Proposition de loi ouvrant la voie civile aux victimes d'activités supposées illicites exercées de manière anonyme sur Internet et modifiant l'article XII.20 du Code de droit économique.

This Belgian bill would allow people harmed by allegedly illegal activities carried out anonymously online to pursue civil claims. It also amends Article XII.20 of the Code of Economic Law, which concerns obligations relating to online information society services. The bill is a proposal from members of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, and its aim, based on its title, is to make it easier for victims to seek redress when the person responsible is hidden behind anonymity. The bill would mainly affect victims of alleged online harms who want to take civil action, and people who publish or operate anonymously online. Online service providers that hold identifying information could also be affected by the amended Article XII.20. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
