應管理與經濟學院的邀請，香港浸會大學的Christy M. K. Cheung教授于2023年4月27日上午10點在線上做了題為《Understanding the Current State of Knowledge andFuture Directions of Doxing Research: A SocialCognitive Theory Perspective》的學術報告。報告會由厲洋軍老師主持，學院眾多師生參加了本次報告會。
報告開始，Christy教授指出目前的互聯網和社交媒體充斥著網絡暴力和網絡騷擾的行為，這些行為對人們的身體和精神健康都會產生不良影響，甚至會導致自殺。同時，這些行為也會對人們如何使用社交平臺產生影響。人肉搜索(Doxing)作為網絡暴力的一種特殊形式，指的是第三方故意在公共平臺公開個人信息以達到侮辱、威脅和懲罰的目的。施暴者通過人肉搜索公開了受害者的個人信息且這些信息還會被用來進行后續的騷擾和攻擊。
為了減少這種行為的產生，一些地方政府制定了反對人肉搜索的法律法規。然而，社交平臺在遵守相關法規的同時也可能對群眾的言論自由產生影響。現有大部分研究主要從法律角度進行研究，關注的主要是外部環境是如何影響人肉搜索行為，缺少從個體、行為以及社交平臺的角度對人肉搜索行為進行研究。因此，Christy提出未來的研究應該重點關注人們是如何通過社交平臺來參與或應對人肉搜索行為，以此來幫助社交平臺更好的在法規和言論自由間找到平衡。此外，Christy以2019年香港反修例事件中的人肉搜索行為作為案例進行了進一步的探究，通過對相關的社交媒體數據以及對香港警察的訪談數據進行分析，揭示了社會運動背景下施暴者進行人肉搜索的動機和方式，以及人肉搜索對受害者的影響。研究結果表明，盡管施暴者是以尋求社會公平的名義開展人肉搜索行為，但這種行為本身卻延續了不公平性。最后，由于人肉搜索的不良影響以及相關研究的匱乏，未來的研究可以更多地關注受害者的應對機制以及平臺和法律法規該如何控制人肉搜索行為。
報告結束后，與會師生與Christy教授展開了積極的討論，受到了很多啟發。報告反響熱烈，得到了師生們的一致好評。
