How to sue others for malicious abuse on the Internet?

The way to prosecute and defend others' malicious abuse needs to be determined according to the severity of the incident. If it is just general abuse, it does not reach a particularly serious level, which belongs to the category of civil disputes. The victim has the right to bring a lawsuit to the people's court on the grounds of infringement of the right of reputation, and demand the actor to stop the infringement, eliminate the influence, restore the reputation, apologize and compensate for the losses; If the degree of abuse is very serious, such as long-term abuse, fabricated facts abuse or violent abuse, you can file a criminal complaint with the public security organ, asking the public security organ to file an investigation, investigate the criminal responsibility of the perpetrator for the crime of insult and slander, and ask the perpetrator to compensate for the losses. This situation belongs to a criminal case, so it cannot be directly prosecuted in court, and it needs to be prosecuted in public security organs.
