LRC Launch Public Paper On Law Reforms And The Internet
The Law Reform Commission (LRC) has launched a paper on how the law should be adapted to deal with online privacy and the issue of cyberbullying.
The LRC said that while the internet has brought many benefits, it has also produced "more sinister side-effects" and that laws have not kept pace with new challenges presented by the web.
The commission is seeking views on the paper, which asks a number of questions such as should the offence of harassment be amended to include a specific reference to to cyber-harassment.
The paper can be read in full on the Law Reform Commission's website.
The consultation period will run until January.
