spooky_nine Bill seeks jail terms for downloading porn
us americans, we don't know how good we have it.
Manama: A Bahraini lawmaker is pushing for strict prison terms for people charged with downloading pornographic material off the internet, parliament sources told Gulf News yesterday.
The punishment is a part of a package of prison terms and fines suggested in a Bill presented by Council of Representatives member Abdullah Al Dossari.
"We have noted an alarming surge in cyber crimes resulting from impressive technological developments, but the perpetrators are not always punished. I am submitting this Bill to deter anyone who wants to steal money or disseminate destructive ideas or spread vice," Al Dossari said in the motion.
The MP suggested anyone who uses the internet to download, possess, host, publish or distribute pornographic material should be jailed for one year. In its drive to consolidate its status as the "telecommunications hub of the Gulf," the kingdom has made access to the internet easily available.
