“彩礼都是10万，你会选哪一个做女朋友？”

2023年10月，一张配着这句话的照片在网上引发热议。

A viral photo that led to the defamation and harassment of several college students has resulted in a court ruling in favor of the victims.

The incident began in October 2023, when a casual group photo of Xiao Ting, from Guangdong province, and her five university roommates was posted online with a caption: "The bride price is 100,000 yuan. Which one would you choose as your girlfriend?"

照片中的主角，是广东女孩小婷和她的五位大学室友。

小婷将这张生活照了社交平台，在被人盗图、造谣之后，彻底变了味。

网上的谣言迅速扩散，有人直接私信问小婷“是不是10万块钱就结婚？”

The photo was quickly stolen and altered without consent, spreading across social media. Some users even messaged Xiao Ting, asking if she'd marry for 100,000 yuan.

连家人和同事也看到了，尽管她们多次解释，仍免不了被议论和误解。

维权之路十分漫长。8月5日，CCTV《今日说法》栏目披露了这个案例的维权过程。

据小婷回忆，盗图并进行加工的账号，有33万粉丝，小婷等人的照片因此被大量浏览和转发。

The image was circulated by a social media account with over 330,000 followers, known for misusing women's photos to attract attention and sell products.

起初，她们选择私信对方，要求删除视频、停止造谣。

但对方不仅不回应，还继续发布修改版本的图片内容，又给女孩们添加了“一姐”“二姐”等称号，以及所谓的年龄与职业，甚至还开设了粉丝群，邀请网友进群，讨论女孩们相亲的话题。

The group initially tried to resolve the matter privately by asking the account owner to remove the content, but received no response. The account continued posting edited images and even promoted fan groups for "matchmaking" discussions about the girls.

小婷和朋友进群澄清，结果被直接拉黑。

据小婷等人的描述，该账号此前就多次盗用女生照片，配上彩礼等相关内容博眼球、赚流量，她们并非唯一的受害者。该账号还挂有商品橱窗，售卖各类生活用品，博主显然是在靠这些虚假内容引流带货。

面对不断的误解与骚扰，小婷最终决定诉诸法律，追究造谣者的责任。

2023年12月，小婷等人委托律师，起诉某互联网平台，要求其披露侵权者的身份信息。平台很快确认，造谣账号的管理者是20岁出头的广西男子卢某。

2024年3月，小婷等人提起第二次起诉，要求卢某赔偿经济损失2.5万元，同时消除影响，赔礼道歉。

Facing continued harassment and failed attempts to clarify the truth, the women turned to legal action. In December 2023, Xiao Ting and her friends filed a lawsuit against the hosting platform, seeking the identity of the account owner. The platform confirmed the account belonged to a man in his early twenties, surnamed Lu, from Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

A second lawsuit against Lu followed in March 2024, with the plaintiffs demanding 25,000 yuan in damages, a public apology, and the removal of defamatory content.

广州互联网法院受理此案。由于卢某一直回避，法院最终进行了公告送达，并如期开庭审理。

2024年9月，法院对本案作出一审判决。法官认为卢某的行为侵害了小婷等人的名誉权、肖像权，需要承担消除影响、恢复名誉、赔礼道歉等责任，同时赔偿小婷等人1.2万元。一审判决生效后，法院即刻会对案件赔偿进行强制执行。

The Guangzhou Internet Court accepted the case. In September 2024, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, finding Lu had violated their rights to reputation and image. He was ordered to issue an apology, delete the false content, and pay 12,000 yuan in compensation.

“支持勇敢者向不法行为作斗争，但不能让这些勇士成为孤勇者”“侵权易而维权难，这也是许多遭遇网络造谣的人最后放弃维权的原因”......案件结果公开后，引发了大家的热议。

有媒体评论称，网络造谣侵权不是无足轻重的小事，亟需制定更便捷高效的维权诉讼通道，尤其针对那些身份不明的匿名侵权者，应探索更有效的身份确认与追责机制。法律的执行力也必须跟上，正义不能是“象征性的胜利”，应该有实实在在的“收获”，才能对侵权者形成震慑。造谣者的“隐身术”再厉害，也该在正义之镜面前无所遁形。
