Unauthorized use of minors' portraits will result in online stores bearing infringement liability; Minors' online infringement, guardians should bear the liability for infringement; Minors who commit crimes under the influence of the internet shall bear criminal responsibility in accordance with the law. On November 20, 2025, the Supreme People's Court released the above three typical cases of juvenile network protection and punishment for illegal crimes, effectively playing the role of judicial judgment demonstration, education, and guidance, and strengthening the punishment and prevention of juvenile network crimes. This is just a microcosm of the political and legal authorities building a solid barrier for the protection of minors' networks in accordance with the law. In recent years, minors' access to the Internet has become younger and more regular. While enjoying the convenience brought by the Internet, minors are also facing multiple risks. The Regulations on the Protection of Minors on the Internet will come into effect on January 1, 2024. As the first specialized comprehensive legislation on the protection of minors on the Internet in China, it marks a new stage in the construction of the rule of law for the protection of minors on the Internet. The political and legal organs govern in accordance with the law, deepen and implement judicial protection for minors in cyberspace, promote the construction of a comprehensive protection system through measures such as strengthening legal enforcement, cross departmental cooperation, and preventive education, and effectively create a clear cyberspace for minors. ”Wang Bin, Secretary General of the Juvenile Network Protection and Development Working Committee of the China Internet Association, told the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily. Cutting off the Black Hand: Faced with the increasingly prominent issue of underage cybersecurity, the political and legal organs take law enforcement and case handling as the starting point, severely crack down on various online activities that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of minors, and cut off the "black hands" of cybercrime targeting minors. In recent years, the procuratorial organs of Jiangsu Province have focused on cracking down on the use of dating apps and games to commit crimes against minors, including coercing or inducing minors to send private photos, videos, etc. In 2024, 21 cases of "zero confession" will be charged in the province, 10 people will be pursued and prosecuted, and 21 cases will be supervised and filed. Recently, the online police of Putian City, Fujian Province, successfully detected a case of information network criminal activity of luring minors to purchase real name mobile phone cards to provide communication channels for overseas fraudsters in the "Jingwang 2025" special work, and captured 8 suspect. Technologies such as big data analysis and artificial intelligence recognition are empowering political and legal agencies to improve the quality and efficiency of precision strikes, achieving a shift from "passive defense" to "active attack". In February 2025, the People's Procuratorate of Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province found that the locked suspect had contacted the victim as an online friend when handling a case of infringement against minors. The prosecutor in charge determined that there may be other clues related to online sexual assault hidden in the victim's phone. Immediately, Zhangjiagang Municipal Procuratorate launched the "prosecutor+technical officer" mode, analyzed and judged the electronic data in the victim's mobile phone, extracted the key chat records, and compared the electronic evidence with the victim's statement one by one, finally guiding the local public security organ to target three suspect suspected of sexual assault. All the above-mentioned suspect have been filed and transferred for examination and prosecution in accordance with the law, and have been sentenced to criminal penalties. Since 2025, Zhangjiagang Procuratorate has handled 2 cases of minors involved in cybercrime and 3 cases of minors being harmed through the internet, continuously strengthening the network security barrier for minors. The network security departments of public security organs in Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other places are closely following the trend of digitalization and intelligence development, driven by technological innovation, building a network security protection system for minors, actively exploring the application of artificial intelligence in practical situations, using AI big models to greatly reduce the time for short search collection, and effectively improving work standardization and efficiency. The Regulations on the Protection of Minors on the Internet, which focus on regulating the content of online information, protecting personal information, and preventing minors from becoming addicted to the Internet, stipulate the responsibilities of network product and service providers, schools, families, and relevant government departments, and provide clear legal basis for political and legal organs to perform their duties in accordance with the law. ”Wang Bin said. In order to build a governance system that runs through the entire process of "early warning intervention traceability", political and legal organs insist on shifting the focus of governance, cleaning up network security risks that harm minors from the source, and promoting the formation of a long-term mechanism that addresses both the symptoms and root causes. The People's Procuratorate of Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, fully utilizes the "National Digital Prosecution Application Platform" to screen for clues related to minors' online infringement and risk warning models. It intelligently analyzes high-frequency words and abnormal behavior patterns in public or reported information, striving