Whatsapp is private

[Dolores]

Just so you know: Any private form of communication cannot be made public. A flurry over a private internet exchange involving prominent psychologist Ana Simó and her colleagues has caused several lawyers to look into the Whatsapp issue.

According to the Dominican Constitution, privacy is a right, and without the consent of the parties involved, any private conversation, may not be made public. Nowadays private conversations include Whatsapp, Tweeter and other electronic media.

The penalties, under Article 377 of the Penal Code can be up to a year in prison and fines of up to RD$50,000. Such violations of privacy are considered to be attempted violations of the right to privacy under Article 44 of the Constitution.

Does that mean the consent of both parties is required to online post, for example, a WhatsApp conversation? Can anyone clarify this for me. I am easily confused. Seems violating this law is a very frequent event.

Many years ago Robert told me he could not see PM messages between two members. That's the extent of my knowledge.

No one can see them except the participants.

... didn't Robert once (or more) admit to being able to sign on as another member?
This was when a member was having a problem and Robert I believe stated that he had no problem signed on as that person.

As such he would theoretically be one of the participants?

Being the programmer of the system, there are special options.
