摘要： 网络造谣、传谣行为突破了时空的限制，超越了以往的规模，加剧了掌控的难度，催生了职业“网络推手”，其社会危害性呈几何级数增长。网络造谣、传谣行为的本质是线下的传统造谣、传谣行为的互联网化与“升级版”，刑法对其的规制力度应当更大。然而，现行刑法中规制网络造谣、传谣行为的罪名体系呈现出非专有罪名规制乏力、专有罪名规制范围有限的现状，导致刑事立法的“力有不逮”以及刑事司法的“越俎代庖”。对此，刑法应根据网络犯罪的特殊属性，通过完善规制网络造谣、传谣行为的非专有罪名和新增设的编造、故意传播虚假信息罪这一专有罪名，以重构规制网络造谣、传谣行为的罪名体系。这才是刑法规制网络造谣、传谣行为的应然路径。
