Different Mps have the minister of Security and Justice to questions about the fact that some internet users are on social media pretend to be someone else. The PVV wants that this criminal is being addressed.
Reason for the Questions is a broadcast of De wereld Draait door, in which a lawyer worry about a fake Twitter account. Several Mps want to know whether there are enough possibilities to such fake Twitter accounts, writes Computerworld.
D66 wonders whether criminal prosecution should be possible, and also SP Member of parliament Nine Kooiman has Questions in parliament to the same effect submitted.
The PVV goes further and wants the same for social media users to feel like someone else for to do. Or an exception should be created for parodies, is unclear. The SP wants to know if social media can be forced to work ‘on the reveal of the identity’.
According to advocate Anke Verhoeven of Solv, such legislation is unnecessary, because there already is to act. Opening a fake Twitter account, a tort, or a wrongful processing of personal data. In addition, in some cases it is possible to view the details of a fraudster on a social network, she writes.
Incidentally, offer social media usually all the ability to give that someone themselves if someone else occurs. In California, where many internet companies are based, is ‘e-impersonatie’ since last year’s criminal: who himself, if someone else occurs and damage is caused, a fine or even imprisonment.
