Abstract

As a new type of network anomie phenomenon that is highly organized, young, and deeply coupled with technology in the era of big data, online violence in the fan circle has become a prominent problem that erodes network civilization and infringes on the rights and interests of citizens. There are many forms and forms, and they show the characteristics of “the law does not blame the public”, strong concealment, and difficult governance.

This study identifies systemic challenges in addressing online violence within fan communities, including insufficient legal frameworks, procedural coordination gaps, ambiguous platform accountability, and delayed law enforcement. To tackle these issues, a comprehensive legal solution should be implemented through “prevention-focused, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and end-to-end governance.” Key measures include: Enacting a dedicated Cyberbullying Prevention Law to strengthen existing regulations; Clarifying organizational cyberbullying liabilities to resolve the “collective immunity” dilemma; Enhancing platform accountability through algorithmic optimization, cross-platform data sharing, and transparent oversight; Streamlining judicial coordination by lowering thresholds for private prosecution cases and establishing rapid response mechanisms for digital evidence preservation; Integrating digital literacy education into national curricula to foster responsible fandom culture, with celebrities and management agencies obligated to regulate fan behavior.

On the whole, it is necessary to establish and improve a diversified governance system led by the government, the responsibility of the platform, the self-discipline of the industry, the supervision of all aspects of society, and the extensive participation of the people, so as to rely on the rule of law to guide the fan circle culture from disorder to order, so as to make cyberspace cleaner and clearer.
