Research On The Boundary Of Internet Platform Governance And Legal Regulation

Internet platform governance is the sum of public affairs in the Internet platform management platform.On the one hand,the Internet platform should participate in the industry competition and belong to the market participants;On the other hand,the Internet platform has the management authority to the users in the platform,and is the de facto manager of this specific field.The dual role orientation of this Internet platform is determined by the market economic characteristics of China’s market which plays a decisive role in resource allocation.The latest development of government and market boundary theory and public governance theory provides a theoretical basis for the Internet platform to participate in public governance and its boundary division with legal regulation: with the continuous maturity of information technology and platform economic model,many public service providers are gradually transferred from the government to the Internet platform.At the same time,public governance also emphasizes the diversification of governance subjects.It is not only legitimate but also necessary for private subjects to participate in public governance.The identity of the Internet platform manager determines that it has participated in the ranks of public governance,but the identity of its market participants and its inherent profit nature lead to the natural defects of the platform governance,which need to be regulated by law.The advantages of technology,cost and timeliness determine the priority of platform in Internet governance,and the legal regulation is limited.If we want to give full play to the governance function of Internet platform,we need to make clear the boundary between platform governance and legal regulation.The competition order of Internet platform,the information security of platform users and the protection of consumers’ rights and interests are related to the public interests of Internet platform users.In addition,the monopoly trend of China’s leading Internet enterprises,the low public acceptance of personal information dominated by the private sector,and the poor neutrality of Internet platform in e-commerce transactions are also the reasons,Platform governance in the three areas of governance can not exist,need legal intervention.In this regard,we need to improve China’s "anti-monopoly law","consumer protection law" and other laws and regulations,strengthen the Legislative Research of personal information protection law.In the governance process of Internet platform,there will be governance gaps such as ignoring bad information and allowing distorted information.The main reasons for this phenomenon are lack of platform governance power and weak awareness of platform users’ rights.Bad information and distorted information are the negative externalities in the development of Internet platform,which should be regulated by increasing punishment.This paper mainly uses the methods of literature analysis,normative analysis and case analysis to study the above contents.
