Parliament this Friday passed a PS law to strengthen the protection of victims of unauthorized sharing of intimate and sexual content, with the diploma lowering the commission for work in the specialty.
The bill will go to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Rights, Freedoms and Guarantees, after registration of the favorable votes of the socialists, as well as the PSD, Liberal Initiative (IL), PCP, Bloco de Esquerda (BE) and Livre. With no votes against, there were only abstentions from PAN and Chega, who also have diplomas in this field.
The General Assembly of the Republic jointly and unanimously approved the requirements for the reduction of Chega, PAN and BE bills without voting for the specialty for a period of 60 days.
The Chega bill aims to strengthen the protection of victims of privacy violations by sharing sexual content without mutual consent; the PAN diploma provides for the crime of non-consensual disclosure of content of an intimate or sexual nature, and the blockers’ proposal advocates the creation of the crime of non-consensual pornography.
The topic of sharing intimate and sexual content without consent was the subject of debate in Wednesday’s plenary, where delegates expressed support for increasing the penalties for those who share this content without consent, but differed on the need to make the crime autonomous and to attribute it to the nature of a public crime.
In that plenary session of the Assembly of the Republic, the deputies also debated a petition requesting a change in the law to make sharing sexual content a public crime, as well as the four bills proposed by Chega, PAN, Bloco de Esquerda ( BE) and the PS, who agree on the need to increase penalties for those who practice this crime, but not on other changes.
