Is it illegal to take a screenshot and record his message without others' consent?

Chat record is a kind of privacy, based on mutual trust. If you want to forward screenshots, you must get the consent of the other party, otherwise it may be illegal. Once the other party doesn't agree, you can't disclose the information to a third party without authorization.

Revealing other people's secrets privately can be classified as invasion of privacy. The content of the released screenshots involves personal privacy, and the other party has the right to pursue legal responsibility. For content involving personal or other people's privacy, we should seriously consider the risk of leakage and leakage. If privacy is infringed, the injured party may request the infringer to withdraw and eliminate the influence; If the circumstances are serious or the other party refuses to withdraw or eliminate the influence, it may complain to the public security organ.
