Is it illegal to eavesdrop on other people's information privately?

In real life, everyone has their own privacy and doesn't want to be known by others, but some people deliberately eavesdrop on other people's secrets. According to Chinese law, it is illegal for a natural person to eavesdrop on other people's information privately. Let's see the corresponding answer I gave you.

1. Is it illegal to eavesdrop on other people's information privately?

It is not necessarily illegal to eavesdrop on other people's information privately, but it is illegal to eavesdrop with serious consequences.

Article 1032 of the Civil Code stipulates that natural persons have the right to privacy. No organization or individual may infringe upon the privacy rights of others by spying, harassing, revealing or making public.

Privacy is the private space, private activities and private information that natural people live peacefully and don't want to be known by others.

Article 284 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that anyone who illegally uses special equipment for eavesdropping or stealing photos, thus causing serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, criminal detention or public surveillance.

Second, how to punish eavesdropping on others' privacy

Eavesdropping on others' privacy is an invasion of privacy, which is illegal and can be punished for public security or bear civil liability according to law.

According to Article 42 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, anyone who commits one of the following acts shall be detained for less than 5 days or fined for less than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for more than 5 days 10 days, and may also be fined up to 500 yuan:

(1) writing threatening letters or threatening the personal safety of others by other means;

(2) publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to slander others;

(3) fabricating facts and falsely accusing others in an attempt to subject others to criminal investigation or public security administration punishment;

(4) Threatening, insulting, beating or retaliating against witnesses and their close relatives;

(5) sending obscene, insulting, threatening or other information for many times to interfere with the normal life of others;

(six) voyeurism, sneak shots, eavesdropping, spreading the privacy of others.

According to the law of our country, anyone who illegally uses special equipment for eavesdropping or stealing photos, thus causing serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, criminal detention or public surveillance. However, it is not necessarily illegal to eavesdrop on other people's information privately, but it is illegal to cause serious consequences. The specific provisions are as above.
