沙特出新规：偷窥配偶手机属刑事犯罪 或被判一年监禁

据外媒报道，沙特阿拉伯2日宣布，秘密监视配偶手机如今属刑事犯罪，可能面临巨额罚款和一年监禁。沙特信息部称，严惩用技术手段偷窥配偶手机，意在保护“个人、社会道德”和“隐私”。

 

Spying on your spouse's phone in Saudi Arabia now carries a hefty fine and up to a year in prison, under a new law that aims to "protect morals of individuals and society and protect privacy".
根据一项旨在“保护个人、社会道德及隐私”的新法律，在沙特阿拉伯偷窥配偶的手机现在将被处以巨额罚款，最高判刑一年。

"Married individuals planning to spy on their spouse in Saudi Arabia will need to think twice, because such an activity could potentially attract a fine of 500,000 riyals, along with a prison term for a year," a statement, released by the Saudi government on Monday, read.
该国政府2日发表声明称：“在沙特，已婚人士若要偷看配偶手机，恐怕得三思。因为此举可能招来50万里亚尔（约合人民币84万元）的罚金，以及一年的监禁。”

The punishment will apply to both men and women in the kingdom, according to the statement.
根据声明，这项处罚对沙特的男性和女性均适用。

Called the Anti-Cybercrime Law, the measure makes "spying on, interception or reception of data transmitted through an information network or a computer without legitimate authorization" a crime.
依据这则被称为《反网络犯罪法》的法律，“未经合法授权，监视、截取或接收在信息网络或电脑上传播的数据”属于犯罪行为。

"Social media has resulted in a steady increase in cybercrimes such as blackmail, embezzlement and defamation, not to mention hacking of accounts", the Gulf kingdom's information ministry said.
沙特信息部表示：“社交媒体导致勒索、挪用公款、诽谤以及入侵账户等网络犯罪持续增加。”

A similar law on the books in the neighboring United Arab Emirates also bars the practice, carrying a minimum three-month prison term and 3,000 dirham fine.
沙特的邻国阿联酋也明令禁止偷窥配偶手机的行为，对违反者处以最低三个月监禁以及3000迪拉姆（约合人民币5000元）罚款。

The oil-rich and tech-obsessed countries are among the most avid social media users in the world, but traditional values remain ascendant, even in courts.
沙特和阿联酋石油资源丰富且热衷科技产品，两国的社交媒体用户是世界上最活跃的，但即使在法庭之上，传统价值观仍占上风。
