in China should not be an exception, and a few online public opinion activists should not make themselves an exception. We should praise the public inspection of China's cyber police and make ourselves the beneficiaries of this system, not the other way around.
