A Chinese Web site and a netizen were ordered by the People’s Court in Beijing to compensate the plaintiff.
The case was about an user of Renrou Search Engine who launched a ‘virtual lynching’ by encouraging users to search for and reveal the targets’ private information.
The defendants, Daqi.com, Tianya.com and a netizen named Zhang Leyi, who established orionchris.cn, were sued by Wang Fei for posting his deceased wife’s blog.
His wife, Jiang Yan, killed herself after discovering her husband was having an affair.
The personal blog recorded the two-months preceding Jiang Yan’s suicide.
The blog revealed the real name and addresses of Wang Fei. This caused many netizens to publicly harass Wang and his family.
