Huge fine and one year in prison for stealing spouse's mobile phone
"Married people have to think twice if they want to peek at their spouses' mobile phones," Saudi Information Ministry said in an English statement. Because it could result in a fine of 500000 Riyals and a year's imprisonment. '
Saudi Arabia's anti cybercrime law, which came into force last week, is part of a new ban on peeking at mobile phones. The new rules aim to 'safeguard personal and social morality, as well as privacy,' the Ministry said.
According to the report, the new rule comes with the steady growth of Internet crimes, such as extortion, corruption and defamation.
