With the development and popularization of Internet technology, the network has opened up new avenues for citizens to realize the freedom of expression. This paper explores the basic theory of network expression freedom from a constitutional perspective, focuses on the reasonable boundaries of network expression freedom, and emphasizes the necessity of constitutional protection for network expression rights. By analyzing the legislative status quo of network expression rights protection in China, this paper identifies the existing shortcomings in the current protection of network expression rights in China and explores how to establish and improve the legal protection system for citizens' network expression rights within the framework of the Constitution to maintain and promote the exercise and realization of citizens' network expression freedom.
