This paper examines the formation of law-related rumors in the age of smart media caused by the rapid dissemination mechanism of social media, the confusion of public and private discourse space, and rumor-making by artificial intelligence, and analyzes in depth their harm to the security of public opinion, including social division triggered by cyber-violence, privacy leakage threatening the trust of the society, and information manipulation leading to gender antagonism. Through case studies, the negative impacts of these problems on society and individuals are revealed, and it is emphasized that effective measures should be taken to maintain public opinion security and ensure social stability in the age of smart media.
