With the rapid development of the Internet, major platforms have sprung up, and they have profoundly changed people's lifestyles with their strong influence and convenience. However, in this wave, we can't help but be wary of a phenomenon: some Internet platforms seem to be stepping beyond the boundaries of the law, putting themselves in the supreme position, and becoming the de facto "emperor of the soil". This phenomenon of "power expansion" not only undermines the cornerstone of a society governed by the rule of law, but also has a far-reaching impact on normal social exchanges, especially posing a potential threat to the growth of the younger generation.
As these platforms continue to expand, some worrisome phenomena are gradually emerging. One of the most notable is the proliferation of "sensitive words", which not only distort normal language communication, but also pose a potential challenge to the authority of the law. Against this backdrop, we must examine whether the current laws can still adapt to the development of the times, and whether we should impose stricter legal constraints on Internet giants to protect our linguistic culture and the rule of law.
Language is not only a tool for communication, but also a carrier of culture. When internet platforms create various variations to replace "sensitive words" in order to circumvent regulation, they are actually eroding the purity and normativity of language. WeChat is called "green pp", QQ is called "penguin", and money is called "rice", and this casual substitution is not only confusing, but also can lead to language confusion. Especially for children who are in the stage of language acquisition, living in such an environment full of variant vocabulary for a long time will have a serious impact on their language cognition and expression skills. In the long run, our Chinese language may become unrecognizable.
More seriously, these platforms often go beyond the boundaries of the law in the process of law enforcement. They use their own rules and standards as the basis to punish and restrict users, and even deprive users of their property and rights. This phenomenon of "power expansion" has made the platform a de facto "soil emperor", posing a serious challenge to the rule of law and order of society.
This kind of behavior of the internet platform is actually evading legal responsibility. They set their own rules, censor themselves, and even sanction themselves within their own ecosystems, as if they were beyond the law. This phenomenon not only violates the principle that "nothing is prohibited by law", but also openly challenges the legal authority of the state. If this situation is allowed to develop, the dignity and effectiveness of the law will be seriously undermined, and there will be no fairness and justice in society.
This phenomenon of "power inflation" undermines the cornerstone of a society governed by the rule of law. The basic characteristics of a society governed by the rule of law are the universality and authority of the law, that is, everyone is equal before the law, and no one can go beyond the boundaries of the law. However, in the current internet environment, some platforms are putting themselves above the law and enforcing the law based on their own rules and standards. This kind of behavior not only undermines the universality and authority of the law, but also seriously challenges the rule of law and order in society.
The phenomenon of sensitive words challenges the principle of "the supremacy of law" in a society governed by the rule of law. In a society governed by the rule of law, the law is supreme, and no organization or individual can be above the law. However, the existence of the phenomenon of sensitive words has caused some internet platforms to go beyond the boundaries of the law in the process of law enforcement and review and manage them on the basis of their own rules and standards, thus weakening the authority and universality of the law. This phenomenon not only undermines the cornerstone of a society governed by the rule of law, but also hinders the normal exchange and development of society.
The phenomenon of sensitive words can lead to violations of civil rights. In a society governed by the rule of law, citizens enjoy basic rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of information. However, the phenomenon of sensitive words may lead to the infringement of these rights. Internet platforms filter and delete information posted by users by setting sensitive words, which may mistakenly delete some legitimate and legitimate speech, thus restricting citizens' freedom of speech. In addition, some platforms may abuse the sensitive word mechanism to deprive users of their property and rights, further infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.
This phenomenon of "power inflation" has had a profound impact on the normal communication of society. Language is the basic tool of human communication, and it is an important means for people to express their thoughts and convey information. However, in internet platforms, people have to use variant words to communicate due to the restriction and censorship of sensitive words. The emergence of this variant of words not only affects people's normal communication, but also has a negative impact on the development of language. Especially for the younger generation, who have lived in an environment with this variation of words since childhood, it poses a serious obstacle to normal language communication.
This phenomenon of "power inflation" poses a potential threat to social stability and development. As one of the important infrastructures of modern society, the influence and role of Internet platforms are becoming increasingly prominent. However, if these platforms go beyond the boundaries of the law in the process of law enforcement and impose penalties and restrictions based on their own rules and standards, then they have the potential to become an obstacle to social stability and development. For example, some platforms may abuse their power to deprive users of their property and rights; or over-interpret and exaggerate sensitive issues in society, causing social unrest and turmoil.
The normativity of language and the authority of law are the cornerstones of social order. Internet platforms, as a medium of communication in the new era, should not be a tool to undermine this cornerstone. We need to ensure the healthy and harmonious development of society through legal means that not only protect freedom of speech, but also safeguard the purity of language and the dignity of the law.
The phenomenon of "power expansion" on Internet platforms has had a serious impact on the rule of law and normal communication in society. In order to maintain social stability and development, we must strengthen the rule of law supervision and power restraint of Internet platforms, and curb the momentum of their "power expansion". Only in this way can we establish a healthy, orderly and harmonious Internet environment and provide strong support for the progress and development of society. In the face of the growing influence of Internet platforms and the problems brought about by them, we must strengthen the formulation and enforcement of laws and carry out necessary supervision and restraint on platforms. Only in this way can we protect our language and culture, uphold the dignity of the law, and promote the all-round progress of society.
