Abstract

This paper focuses on constructing a criminal law regulatory framework for brushing and credit manipulation behaviors from the perspective of data crimes, conducting multidimensional analysis of such activities. Firstly, it elaborates on the research background, pointing out that brushing and credit manipulation behaviors hinder the healthy development of e-commerce, while existing civil and administrative regulatory mechanisms face implementation challenges and criminal legislation lags behind. These activities infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, business operators, and e-commerce platforms, while also undermining fair competition order.Subsequently, the paper analyzes the constitutive elements and social harms of brushing and credit manipulation, exploring controversies surrounding criminal law intervention. The identified contributing factors include inadequate supervision by e-commerce platforms, complexities in applying criminal law to different entities, discrepancies in judicial rulings, and ambiguity in the definition of criminal offenses. To address these issues, this paper proposes constructing a criminal law regulatory framework for brushing and credit manipulation from the perspective of data crime. It puts forward solutions including strengthening supervision of e-commerce platforms, clarifying legal responsibilities of all entities, unifying judicial adjudication standards , and improving the application of relevant criminal charges. The objective is to effectively curb brushing and credit manipulation, thereby safeguarding the fair competition order in the e-commerce market and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
