Austrian Criminal Code (StGB)
Section § 107c of the Austrian Criminal Code (Federal Law of 23 January 1974 on acts punishable by law, Criminal Code - StGB) addresses cyberbullying and continuous harassment by telecommunication or computer devices. It includes harmful content related to damages to a person’s honour and facts and images shared without consent. The provision was included in the StGB in 2015 and was amended in 2021 by the Hate on the Net Combating Act (HiNBG). In addition, Section 207a addresses CSAM and sexual depiction of minors (Source: Strafgesetzbuch, BIK Policy Monitor 2024).
Hate on the Net Combating Act (HiNBG)
The Hate on the Net Combating Act (HiNBG) amends the Criminal Code (1974), modifying section § 107c. The new provision considers harassment by telecommunication or computer devices even in a single occurrence (a single non-consensual upload of images). In addition, descriptions of offences are also modified. The HiNBG has been in force since 2021. (Source: HiNBG)
