Network identity management is not a "sense"

On December 28, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress reviewed and adopted the "Decision to Strengthen the Protection of Online Information." The "Decision" stipulates that no organization or individual may steal or otherwise obtain citizens' personal electronic information, and may not sell or illegally provide citizens with other people. Personal electronic information.

Some netizens probably had preconceived ideas and did not seriously understand the original meaning of this legislation. They interpreted it as a one-sided interpretation of the "real name system." Actually, after reading the full text of the "Decision," it should be noted that the law emphasizes the "network service provider." "The responsibility and obligation to protect the personal information of netizens is not what they are supposed to be. It is to bring a "curse" to themselves.

All along, "network society" is not completely virtual, but an extension of the real society. At present, the number of Internet users in China has reached 513 million. The Internet has penetrated into all aspects of social life. The author believes that among the more than 500 million Internet users, the vast majority should have done online shopping? Taobao, JD.com and Vanke Esport have doubled their performance, relying on the contribution of netizens, plus the Ministry of Railways’ online purchase of tickets, online check-in by airlines, and online payment of water, electricity and gas by major banks. The tentacles of the Internet have long extended to the lives of every one of us. Everyone has provided a lot of information without knowing it. As a Taobao diamond buyer, not to mention the author's ID number, bank account number, mobile phone number, such information, afraid that even the color of favorite clothes, love to read the type of books have left traces on the network. Not to mention that Kaixin.com, Renren.com, and even Lily.com and Century.com.cn have all been social dating websites. It can be said that many netizens are worried about the so-called state-mandated "real names." Did not realize that perhaps he had already "real name".

Just like this, we must pass legislation to strengthen the protection of Internet users' personal information. In terms of the network's current social role in China, this legislation clearly defines the main body of responsibility for the protection of Internet users' personal information, and it is necessary. We all know that in 2011, South Korea’s social networking site “Sai I” was hacked, resulting in more than 30 million user information leaks. Many people took the opportunity to blame South Korea's “real name system” but ignored it, precisely because South Korea ignored it. Internet users' personal information security protection.

The issuance of the "Decision" is precisely to urge the website to increase the legal cost of exposing netizens' information under the constraints of the law. This will undoubtedly urge the website to continuously invest capital and technology, and truly fulfill its obligation to protect netizens' personal information. From a long-term point of view, strengthening the protection of network information through legislation and implementing network identity management will be helpful for data theft, cyber hacking, malicious tracking, investigation, and punishment, and will help reduce the number of Internet users may suffer on the Internet. Infringement, protect the legitimate rights and interests of netizens.

Netizens are no exception. They misunderstood the original intentions of legislators, and they must also strengthen their awareness of self-protection.
