Due to the alarming increase in news about child stalkers that use the social networks to commit abuses, he Congress of Deputies has agreed a text in order to strengthen data protection and security personnel of minors in front of these criminals who use these means to contact and blackmail young people.
The initiative promoted by the PP Y approved for the same party and for the PSOE, CiU, UPyD, PNV, the group of the Plural Left formed by IU, ICV and CHA, Asturias Forum, Canary-New Canary Coalition and UPN, asks the Executive to guarantee the Personal data protection and the technical, operational and legal possibilities are reviewed, in order to improve the safety of photographs published on the Internet, both by the State Security Forces and Bodies as well as social networks and computer service providers.
The text also claims strengthen the competent police and child protection units, with the purpose of intensifying the investigation of crimes related to the use of the Network. cyberbullying That is nothing other than the use of electronic information and media such as email, social networks, blogs, instant messaging, text messages, mobile phones, and defamatory websites. And so being able to harass an individual or group, through personal attacks or other means that may also include threats, sexual connotations and pejorative labels that threatens their frequency and repetition against the dignity or psychic or physical integrity of a person.
Conrado Escobar, spokesman in Congress at the PP Interior Commission It has been who has defended this initiative by arguing that, according to studies, almost a 15% of Internet users, between 10 and 17, receive a sexual proposal and that 34% of them encounter sexual material that they have not sought.
In this regard, the spokesperson has indicated that the European Comission in 2009 it reached an agreement, with the main companies and social networks such as Myspace or Facebook, to establish protection mechanisms and guarantee the privacy of children's profiles on the Web and protect them from cyberbullying and intrusions that may attack their security.
It seems to me that the initiative can be good, although as we mentioned when we talked about the blow to pornography, it seems that while the subjects previously arrested in operations related to the distribution and possession of child pornography enter through one door and exit through another we have a serious problem . And it seems to me that the work of education and training for parents and children is more important than the creation of bureaucratic processes, by many political parties that participate and agree, that run the risk of being inefficient and not very agile.
