Then this thesis systematically analyses legal norms, management Countermeasures and governance instruments employed by governments, non-government organizations and trade organizations home and abroad for governance of offensive online material. Except the effect of these Countermeasures, there are still lots of problems such as jurisdiction and standard identification need to be solved. And to solve those problems, the relevant government sectors must take their responsibility in policy setting and legal norm improvement, while the society as a whole must cooperate, such as promoting the network industry to strengthen their moral self-discipline.Thesis argues that governance of offensive online material needs a synthetically management framework containing instruments of law, policy, technology and moral principles. And it should be made sure that these management instruments coordinate mutually. Only through this, can the effective management of network be achieved and a cyberspace free of pollution and noise be built as well as can the internet and network material resource sufficiently play their role and a healthy and orderly network information exchange environment be established.