to identify suspicious clues during the implementation of infringement or before causing greater harm, and promptly transfer them for investigation or initiate intervention procedures. This measure is in line with the full chain governance requirements of 'prevention before, intervention during, and traceability after the incident', and is a positive practice to fundamentally reduce and curb juvenile related online crimes and create a clear cyberspace. ”Chen Qianyi, Deputy Director of the Seventh Procuratorial Department of Luzhou Procuratorate, said. Since 2024, Shanghai public security organs have guided key online game companies in the city to build a "growth and care platform", strengthening account identity verification through real name authentication, manual inspections, and other methods; Promote more than 20 online live streaming platforms to improve the "youth model", establish a refund application process for minors' unauthorized consumption, and open a channel for minors to give tips, complain and report. In addition, in response to the issue of online violence, the Shanghai public security organs have guided the platform to promptly clean up relevant negative information, such as promoting the launch of online violence prevention tools on a certain social platform. Within one year, more than 4800 negative information related to online violence were cleaned up, and more than 230 illegal accounts were closed, with significant governance results. Along with the combination of technology and regulation, strengthening the platform's main responsibility has also become a key focus for political and legal organs to build a strong defense line for minors' network security. Shanxi public security organs promote local Internet platform enterprises to improve the information release review mechanism, implement illegal and harmful information filtering measures, and achieve source protection. The Beijing Internet Court, through judicial advice, urged the platform to plug the loopholes in the mechanism, and worked with Internet industry organizations to promote more high-quality online content creation. The protection of minors' online lives through legal education is a systematic project that requires multi-party collaboration and comprehensive measures. The political and legal organs actively explore the work pattern of "judicial guidance and diversified participation", constantly innovate the forms of legal publicity, and let the concept of the rule of law infiltrate the underage group in a more vivid way. Now in court! ”On March 24, 2025, a simulated court with students playing the roles of "judge", "prosecutor", "defense counsel" and other roles was staged brilliantly at a middle school in Shanghang County, Fujian Province. This immersive simulation trial adapted from a real online fraud case allows students to recognize the hidden traps behind lures such as "free skins" in their character experience. The People's Court of Shanghang County will normalize the "simulated court" and make it a vivid classroom for legal education. Through "role-playing+real-life experience", it effectively enhances the legal awareness of young people and builds a strong defense line for network security. In July 2025, the procuratorial organs of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, launched a rule of law summer camp activity with the theme of cybercrime, and set up a rule of law live lecture hall for 1200 young people from 28 summer classes and holiday schools in the entire district through the "Comprehensive Prosecution E-Station"; Jointly with multiple grassroots procuratorates across the country, we have launched public welfare legal education campaigns such as "Green Net Summer" and "Green Net Plan", and produced a series of legal education videos to address issues such as "dangerous imitation of actions by minors caused by short online videos", creating an immersive new scene for legal education. Precise drip irrigation, on-demand delivery, and a specialized team make legal education more tailored to the needs of minors. The legal education teams formed in Beijing, Chongqing, Gansu and other places continue to penetrate into schools, giving lectures on the rule of law, knowledge quizzes, themed performances and other forms to help children's awareness of cybersecurity take root and sprout in their hearts. Since 2024, our women's legal education propaganda team has visited multiple schools, conducted more than 3000 special lectures, distributed over 122000 propaganda materials, and accurately promoted the protection of minors' networks as a key content. ”Dou Hongtao, Deputy Captain of the Economic and Cultural Security Brigade of the Public Security Detachment of Kunming Public Security Bureau in Yunnan Province, introduced. In Wang Bin's opinion, to further improve the online protection of minors, it is necessary for political and legal authorities to work together with relevant industry associations, schools, and communities to establish a normalized mechanism. In the face of the various fraudulent methods and dissemination of harmful information on the Internet, political and legal authorities can work together with relevant departments to break down data barriers, achieve information sharing and rapid response, timely carry out legal education and publicity for online behaviors that seriously harm the physical and mental health of minors, and enhance the prevention awareness and response capabilities of young people and parents. ”Wang Bin told reporters. In addition, Wang Bin suggested that the political and legal authorities can cooperate with Internet platform enterprises to set up the position of network security supervisor, regularly carry out network security risk assessment for social networking, games, live broadcast and other platforms that are frequently used by minors, and promote the establishment of an integrated mechanism for content review, behavior monitoring and reporting response.
