(Reporter Chen Peng) The country's first case against telecommunications for caller ID has reached the first instance verdict. The Panlong District People's Court of Kunming City recently issued a judgment that it would not support the plaintiff's request for the defendant to bear infringement liability and dismissed the plaintiff's lawsuit on the spot. ask.
On August 14, Xinhua News Agency's "Xinhua Viewpoint" column published an article "Does Caller ID Infringe on Privacy?" He demanded that the defendant bear legal responsibility for infringing on his right to use and dispose of his phone number, and that telecommunications companies should not display his phone number to others without his consent. After the article was published, it attracted the attention of many media across the country and triggered extensive discussions.
After accepting the case, the Panlong District Court of Kunming City held that the plaintiff has the right to use and control the number; according to the "Yunnan Province Consumer Rights Protection Regulations": In addition to the provisions of laws and regulations, operators Consumers’ personal information shall not be disclosed to third parties for any reason without the consumer’s consent. Personal information includes contact details. Therefore, Wang Weining has the right to privacy of his phone number.
However, the court held that my country’s legal profession generally attributes the right to privacy to the right of reputation, and has clear regulations on the infringement of the right of reputation, that is, it must be in a certain way and must have a certain impact to constitute an infringement. . In this case, the plaintiff has never provided specific evidence of the consequences of "Caller ID infringement"; at the same time, "Caller ID" is for better communication, meets the needs of public **** interests, and has obvious progress for the development of society. Meaning, in line with the principle that public interests are higher than personal interests. Based on the principle of personal interests, the plaintiff Wang Weining sued the telecommunications company for infringement, but the court did not support it.
The court made a judgment based on this: rejecting Wang Weining’s claim.
Wang Weining seemed very calm about this result.
He believes that the court has established two obvious facts - the plaintiff has the right to use and control the phone number, and the plaintiff has the right to privacy of the phone number. Since users enjoy these two rights, they have the right to ask the defendant to stop the damage. He said he would continue to appeal.
Song Di, a civil law expert at Yunnan University Law School, believes that although he has a negative attitude towards the court's confirmation of the right to privacy, the social significance of this case far exceeds the case itself. The court's confirmation of the right to use and control not only reminded telecom users how to view their phone numbers, but also provided some judicial basis for consumers to exercise and safeguard their rights; although Wang Weining's seriousness is not important in promoting public **** services It is of positive significance to the construction of the legal system, but his defeat just warned citizens that they should use their right to appeal correctly and avoid abuse.

Call ID invades privacy? The country’s first lawsuit against caller ID infringement
Excerpts from netizens’ speeches:
Xinhuanet netizen: In 1992, I went to Qingdao on a business trip and passed through Zhengzhou. I asked a friend who worked in Zhengzhou to help me buy one. Zhang’s ticket to Qingdao. Since Zhengzhou Station has two exits, this friend and I were unable to meet at the station. The ticket was for the afternoon of the next day, and the next day was Sunday. What to do? In desperation, I dialed 114 to check the directory, and sure enough I found my friend's home phone number. So, we met successfully the next day and I got the ticket. In 2000, I went to Changsha on a business trip. I remembered that an old classmate I hadn’t seen in 25 years was in Changsha, and I wanted to meet him. But I haven’t contacted him in more than 20 years, and I don’t know what unit he is in or where he lives. I repeated my old trick, but this time it failed - the directory inquiry desk asked: In which street and lane does the person you are looking for live? I said I said: I don’t know! I said: "I don't know!" The inspector said: "Then we can't give it to you. We are responsible for the privacy of our customers. As a result, another four years have passed and I still haven't been able to see this old classmate. I don't Understand: how a phone number is related to personal privacy, except that the owner of the phone number specifically told the person at the telecommunications bureau: "Don't use my phone for some personal reasons (for example, the lawyer does not want to take the case through the phone at home). "Tell others the number." Isn't it the purpose of telecommunications bureaus to provide such services to better serve users?
Xinhuanet netizen: If caller ID is an advancement in technology, then self-protection (at least this is the case) awareness and action) is the progress of social civilization! The progress of human civilization is the "sacrifice" made by many thoughtful people for the benefit of all mankind. Don't beat people to death with a stick. Such people have ulterior motives. ! Let's discuss the matter without personal attacks. In other words, you support caller ID, or you are a beneficiary, or you are or will be a victim.
Xinhuanet netizen: I think caller ID charges are infringing. Consumers' "right to know" is the most critical! First, caller ID charges. Now in our country, most mobile phones are charged in both directions, that is, you have to pay before you answer the call! Telecom service providers are obliged to provide necessary product descriptions (caller ID) to consumers for free! But now, telecom service providers charge for caller ID. This is a clear violation of the rights of consumers! I don’t understand those government departments! How could you agree to this! Secondly, if the mobile phone is charged one-way, it is understandable to charge a caller ID fee (consumers can choose whether to use it)!
Xinhua Netizen: Oppose Caller ID! Give your phone number only to people you trust; when you make a relevant call, people who have nothing to do with you next to you will see your phone number. This is like when you are chatting with friends on the street and reveal your address to everyone next to you. Same! Especially customers who do not have caller ID installed are not willing to know the number of the person calling them, and the harm is even greater - generally the person calling is related to them, and the phone company does not need to make extra money! No wonder the call my daughter made after giving birth to ask for insurance for the child turned out to be the result of a "caller ID" message left by my daughter's hospital doctor
