2021年6月,《联邦网络安全法2021》被正式实施。根据该立法,如果有媒体平台或网站传播负面欺凌内容,如若不能在24小时内对其进行删除,可能面临高达111,000.00澳币(个人)或者555,000.00澳币(公司)的罚金。

该立法案赋予澳洲网络安全委员会行调查与保护成人和儿童网民的行政权,帮其免受网络虐待。
根据该法第6至9条,如果在(i) 社交媒体;或(ii) 电子服务;或(iii) 指定的互联网服务上提供了欺凌性材料,该法律会对受害人提供相应的保护。判定其是否为欺凌行为是通过假设一个普通的理性人会得出以下结论:(i) 该材料可能是为了产生威胁、恐吓、骚扰或羞辱的效果,或者如果该材料流露出令人憎恶的暴力行为。
除了现有的刑事法律体系保护以外,该立法也对遭受发布私密图像和材料的受害者们提供保护。
此外,根据第221条,向澳洲网络安全委员会投诉和/或提供的材料和证据的行为在大多数情况下会受到民事责任的普遍豁免保护,从而鼓励积极调查和起诉那些普遍存在的网络虐待行为。
如果你是网络虐待的受害者,请与我们联系,探讨你的法律选择。
