Procedural and Substantive Challenges of Offenses Against Chastity in Emerging Domains
Keywords:
Challenges, Procedural and Substantive, Offenses Against Chastity, Emerging DomainsAbstract
Undeniably, these laws primarily address acts against chastity within the physical realm; however, the perpetration of such offenses has transcended the boundaries of the real world, extending into cyberspace and its emerging domains. Consequently, this necessitates a specific approach to legislation and the determination of corresponding penalties. Nevertheless, the initial response of the Iranian legislature to information technology crimes was the Amendment to the Press Law, enacted on April 18, 2000. Furthermore, in 2001, the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution adopted the “Regulations and Criteria for Computerized Information Networks.” Pursuant to Article 7 of this bylaw, information and internet service providers, as well as public internet access centers (cybercafes), are prohibited from producing and disseminating offenses against chastity and public morals by service providers and users.
