Chapter 847: Chapter 306: Helpless Reality, the Entire Forum Is Powerless! (Part 2)
"I say, the thoughtfulness in donating one yuan and that in donating a hundred makes no difference at all."
"They... Is this illegal? Did you call the police?"
"..."
A group of relatives finished reading the message on their phones, and they were furious on the spot.
Many even cursed out loud.
They had considered various possibilities but never thought it was sparked by one yuan.
Donating one yuan and being scolded.
Those netizens...
Probably never imagined that because of this one yuan, a life was nearly lost.
"I reported it to the police, but they said... there’s nothing they can do about it."
Beside.
Zhou Xiaoqing’s father, Zhou Zhen, clenched his fists, his face full of helplessness.
As soon as he learned that his daughter had jumped, he immediately put aside everything he was doing.
Hurried to the hospital.
While also calling the police.
But after the police understood the situation, they said it was a danger caused by personal volition.
Although the netizens said things like "why don’t you just die," legally, it at most disturbed the online order and violated online speech management regulations.
It does not constitute incitement to suicide.
"So the meaning is... our Xiaoqing can only lie like this for a lifetime?"
After hearing this, everyone’s faces turned somewhat unpleasant.
Discussion...
Came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone lowered their heads, speechless.
When it’s happening to them...
It seems like they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Perhaps the netizens would even say, who told her to be so fragile, unable to withstand even a little criticism.
And Zhou Xiaoqing...
Might never open her eyes to see this world again.
After a long while.
Among the relatives, Zhou Shaohui suddenly stood up and weakly said, "I recently joined a forum, there are quite a few people who know the law there, should I post Xiaoqing’s situation and ask for help?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhen and Wang Xia looked at each other.
Silently nodded.
At this point.
Even reporting to the police is useless, they can only give it a shot in the dark.
However...
They didn’t hold out much hope.
Especially Zhou Zhen. freewёbnoνel.com
As Zhou Xiaoqing’s father, he’s now overwhelmed with grief.
He wished he could find that netizen who said "why don’t you just die" and fight, life for life.
But...
Behind the veil of the internet, he couldn’t even find out who the other person was.
There’s no way to seek justice for his daughter.
...
Zizhou.
A certain upscale neighborhood.
"UP... gone on vacation?"
Qing Lan looked at the message reply, feeling a bit speechless.
When not streaming.
She was bored and sent Qin Mu a message.
Inviting Qin Mu for a ranked match.
But Qin Mu declined, saying he was touring the great landscapes of the country, on vacation here and there.
"Disappeared for more than half a month, could UP really be planning to quit the internet?"
Qing Lan pursed her lips, having an ominous feeling.
Since Qin Mu posted that video...
He really hadn’t bothered with these messy affairs, reportedly on a constant vacation.
She probed indirectly.
Didn’t find that Qin Mu had recently encountered any cases.
Seemed quite carefree.
But she always felt this didn’t match Qin Mu’s persona.
Normally speaking.
At this time, Qin Mu should be looking for material all over the place, then making videos advocating law.
And ever since Qin Mu went silent...
The online trolls indeed revived somewhat.
Even on Little Station, quite a few strange comments appeared.
"Could it be that previously, from high-intensity material searching... he got too tired?"
Qing Lan couldn’t help but murmur.
She thought that the reason Qin Mu was able to maintain such high-intensity updates before was because he was constantly looking for material.
In fact, it was not so.
Everything naturally found its way to Qin Mu.
"Forget it, just browsing the forum then."
Bored.
Qing Lan casually opened her daily must-visit Study Law Alliance Forum, wanting to pass some time.
Usually.
When Qin Mu hadn’t uploaded a video, she met many "like-minded people" on this forum.
Also learned quite a bit of "niche" legal knowledge.
Kind of like after-school supplementary learning.
On the forum, people occasionally shared cases.
Asking for help analyzing how to defend rights.
"Huh? Why is this post over three thousand floors?"
