Do You Like "Spilling Tea" on Social Media? Here's What You Can Spill, Legally!

The ITE Law's Article 27 Paragraph 3 defines the criminal offense as an absolute complaint offense, which means that unless the victim is still a minor or under guardianship, they must personally report the incident to the police.

 

Additionally, the victim must be a real person with a distinct identity rather than an organization, or business.

 

It Has to be Publicly Known 

The focus of the punishment under Article 27 paragraph (3) of the ITE Law is on the behavior of the perpetrators who knowingly distribute, transmit, or make accessible information charged with attacking someone's honor by alleging something to be known to the public, which can take the form of uploads to social media accounts with public access settings.
