A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put
online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, "Killing. Meet me in
the library Tuesday.", with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb
on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law
because of threatening(威胁) her school.
This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese
student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social
media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.
In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2019, Wu
Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on Weibo that she wanted to blow up
a building.
"Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social
media and the telephone," said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. "Although
the law of China protects people's right of free speech, it doesn't include words that
threaten others' lives and national safety."
"Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say "I'm strong",
said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.
The girl's mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble
before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didn't realize that what he put online was so serious.
"But not knowing the law doesn't mean the law will treat you any differently if you
break it," says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we'd better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social
media before we press "send"?
