In this work devoted to "Privacy put to the test of digital technology. The risks of the dissemination of intimate images in Congolese and French comparative law", the author analyzes, through direct observation, the phenomenon which is currently breaking records consisting of the publication of images of an intimate nature on certain websites or in social networks. There is evidence that when interacting with technology, people behave differently than when they encounter the "real" world. These images are first obtained by the consent of the victim, especially in the context of a romantic relationship, and, when the relationship turns sour, the images are released for revenge.The work lists, with a jurisprudential and doctrinal basis, the provisions in Congolese and French criminal law which punish such acts. It is an essential tool for the benefit not only of lawyers, but also of all digital users. Because legislation is decisive for preventing and combating cybercrime, whether perpetrator or victim of cybernetic missteps, everyone benefits.
