A man and a website were yesterday fined by a Beijing court for their involvement in the country's first online harassment lawsuit.
The Chaoyang District People's Court ordered Zhang Leyi and Beijing Lingyun Interactive Information and Technology Co Ltd to pay plaintiff Wang Fei 5,000 yuan ($732) and 3,000 yuan, respectively.
The fines were for invading Wang's privacy and tarnishing his reputation through online activities that included displaying his personal information for public viewing and abuse.
