It is illegal to insult and slander others with WeChat. Insults on the internet are as liable as in reality. That is, if the insult is minor, the victim can ask him to stop the infringement, restore his reputation and compensate for the losses. If the circumstances of the insult are serious and it is suspected to constitute an insult, you may apply for investigating the criminal responsibility of the infringer.

First, the criteria for judging the illegality of swearing are as follows:

1, suspected of publicly insulting others by violence or other means, and if the circumstances are serious, a case should be filed;

2. The perpetrator's behavior of publicly insulting others must reach a serious level to constitute a crime and be investigated.

Second, the punishment measures for swearing are as follows:

1, swearing is not an insult in the general sense, but it may trigger a legal review of insults when it causes more serious consequences;

2. If swearing leads to the death of the other party, it will be changed from a civil dispute to a criminal case, and the swearing person will be subject to criminal punishment.

To sum up, swearing is not an insult in the general sense, but it may lead to legal review of insults when it causes more serious consequences. For example, if swearing leads to the death of the other party, it will be changed from a civil dispute to a criminal case, and the swearing person will be subject to criminal punishment.
