人们已经习惯了明星的隐私曝光，可这回《壹本便利》“搞大了”。8月22日，香港女艺人阿娇（钟欣桐）更衣照被《壹本便利》杂志刊登后，该杂志可谓四面楚歌，引发各方讨伐。民建联近日以电话和街头访问的方式，对667名市民进行了问卷调查，有九成受访者认为，如此垃圾照片不利于青少年的身心发育。公众普遍反映，日前充斥市面的杂志都有类似“露点”问题，并希望政府及立法会议员尽快商讨立法遏止。
Mrs of Hong Kong singing group, Gillian Chung (L) andCharleneChoi hold a banner which reads Dignity during a newsconferenceentitled Privacy and dignity: Hong Kong peoplesbusiness in HongKong August 28, 2006. Semi-nude photos of Chungtaken with a hiddencamera have sparked an uproar among fans andwomens center groups.(Reuters)The public outcry against EasyFinder for publishingindecent photographs of Twins singer GillianChung has beengaining momentum, with an increasing number of peoplevowing toboycott the magazine and demanding strict action againstit.
A telephone and face-to face survey conducted by theDemocraticAlliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB)from August25 to 27 shows 80 per cent of the people will boycottthe magazinein response to the calls by various organizations.
An overwhelming majority (90 per cent) of the 667 respondentssaidthe sleazy photographs would have a negative impact onyoungsters,while 88 per cent considered it an insult to women.That existingregulations dont have enough control overpublications carryingobscene materials was felt by more than 81per cent.
Since there are no laws at present to punish privacyviolation,for example, by using spy cameras , offenders should getthemaximum penalty under the Control of Obscene and IndecentArticlesOrdinance , Young DAB Chairman Horace Cheung saidyesterday.
Laws punishing such offences are not only urgent, but alsotheonly long-term solution. The government should promote thePersonalData (Privacy) Ordinance to strengthen public awareness ofprivacyissues, he said.
The DAB Women Affairs Committee Chairperson urged the localmediato exercise self-discipline, and asked residents to stand upfordecency.
The Hong Kong Press Council has received a few dozencomplaintsagainst Easy Finder that include those from Chungsagent. PressCouncil Chairman Edward Chen said they expected themagazine torespond to their lawyers letter in the next fewdays.
The council will examine the issue and make a decision thisweek.Our actions are not legally binding, though, and the mostdrasticone will be public condemnation, Chen said.
Public uproar has continued to rise, with the Television&Entertainment Licensing Authority getting close to 2,500complaintsagainst Easy Finder till yesterday. A womens centerscoalition willobserve a protest today, demanding that thegovernment tackle thelegal loopholes in existing regulations.
