On October 13, 2020, the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress proposed a draft law on the protection of personal information. The enactment of the personal information protection law can largely protect the privacy of personal information and avoid problems such as the use of personal information by unlawful elements to jeopardize people's lives and property safety. Personal information protection law has been introduced in the draft, the specific law needs to be based on the reality of our country, the establishment of a legal system in line with the national conditions of our society, it will take some time.
With the rapid development of Internet information technology, we are gradually entering the data era, every aspect of our lives are inseparable from the phone, but a variety of endless malware also through the Internet to invade our cell phones, so as to obtain our personal information. The illegal elements stole our personal information, not only will give us a harassment call, but also through a variety of methods to fraud, such as the current endless telecom fraud is a very good example.
We often receive calls from various sales agents, but in fact, in a sense, it is our personal information has been illegally leaked. Nowadays, the illegal sale of personal information has become a new industry, and many software or businesses collect customer information and then sell their customers' personal information to gain illegal profit. For example, when I was preparing for graduate school, I didn't register my phone number with the graduate school, I just browsed the graduate school information on my cell phone, but I was bombarded with a lot of text messages from the graduate school, which is the current phenomenon of personal information leakage.
In today's data-driven era, the legal protection of personal information is an urgent issue. However, so far, there is no comprehensive protection of personal information law, so the emergence of the draft law on the protection of personal information is of great significance, only the state to pay attention to the protection of personal information, the enactment of relevant laws, in order to vigorously combat those who are not lawful, so as to protect the interests of the people. Personal information protection is urgent, I believe that in the next few years, personal information protection law specific laws will soon be introduced.
