What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 230(1) punishes, with three to five years' imprisonment, a person who, without prior judicial order and for their own benefit or a third party's, intercepts, listens to, diverts, records, or observes, in any form, a computer datum at its origin, destination, or inside a computer system, or a signal or data transmission, with the aim of obtaining registered or available information.
Reading a public, unauthenticated page does not fit a plain reading of an offence built around a judicial-order requirement and an interception of a transmission.
