“Dear judge, fellow jurors.” My voice was soft but firm, “I am standing here today, not just for myself.”
“In this digital age, our portrait rights and privacy rights are being violated every day. Some people secretly take our photos and post them online to comment on us, some people steal our identities to commit fraud and some people use online violence to harm innocent people.”
“Today it’s me, tomorrow it could be any ordinary and innocent person. If we don’t stand up and resist, this violation will only become more and more rampant.“>
The court was silent and everyone listened attentively.
“I demand severe punishment for the criminals, not for revenge, but to tell everyone that the Internet is not a lawless place and infringing on the rights of others will pay a price.”
“At the same time, I also hope that the three roommates can truly repent. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. I hope you can remember this lesson and start a new life.”
After I finished speaking, warm applause rang out in the court. Even the judge nodded slightly.
The final verdict was made. Linda, Winnie and Kelly were convicted of fraud and sentenced to three years in prison and four years of probation. Ordered to return all illegal gains and apologize publicly in national media.}
After the trial, Mike caught up with me, “Sarah, I… can I treat you to a meal?”
Ushook my head, “No need.“}
“I really want to apologize…”
“I don’t accept your apology.” I smiled, “Some injuries can’t be made up for by a meal.”
In the last life, they directly hired someone to beat me to death.
He was stunned, then nodded in understanding, “I understand. If you need any help in the future…”
“Thank you, but I think I can take care of myself.“}
Walking out of the court, the sun was shining.
The tragedy of the last life would not happen again and my new life had just begun.
Three months later, I stood on the podium of the university auditorium, facing thousands of students, sharing my story.

“When our rights are violated, silence is not gold, but connivance of crime. We must stand up bravely and protect ourselves with legal weapons.”
Thunderous applause rang out from the audience Voice.
“Today, I am very happy to tell you that under my promotion, the school will open a public course on rights protection in the digital age to help everyone better protect their portrait rights and privacy rights.”

After the speech, a timid girl came to me, “Miss… I encountered a similar situation as you… Someone secretly took my photos and posted them on bad websites… What should I do?“}
I patted her shoulder, “Don’t be afraid, I will help you. First, we have to save the evidence,”
As the sun set, I walked out of the campus side by side with the girl.
My mobile phone screen saver is a sentence, [When darkness falls, you can choose to be a candle.]
And this is exactly what I am doing now.
(The End)
