Following the meeting, Akel MP Giorgos Koukoumas said that the article-by-article debate on his party\u2019s bill proposal to establish separate and stricter legislation on revenge porn has just started and will continue over the next committee meetings.The Akel MP underlined that revenge porn \u201cconstitutes a crime with devastating ethical, personal, professional, and psychological consequences for the victim\u201d.\u201cIt is not unjustly referred to as \u2018cyber rape,\u2019\u201d he said.He also expressed satisfaction as, according to him, \u201cthere is agreement on the bill\u2019s philosophy and orientation from the justice ministry, the Bar Association, as well as other stakeholders involved in previous discussions\u201d.\u201cThe bill proposal we are submitting significantly strengthens the current framework so that the legal obligation of internet service providers to promptly remove such material from their websites is reinforced,\u201d Koukoumas said.He explained that another differentiation is made so that the proof of intention to humiliate the victim by the perpetrator is not required.\u201cThis is very significant because in most cases the perpetrators claim their actions are the result of jokes,\u201d he explained.Finally, he noted that the bill proposal provides protection for all victims, regardless of gender, adding that in cases where the material is not real, but has been digitally manipulated in such a way as to realistically depict a person participating in sexual acts, should also be covered.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He highlighted the severe consequences of revenge porn and stated that the proposed bill aims to strengthen the legal obligations of internet service providers to remove such content promptly. The bill also removes the need to prove the perpetrator’s intention to humiliate the victim and provides protection for all victims, including those depicted in digitally manipulated
