社群發文開副本「爆料」要小心觸法!花蓮一名餐廳蕭姓負責人因不滿駐店表演人員私下中傷,竟把駐店人員在店外跟女客人擁吻畫面,搭配個人IG的生活照,用匿名方式貼上社群網站,指摘駐店「亂搞男女關係」、「劈腿」等語,不滿向檢警提告,花蓮地方法院認為,老闆為了報復而非法利用個人資料,已觸犯《個人資料保護法》,依法判處有期徒刑3月,緩刑2年。
檢警調查,36歲蕭姓餐廳負責人,不滿駐店表演人員私下在外說蕭男騷擾女生及酒駕,又常常打著餐廳的名義在外抬高自己身價,竟私自擷取店外監視器畫面駐店人員與女客擁吻的畫面,並把駐店的臉部照片及「劈腿」、「亂搞男女關係」、「把妹裝逼」及「吃軟飯」等文字,一併張貼在不特定多數人可觀覽的社群網站上,要網路公審企圖讓對方在花蓮被封殺。
法庭審理時,蕭姓老闆矢口否認有誹謗及違反個資法的犯行,辯稱駐店表演人員確實有這些行為,自己是出於善意提醒其他店家、澄清事實並維護公共利益,且資料來源是公開的,並未違法。
然而,花蓮地方法院法官認為,駐店表演人員非公眾人物,其男女關係與私人感情僅屬個人私生活領域,涉及私德而與公共利益完全無關。即使蕭男自稱所述屬實,但在法律上,不論如何都不容許以此侵害他人隱私。此外,蕭男在貼文中留言「誰敢請他,我就翻臉」、「今天我用你做過的行為對待你」,顯見其動機純粹是出於不理性的「報復」,而非單純自衛、自辯。
法官審酌,蕭男未能理性處理紛爭,率爾在網路非法利用他人個資、散布誹謗文字,考量其具備基本法律知識卻誤觸法網,惟犯後已與告訴人達成調解並當場賠償完畢,確有悔意。法院最終依想像競合犯規定,從一重依《個人資料保護法》之「非公務機關非法利用個人資料罪」,判處蕭男有期徒刑3月,得易科罰金,並宣告緩刑2年,以資懲儆。
