What is the law against SMS harassment?

First, how to judge sexual harassment by SMS?

Harassing others with short messages violates the provisions of Article 42 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment and is an illegal act. Public security administrative responsibility can be investigated according to law, but it does not constitute a crime.

According to the law: Article 42 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment commits one of the following acts, and shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and may be fined up to five hundred 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, falsely accusing and framing others, and attempting 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, intimidating or other information for many times to interfere with the normal life of others;

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

Second, the countermeasures of SMS harassment

First of all, we should strengthen the cultivation of citizens' moral quality. Guide citizens to consciously learn information security knowledge, cultivate citizens' ability to distinguish bad short messages, and don't be confused by the illusion of spam messages. At the same time, we should also have the courage to fight against it. Not only do you not produce or disseminate spam, but you can intercept or report it through relevant mobile phone housekeeper software after discovery, and you must dare to report it to the public security organs in time to effectively curb its spread.

Second, strengthen supervision. The relevant state departments should strengthen supervision and strictly demand telecom and network companies. Internet companies should be responsible for public and social stability, define their responsibilities, formulate measures, coordinate and supervise each other, and do not produce or send spam. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the ideological and technical training for employees, enhance their ability to resist spam, and constantly purify the good communication content.

Third, strengthen legislation. Legislation is the key to control spam. At present, there is still a lack of legal provisions to control spam. On the one hand, the legislature should draft relevant laws as soon as possible, on the other hand, it should further revise the lagging relevant laws and regulations to meet the needs of the rapidly developing network business. Before the promulgation of new laws and regulations, the public security and judicial organs should impose sanctions on the relevant actors in accordance with the Law on Public Security Punishment and other relevant provisions, and resolutely investigate the legal responsibilities of the parties in bad circumstances.

Third, how to prevent personal information from being leaked?

(1) Watch out for phishing websites when shopping online. When buying goods through the internet, you should carefully check the login website, do not easily receive and install unknown software, carefully fill in the bank account number and password, and beware of phishing websites to prevent personal information from leaking and causing economic losses.

Reminder: When logging into a shopping website, you should verify whether the domain name of the website is correct, and carefully click on the payment link sent by the merchant from the instant messaging tool to prevent it from being a phishing website.

(2) Properly handle documents containing personal information, such as express orders, tickets and shopping receipts. The courier has the name, phone number and address of the online shopper, and the name and ID number of the purchaser are printed on the air ticket and air ticket. The shopping receipt also has some information such as name, bank card number and consumption record. Inadvertently throwing it away may fall into the hands of criminals, leading to the disclosure of personal information.

Reminder: Waste materials containing personal information must be properly disposed of.

(three) a copy of the ID card should indicate the purpose. Banks, mobile or Unicom business halls, various exam registrations, online school classes and many other places need to keep a copy of your ID card, and even some typing shops and copy shops will use it to archive customer information temporarily stored in the copier hardware.

Reminder: When providing a copy of my ID card, please indicate "This copy is for my use only".

(4) Resume only provides necessary information. Nowadays, more and more people are submitting resumes online to find jobs, and the personal information in resumes is complete. Some companies will ask you to fill in a so-called "personal information form" during the interview, asking you to fill in your family relationship description, parents' names, personal telephone address, graduation school (detailed to primary school), recommendation letter (even school recommendation letter) and even ID number.

Reminder: Under normal circumstances, don't fill in my specific information in detail, especially my home address and ID number.

(5) Don't disclose personal information in Weibo or group chat. When interacting with acquaintances through Weibo, QQ space, post bars and forums, people sometimes unconsciously tell or mark the real information such as their names, positions and work units. This information may be used by criminals, and many online scams posing as identities use the information leaked from these places.

Reminder: In Weibo, QQ space, post bars, forums and other social networks, avoid exposing or labeling real identity information as much as possible.

(6) Be careful when taking photos on WeChat. Some parents take photos of their children in the circle of friends, including their names, schools and residential areas. Some people like to take train tickets and boarding passes, but forget to blur their names, ID numbers and QR codes. These are common personal information disclosure behaviors. In addition, the setting of "people nearby" in WeChat is often used to look at other people's photos.

Reminder: When taking photos, you must be careful not to take photos containing personal information. You should share photos by creating groups.

(7) Seriously participate in online survey activities. When surfing the Internet, you will often encounter various online "questionnaires", shopping sweepstakes or applications for free mailing materials, membership cards and other activities. Generally, you need to fill in personal information such as detailed contact information and home address.

Reminder: Before participating in such activities, you should choose a website with reliable reputation to carefully check the real situation of the other party. Don't fill in it rashly, which will lead to the disclosure of personal information.

(8) Use free WiFi with caution in public places. When you select the WiFi (wireless network) automatic connection function in the network settings of your smartphone, you will automatically connect to WiFi in public places. The security function of WiFi is weak, and hackers can steal any user name and password on WiFi through some simple devices.

Reminder: When using wireless WiFi to log in to online banking or Alipay, you can access it through a special APP client. In order to protect your personal information, it is best to set the WiFi connection to manual.

In any case, we should use legal weapons to protect ourselves when we are violated in our lives. Of course, we should also pay attention to protecting our privacy on weekdays, and don't give those people the opportunity to sexually harass by texting. The above is my answer to punishing sexual harassment by SMS. If you don't know anything, you can seek legal advice.