After opening the legal section, she immediately noticed a post.
The post had the highest buzz.
Over three thousand comments have already piled up.
The title was "A True Story: My Cousin Was Scolded into Jumping from a Building; Saved in Time but Became a Vegetative State."
The content talks about a twelve-year-old girl who was criticized and reproached by a group of netizens on a certain platform for donating too little.
After explanation.
The netizens were still relentless, not believing this young girl.
Finally.
Leading to the young girl, in a moment of thoughtlessness, jumping from a building to commit suicide.
Qing Lan read through the content, her brows furrowing tightly.
Just the content.
Made her a bit furious.
One yuan equating to a life, it’s truly ironic.
And the forum members were equally infuriated, as seen in the comments.
Comment 1: Can such a thing really happen? The parents of that little girl must be devastated.
Comment 2: No, the more I think, the angrier I get. You should report this to the police. Those trolls nearly scolded someone to death; they must face some consequences, right?
Comment 3: Didn’t they say? Reporting doesn’t work. Doesn’t anyone knowledgeable come out to speak about it?
Comment 4: How long has UP been out of the picture? Not even a month, right? How did something like this happen?
Comment 5: Only twelve years old, those with daughters at home can’t bear to hear this.
Comment 6: If my daughter encountered such a thing, I wouldn’t kill the whole family of those trolls?
Comment 7: The one above, not to discourage you, but you probably couldn’t even find where those trolls are located.
Comment 8: Hence, internet real-name system is essential, but unfortunately, even with real names, we ordinary people can’t get any information on these accounts.
Comment 9: Among the criticisms towards the little girl, that person who said she should go die, shouldn’t they be guilty of inciting suicide?
Comment 10: I’m a lawyer, let me say this, if the incitement is directed towards a person who has complete recognition ability towards suicidal behavior (adults and those who can fully recognize their actions), and the suicidal behavior does not infringe on or threaten the nation’s, collective’s, or others’ interests in the context of "Criminal Law," then it does not constitute a crime.
Comment 11: I’m a law major, and to add, the individual committing suicide is taking their own life, and adults and those capable of fully recognizing their actions have the right to dispose of their bodies, while the person being incited has full recognition capability over their behavior, hence the incitement act does not constitute any crime.
Comment 12: The above two are actually quite right. Making someone commit suicide is fine, not a crime.
Comment 13: After reading the explanations above, I’m even angrier, so these trolls won’t face any consequences at all?
Comment 14...
Thousands of replies.
All discussing this incident, trying to seek an explanation and justice for the victimized little girl.
But...
Even though the forum has many talented people, they didn’t find a suitable solution from a legal perspective.
Inciting someone to commit suicide does not constitute a crime.
Unless inciting a person with intellectual disabilities or mental illness to commit suicide, which would constitute a crime.
And this young girl...
Had just turned eight, having partial civil responsibility and cognitive abilities.
Although a minor, she should know the consequence of jumping off a building.
A normal person would not jump down a building.
Under these circumstances.
The other side won’t be guilty of incitement crime.
As for those trolls criticizing the one yuan donation...
According to previous cases provided by Qin Mu, these trolls might at most get a suspended sentence.
Moreover.
Though there are hundreds of insults, most are not up to the standard of quantity required for sentencing based on likes and shares.
Those who can be sued for defamation...
Would probably be only a dozen people at most.
During the avalanche.
Though every snowflake is a perpetrator, only parts can be punished.
This fact made many at the forum quite angry.
It’s also something inevitable in reality.
"Even after the person’s suicide, at most... it would just be a suspended sentence? And only for some people?"
Qing Lan finished reading over three thousand replies, taking a deep breath.
Trying to relieve her almost exploding lung due to rage.
Among over three thousand responses.
Many people in the legal field appeared, analyzing every aspect of the case.
In short.
Pursuing can be done, but the effect isn’t significant.
The netizen who said "why don’t you just die" won’t face any consequences at all.
