What is the significance of the draft personal information protection law? When will the specific laws be promulgated?

June 65438+1October 65438+March 2020, the 13th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) proposed the draft personal information protection law. The enactment of the personal information protection law can protect the privacy of personal information to a great extent and prevent criminals from using personal information to endanger people's life and property safety. The draft personal information protection law has been issued, and it will take some time to establish a legal system that conforms to the social situation in China.

With the rapid development of Internet information technology, we have gradually entered the data age, and all aspects of life are inseparable from mobile phones. However, all kinds of malicious software also invade our mobile phones through the Internet to obtain our personal information. When criminals steal our personal information, they will not only make harassing calls to us, but also cheat us in various ways. For example, the endless stream of telecom fraud is a good example.

We often get calls from various sales agents. In fact, in a sense, our personal information was illegally leaked. Nowadays, illegal trading of personal information has become a new industry. Many software or businesses collect customer information and then sell their personal information to obtain illegal income. For example, when I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, I didn't register my phone number in the postgraduate entrance examination institution. I just browsed the postgraduate entrance examination information on my mobile phone, but a large number of postgraduate entrance examination text messages bombarded me. This is the phenomenon of personal information leakage now.

In today's digital age, the legal protection of personal information is an urgent problem to be solved. However, at present, there is no comprehensive law to protect personal information in China, so the appearance of the draft Personal Information Protection Law is of great significance. Only when the state attaches importance to the protection of personal information and formulates relevant laws can we effectively crack down on those lawless elements and thus safeguard the interests of the people. The protection of personal information is imminent, and I believe that in the next few years, the specific laws of the personal information protection law will be promulgated soon.
