Abstract: Abstract The ever-evolving landscape of e-commerce has ushered in a paradigm shift, redefining business operations and consumer interactions. Amidst this transformation, the concept of network-neutral help behavior has emerged as a pivotal and contentious element, sparking global debates among legal scholars, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. Rooted in historical criminal law systems and resonating in innovative economies, network-neutral help behavior blurs the line between facilitation and active participation in cybercrimes. This paper delves into the multifaceted realm of network-neutral help behavior within the context of e-commerce transactions, with a specific focus on its implications in the era of Beyond-5G networks. By employing typological thinking and the Theory of Legal Interest Measurement, the study proposes a balanced approach to criminal responsibility, taking into account qualitative and quantitative changes in harm caused by cybercrimes. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, legal experts, law enforcement agencies, and technology developers, illuminating the path towards a secure and innovation-driven digital ecosystem.
