The emergence of the Internet has facilitated the communication of netizens, but it has also threatened the privacy of netizens.

In this sense, the network is a double-edged sword.

In order to carry forward the goodness of the Internet and overcome the evil of the Internet, we have interviewed Xia Xueluan, a professor of sociology at Peking University, who has long been concerned about network security and privacy protection. He asked him to interpret the problems of network security and privacy protection.

"The Internet must leave enough room for privacy."

China Radio International: with the advent of the Internet age,

Privacy

The phenomenon of being exposed on the Internet has been increasing. Is there any way for the Internet to protect citizens' privacy?

Xia: the openness and openness of the network decide that there is no privacy on the Internet.

This is because there is no room for a person to enter or leave. There is no privacy in a group without membership restrictions.

Because here, just like the mule horse assembly, is the secret of the spread of privacy, rumors generated platform.

China Radio International: so, how should we restrict the invasion of privacy by the Internet?

Xia: the legality and management of society determine the sanctity of citizens' privacy, which determines that the Internet needs privacy.

Network is a new social interaction platform and social interaction form created by IT technology.

As a new form of social aggregation, the network is also subject to the management and restriction of the law, that is to say, the Internet also needs privacy.

The privacy free social aggregates are neither solid nor sustainable.

If the network wants to maintain its vigorous vitality, it must leave enough room for privacy.

"Decadent social environment is the background of privacy crisis".

China Radio International: some media have described the phenomenon of frequent violations of personal privacy as "China's privacy crisis".

How do you view this metaphor?

Xia: the Internet privacy crisis is not accidental and isolated. It is a manifestation of the contemporary society.

On the one hand, China

moral value

The system flee on the whole line, on the other hand, some people with social conscience are sticking to it, forming a game of light and darkness.

China Radio International: what is the relationship between privacy crisis and Chinese society in pition?

Xia: the Internet privacy crisis reflects China's integrity crisis.

Lack of integrity has led to the complete collapse of China's moral system.

The ancients taught us that sincerity is the basis of understanding.

Therefore, the lack of honesty leads to the breakup of sentiment.

This kind of fracture not only displays social interpersonal relations, but also displays between individuals and organizations, and shows between people, society and nature.

The Internet privacy crisis is a crisis between people and network technology on the surface. It is actually a crisis between people and a manifestation and result of interpersonal breakthrough.

China's credibility crisis has exacerbated China's trust crisis.

China's trust crisis is the result of social, economic, political, legal, educational, cultural and other comprehensive factors, but the credibility crisis has further exacerbated China's trust crisis.

The worsening trust crisis in China and the excessive judgement and miscarriage of justice by some local authorities have created a decadent atmosphere that the public is afraid of being brave enough to retreat and protect themselves.

This decadent social environment is the background of Internet privacy crisis.

"The Internet Privacy Protection Act" is a pressing matter of the moment.

China Radio International: how to protect privacy in the Internet era?

How high is the feasibility of using legal means to govern?

Xia: for violations of privacy on the Internet, it is necessary to protect the laws on the protection of network privacy.

Therefore, the introduction of the "Internet privacy protection law" has become a top priority.

The "Internet Privacy Protection Act" should be based on the citizens' rights prescribed by the constitution, combined with the new forms and characteristics of network interaction, and define in detail the scope of citizens' online privacy and the measures to determine the nature of privacy violations and penalties.

China Radio International: cyberspace has very strong virtuality. Will it give it to you?

Privacy protection

Does legal practice bring difficulties?

Xia: Although cyberspace is virtual, the behavior and interaction on the Internet are realistic.

The network vest is changed, and the network actor is stable.

Although "waistcoat" can be changed frequently on the Internet, Internet actors are stable and have a fixed identity.

The premise of formulating network privacy protection law is that network behavior must be recognized.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a seamless docking authentication system from virtual space to real society, so that crimes in virtual space can be detected, prevented and controlled as crimes in real society.

The foundation of legislation on Internet privacy protection is that we must carefully define the boundary scope of Internet privacy, the qualitative criteria of deviance and crime and the corresponding punishment measures.

Only by solving the above two problems can we implement the legislative process of "Internet privacy protection law".

At the same time, every netizen must strengthen network consciousness, improve network self-discipline, overcome snooping desire, and attach importance to the protection of network privacy.

Not only should we attach importance to the protection of our privacy, but the most important thing is to attach importance to the protection of the privacy of others.

If you do not want others to infringe upon your privacy, respect others' privacy first; if you infringe upon the privacy of others, then your privacy will not be guaranteed. This is the dialectics of the exchange of status between you and me.
