Editorial guard personal information was blackmail

According to media reports, there are consumers going to activate their card “Jingdong e card” net purchase, payment, Jingdong Mall asks her to the real-name authentication, and also to bind calls, provide your name, social security number and bank account number … … After several communications, Jingdong’s customer service staff is repeatedly stressed: the real-name authentication to protect the security of clients ‘ assets, not to give personal information, prepaid cards can not be used.

She was “information to blackmail”, but in today’s Internet age, this is not the case.

We use mobile phone applications, business cards, is a kind of contract with the business sector, and provide the necessary personal information within reasonable limits, this is normal. However, this “boundary” in getting back backwards, let our patience. Like the “Kyoto e card” events, Ministry of Commerce of the single-use commercial prepaid card management (trial) clearly stipulates 1000 Yuan the following single-purpose prepaid cards do not have real names, but the East is still not binding personal banking, information, you cannot use a prepaid card to coerce consumers to hand over personal information, is tantamount to extortion.

Personal information once and we were forced to bind, a variety of accurate “push” advertising bombardment starts: from SMS to email, telephone advertising pushed from the APP to annoy, even businesses large master user’s ID card, credit card and other information, itself formed a personal information security “Quake Lake”, in the event of leaks, the consequences are dire.

Is to be clear, “personal information” when the standard should be the right of personal information rather than “data”, no explicit, voluntary citizens authorize and law, business organizations have no right to ask for information. The EU directive on the protection of personal data has detailed provisions, including: gathering information to obtain the users consent; only collect “minimal information to accomplish has told”; the implementation of personal information “that is, to delete it after use” principle, stages inform the purpose of use of personal information collected is attained, should be immediately deleted personal information.

In fact, the system in this regard, China is not blank. In February 2013, China’s first-ever national standards for personal information protection–information security technology: a guide to public and business services personal information protection in information systems (GBZ 28828-2012) was officially opened. The Guide builds on the EU provisions, defines personal information “voluntary” and “minimum” “that is, to delete it after use” principle. And that applies not only to the Guide IT enterprises for processing of users ‘ personal information, also applies to telecommunications, financial, medical and other services, which itself has a personal information protection “small legislation” pattern.

However, it is regrettable that, over the years, preceding the Guide has almost become a blank paper, of personal information by commercial greed to grab even flagrant blackmail. Executive should be actively monitoring the implementation of the provisions of the Guide to the protection of personal information; Internet giants facing East “information to blackmail”, consumers are often difficult to have the right to speak, if the administration there is no strict oversight, like “Ju, I for the fish”.

In “the age of big data” role of citizens ‘ personal information, and old law protection are often powerless, so Government protection of public law must be followed. What s up with the literature of our time
