Although it has not been used by others at present, people in the legal profession point out that it may lead to disputes that infringe on privacy. "If I want to monitor the whereabouts of others, I will help him do this business?" Zhang Kui, a lawyer at Credit Suisse Law Firm in the East, said that although this business uses password restrictions and other methods to prevent abuse, this does not change its nature of infringing on others' privacy. "In the event of a legal dispute in which the targeted person sues the targeted person for violating the privacy right, it is difficult for Unicom to be exempted from the confidentiality agreement without the signature of the targeted person."
Li Weigen, a lawyer of Nanjing Hengding Law Firm, also said that although there is no law in China at present, legally speaking, the right to privacy should be as innate as the right to name and portrait. As long as it is within the private life of the obligee and I don't want to make it public, it should be private-including its location, of course. "If there is the signature of the locked person and the locked person is allowed to inquire, then it can be considered that the locked person is not suspected of invading privacy," he said. "But this is often difficult to operate, because you can't restrict the person who handles this business from giving, transferring or' losing' the mobile phone."
Unicom can only bind people who do business.
In this regard, Chen Xu, Marketing Department of China Unicom, said that the company has realized this problem and will strictly follow the business process, requiring users to provide ID cards of both the locator and the targeted person, but the confidentiality agreement has clearly stipulated that it is not allowed to engage in illegal activities by using the positioning system. If the target is not fully informed, it is that the person handling this business has not fulfilled his responsibility, not Unicom. "What we can do is to restrain people who come to handle business."
