Recently, the Ministry of Public Security announced 10 typical cases of cracking down on illegal activities of the "cyber navy" in accordance with the law. Since the beginning of this year, public security organs across the country have cracked down on over 900 related cases and arrested more than 5000 suspects. Through phased crackdowns, they have made every effort to squeeze the space for illegal and criminal activities of the "cyber navy" and effectively maintained public order on the internet. In recent years, the illegal and criminal activities of the "Internet Water Army" have become increasingly rampant, seriously disrupting the normal order of the Internet, affecting the true dissemination of information and the healthy development of society. The vast number of netizens have suffered greatly and deeply abhor this. From previous media investigations and reports, it can be seen that the "Internet Water Army" has formed a black and grey industry chain that integrates planning, organization, implementation, dissemination, and benefits. The release of typical cases by the Ministry of Public Security this time is a powerful response to the concerns of various sectors of society and the voices of the public. It demonstrates the determination and action of relevant departments to govern the online environment in accordance with the law, and strengthens the defense line for building a clean and upright cyberspace. At the same time, it also provides clear reference examples and strong law enforcement guidance for the subsequent crackdown on similar illegal and criminal activities, demonstrating the firm attitude of law enforcement agencies to vigorously promote the governance of the "network water army" black and gray industry and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the vast number of netizens. From typical cases, some "internet water armies" artificially create false product sales data and commercial reputation through false transactions, brushing positive reviews, and other means, disrupting the fair competition market environment; Some threaten and extort individuals, businesses, or organizations by mining negative information from others or creating false and unfavorable content, forcing victims to pay a "sealing fee" to avoid the disclosure or malicious dissemination of relevant information; Some manipulate a large number of fake accounts to like, comment, forward specific content, or conduct malicious negative reviews, reports, and other operations on competitors, influencing the direction of online public opinion and affecting the public's rational judgment of things. Objectively speaking, these 10 cases have both coverage and representativeness. The wide coverage is reflected in its coverage of various key nodes of the illegal activities of the "network water army", from the fabrication of rumors, the implementation of extortion and blackmail, to the operation of brushing quantity control and evaluation, and then to the concealment of illegal facts through deletion of posts and other means, presenting a clear and complete chain of illegal activities. Its representativeness lies in the fact that these cases precisely focus on the most prominent, typical, and harmful methods of various "network water armies" in the current network environment. Whether it is credit fraud in the business field, extortion and evil deeds against individuals and organizations, or malicious manipulation in the public opinion field, they are all chaos that urgently need to be rectified. Although the circumstances of these cases are different, their black hands have all extended to the online order and the legitimate rights and interests of netizens, causing great harm to society. The perpetrators have been punished severely, which is their own fault. We will comprehensively crack down on the illegal and criminal activities of the "Internet Water Army" and make all aspects public, which also sends a strong signal of strict punishment by law enforcement agencies. This will have a powerful deterrent effect on those who are engaged in or attempting to "join" the "internet navy" illegal and criminal activities and attempt to make a big profit from them. The reason why the illegal and criminal activities of the "Internet Water Army" are repeatedly banned is undoubtedly due to the huge temptation of interests, but the fact that the crackdown in some areas is insufficient cannot be ignored. The underlying reason behind this is that some legal provisions are relatively vague, and there is a lack of clear judicial interpretations for vague expressions such as "serious circumstances", resulting in some places' law enforcement being lenient and limiting the actual effectiveness of the crackdown. The release of these typical cases by the Ministry of Public Security plays an important guiding role in the handling of relevant cases in various regions, helping to unify law enforcement standards, reduce law enforcement differences caused by differences in understanding or vague legal provisions, and ensure the fairness and rigor of law enforcement. The significance of online public opinion should be to stir up confusion and clarify the truth, objectively and fairly present facts, and urge relevant parties to improve their shortcomings, rather than creating a chaotic situation manipulated by interests and reversing right and wrong. It is hoped that through the release and continuous improvement of typical cases, the network public opinion environment will be further cleared up, so that true, rational and valuable voices can flow freely in the Internet world, and the cyberspace will become an important position to promote social development, cultural prosperity and ideological progress.
