Responsibility of systems and platforms is absolutely not zero / do not prevent competition – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr News Agency, quoting the program’s public relations, Amir Khorakian, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Deputy of the National Cyberspace Center, in the program “At the End of Alvand”, which was broadcast on Sunday morning, December 5, on the second channel of Sima, about services based on “Web 1” “As long as these services are distributed, the responsibility for the content lies with those in charge of those systems,” he said. Or it was a platform, but with the advent of Web 2, it became controversial how much the systems were about Content responsibility And how responsible the users are as those who play the role of loading the content.
He added: We have a category that Based on It is the role of the platform in content production that determines the degree of responsibility. That is, no matter how much the owner of the production platform has, he is responsible for the content. but if user The more content you can publish on the platform, the less responsibility the platform owner has and the responsibility rests with the publisher.
The Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Deputy of the National Cyberspace Center continued: This issue was emphasized and specified for the first time in the 36th to 40th session of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace under the comprehensive document on organizing social media. The judiciary was tasked Based on This Content Prepare regulations.
Khorakian explained about this regulation: it states that in systems where users publish content themselves, the responsibility is directly with the content publisher. Of course, there are two to three conditions that the owner of the platform must comply with, for example, to maintain user information that can be verified or, if necessary, to cooperate with judicial authorities that if Content It was inappropriate, traceable, and necessary to prevent the publication of such content. In special cases, we referred to the decision of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace and the regulations of the judiciary. Some also publish content from elsewhere, which is relatively responsible, and the main criterion is the role in the production and distribution of content.
He added: “The responsibility of systems and platforms is never absolutely zero because the criminal content is clear, but it is possible to follow up on the content that does not look criminal but the right has been lost in this way.” So before the arrival of the judiciary, the systems and some executive organs of the country, specifically like the Ministry of Guidance and Broadcasting, have responsibilities in the field of audio and video.
“When a crime is committed, the issue is in the hands of the judiciary,” said the deputy director of legal and parliamentary affairs at the National Cyberspace Center. Criminal content is not available to the platform to say any Platform Whether or not to criminalize content at will. This content is identified by the Judiciary Working Group on Criminal Cases, of which the relevant officials and ministers are members. In law, some Items It has been approved and some cases will follow, which will be specified by the working group and will be communicated to everyone.
He added: “In the field of specific criminal cases, we have no problem and most of the problem is about the content that does not look criminal.” For example, about the recent incident, the ad did not look criminal, but the law enforcement official may have checked and seen that a crime was taking place under this normal ad. Most of our problem is in this area, otherwise all the clear criminal cases will be carefully considered and justified by the platforms. in the years Lately Technical facilities were used and it is very rare for such a thing to happen.
Khorakian said about the document on organizing social media: “In recent years, we have no problem with the document on organizing social media, the document on fake news that was approved by the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, and the regulations approved by the judiciary.”
He continued: With respect to all judges, the knowledge of some Judges Is an issue. There are many developments in cyberspace and a platform that produces and distributes content itself or a platform on which the user Content It publishes, it is not taken into consideration. The request has been made for a specialized institution to investigate the crimes of this section, but in the judiciary in this About There are legal barriers. The judiciary is trying to resolve this issue and everyone relies on the existence of a specialized institution in this About Emphasize.
In the end, Khorakian said: “The argument is that one of the commissions of the Cyberspace Center should explain these regulations, have a legal guarantee through the parliament, and we should be able to have the necessary regulations in this area.” These rules can be invoked by a judge. We monitor the content at the same time Should not Take the power of competition from domestic services against foreign services.
