Aspire Network Executive Director Kaajal Kumar says there is no particular definition in the Online Safety Bill regarding sharing and posting sexual images between young people.
This was highlighted by Kumar while making their submission on the bill to the Parliamentary Committee on Justice, Law and Human Rights.
Kumar says she is concerned how the bill will deal with minors that are involved.
She also says the Online Safety Bill should elaborate more on child pornography.
However, Kumar acknowledged the government for introducing the bill which is important for the young people in the country.
Meanwhile, the Online Safety Bill states that a person must not post or threaten to post an intimate visual recording of an individual. This does not apply if the individual, who is the subject of the electronic communication concerned, consents to the specific post of the intimate visual recording.
In this section in the Online Safety Bill, “consent” must be voluntary, expressed and informed, and does not include the consent of a child.
