Abstract

This research aimed to examine individual violations of computer-related laws, analyze the legal principles concerning public order and good morals, and systematically organize knowledge relating to public order and good morals under computer-related laws. This study employed a qualitative research methodology involving interviews with key informants, together with content analysis, thematic categorization, and the interpretation of legal documents.

The Result

1. Violations of computer-related laws primarily arise from users’ belief that they have the right and freedom to act as they wish. They generally perceive the use of social media as an exercise of legally protected rights and freedoms and regard social media platforms as private spaces in which they may freely engage in any activity. However, such perceptions are not entirely accurate.
2. Computer-related laws serve as legal mechanisms for maintaining social order in an era in which social media is widely and extensively used. Allowing individuals to use computers or the Internet with absolute and unrestricted freedom may lead to infringements upon the rights of others. The exercise of such freedom may also violate social rules and standards that the law seeks to protect in order to maintain public order throughout the country. Without appropriate legal control and regulatory oversight, the unrestricted use of computers and the Internet may cause widespread disruption and social disorder.
3. Knowledge concerning computer-related laws remains fragmented and dispersed. Information regarding offenses under these laws is commonly presented separately and incompletely rather than being comprehensively and systematically compiled for academic study, research, and public dissemination. Consequently, members of the public may misunderstand which actions constitute legal offenses and which actions are legally permissible.
