In online novels, the plot of characters using social networks to spread false information to combat competitors usually reflects the hazards of online violence and information manipulation in real society. However, we must clearly realize that this kind of behavior is illegal in reality, not only harming the reputation of others and social order, but may also violate the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" and "Network Security Law" and other relevant laws and regulations. Chinese law clearly prohibits the compilation and dissemination of false information. We should jointly maintain a clear cyberspace, actively report bad information, and do not participate in or spread any false and harmful content. For such plots in online novels, we should treat them rationally, do not imitate or promote them, adhere to correct values, and jointly create a healthy and positive online environment.
