A growing number of reports on violations of rules concerning the privacy of the citizen is collected each week by the media. A woman will be tried for publishing a nude photograph of a friend in the profile of your Messenger account, facing a possible prison sentence. A father is convicted as tort of guilt in watching, to pay the damages or injury caused by his son to publish and promote the network taunts Tuenti on the picture of a stranger, also lower. Such cases it is logical to ask whether, to avoid such disasters, people are in the hands of will or negligence of the offender, or if applicable law is inadequate, inefficient, inaccurate. Certainly not, depending on the case for a greater or lesser extent, the victim may not have diligently managed care or personal data, privacy and privacy. By Internet
produce much of these offenses, a row of huge daily use of chats, social networking and other means of expression , so desirable in themselves to the development and growth of the Information Society, and society itself, as potentially harmful if they are used incorrectly. One area in which the inappropriate use of these means reveals more damaging is undoubtedly that of the individual's privacy. Spain has a comprehensive and rigorous regulations regarding data protection and protection of the right to honor, personal privacy and self-image, a sufficiently strong policy to deal effectively possible attacks on citizen's privacy. This regulation and the work doctrinal and jurisprudential studies and applies the remedy contemplated and the dangers that threaten the user from the moment you access to a chat or a forum of opinion, published his personal information or opinions in a blog , or transfer your data to a network operator. Are frequent cases of non-consensual transfers of data, identity theft, harassment or cyberbullying, grooming to minors via the Internet, and proliferate on the Web publications tricks or backdoors to get to see data from other social networking sites without his consent ... The current legislation is set to give correct response to these cases and effective protection of the personal sphere of the individual.
Why, then, these cases continue to occur? First of all, each user is responsible for their actions both on the communications of its data or information, such as the respect of another's privacy, and this is true for every sphere of external action of the individual, either through Internet or any other medium. Only the individual knows exactly what, as he himself determines the limits of their private sphere, and in his hands is so close the last door to outside attacks that privacy. Therefore, no regulations, existing or future, may ensure the protection of privacy of individuals, and are in vain security measures implemented in networks and platforms, if no user created a firm and constant determination: to respect the privacy of others, remain alert to possible interference with own private sphere, to control each communication of your information and personal data and ensure that these are produced by means consistent with optimal protection of your own privacy.
