Study On The Protection And Regulation Of Freedom Of Speech In International Social Networking

The protection and regulation of the right to freedom of speech have always been paid attention to by the international community and other countries in the world.With the advent of the information age,the emergence of the Internet has profoundly changed the traditional structure of people’s lives and communication.The transition from the real society to the virtual network society has formed a new mode of communication and communication in the cyberspace-“network social”.In this context,the “right to freedom of expression of international network social media” in which transnational users express and disseminate their opinions on any international network social platform,further promotes world political democracy,promotes the dissemination of world culture and promotes the realization of the self-worth of all peoples.However,when the US network social media implemented the actions of deleting and disabling user accounts registered in China or other countries,many controversies over the right to freedom of speech in international network social platforms have aroused intense discussions between the international community and countries around the world.On the surface,the United States is a country that constantly to advocates democracy and freedom under the banner of “Internet freedom” to the international community and other countries in the world.So why did the social media companies that were born and developed in this democratic and free country delete and deactivate platform registered user accounts because of the freedom and boundaries of users’ publication and dissemination of speech? Does their behavior violate the user’s right to freedom of speech? The probing of this issue requires analysis based on the rich theoretical basis and legal background related to the traditional right to freedom of speech.First of all,the right of freedom of speech in international social networking can be regarded as an extension of the traditional right of freedom of speech on social networking platforms.Secondly,in the real society,people may conflict with other social interests or private rights while exercising their right to freedom of speech.Therefore,while protecting the traditional right of freedom of speech,corresponding restrictions must be imposed.In the same way,the right to freedom of speech in international social networking needs to be regulated accordingly.From the above analysis,we can see that while protecting the right to freedom of speech in international social networking platforms,it also needs to be restricted.So why does the regulatory behavior of US network social media companies deleting user accounts arouse everyone’s attention and controversy? For this,it can be analyzed from two aspects: the legitimacy and rationality of the behavior.Judging from the legality of the US network social media behavior,US network social media through the “Platform Policy Rules” judged that the nature of the user’s comments on the network social platform is a violation of the platform policy rules,and the account and comments are deleted based on the user registration agreement and legal authorization.This behavior does not violate US law,nor does it involve infringement of the user’s right to freedom of speech.Judging from whether the US online social media behavior is reasonable.In order to deepen the international community’s misunderstanding with the rest of the world about China through the orientation of public opinion,the US network social media also constantly promotes the "internet freedom" strategy,so as to achieve the goal of the United States to control and grasp the international community’s voice.From this,it can be inferred that,in the context of the “Internet freedom” shaped by the United States,the actions of deleting or disabling some accounts on network social media do not seem to be in line with “American freedom”,which has led many people to believe that this behavior is unreasonable.Through the above analysis of the behavior of American network social media,it can be seen that in the international network social platform,registered users in different countries may have a great difference in the nature of the content of a speech,and the subject that ultimately has the right to judge the nature of speech is often the network social media itself.At the same time,the development strategies and development goals of cyberspace held by different countries are not the same,so that the protection and regulation of freedom of expression on the Internet in different countries also exist.To this end,the protection and regulation of the right to freedom of expression in international online social platforms through the international community or international law requires clear lines of protection and regulation of the right to freedom of expression in international online social platforms.In order to maintain the order of network virtual society and international cyberspace to the maximum extent,protect and regulate the right of freedom of expression in the international network social platform.
