Comment: why do I insist on prepaid mobile phone should be postponed
“Current SMS scams abound, spam and nuisance calls often, artificially created social new destabilizing factor.” January 19, Li Defeng and 10 other deputies to Guangdong to recommend to the General Assembly, the Guangdong Provincial Government to consider the adoption of provincial people’s Congress enacted local laws or regulations, mandatory for all mobile phone users in Guangdong province must be real-name system. (New letters January 20)
Introduction of prepaid mobile phone, of course, in favour of combating crime and preventing spam text messages, also introduced early in the planning of the Ministry of information industry of prepaid mobile phone regulations. but I still think that, before such laws, regulations and measures introduced, prepaid mobile phone should be postponed.
Qian soon, pair couples hold kiss of video fragment in Internet Shang spread. has signs indicates that, this segment video has may is Metro company of monitoring camera shooting, then was leaked to online of. this on revealed has a terrible of information, those for open monitored, has maintenance public security duties of people, also may is violations we privacy and various free and rights of people. so, in related regulations measures enough perfect or missing of situations Xia, rashly implemented phone real-name system, user of privacy security how get protection does?
Introduction of prepaid mobile phone, you must first of all, take measures to protect the privacy of users.
First, must prevention operators, and agents. they is first contact is also most easy to leaked phone privacy of people, if no strong of protection measures, user privacy in they hands may was considered “a heap waste” at will dropped, also may became a commodity at will sold advertising commercial for profit-making. Although current some local as Shanghai, some operators also preliminary has protection privacy of consciousness, they in and user signed network “contract” Shi increased has “must protection user information privacy” Terms and conditions. but only this one is clearly not enough, we also need to develop more specific and detailed laws and regulations, such as requiring telecom operators and agents must be effective protection measures to be taken, what procedures should fulfil, punishment out of the question should be how to effectively protect the privacy of mobile users.
Second, also to prevention public power organs especially law enforcement organs. current, some power organs especially investigation organs, in query citizens of personal privacy information Shi does not too specification, usually simply units leadership approved on line, randomness is large, this on is no guarantee that we of privacy does not was abuse power who by violations. current implemented of various real-name system including in public places installed camera lens, actually are faced with a common of problem, is how ensure citizens privacy does not was public power organs at will gets.
Course, specification operators, and agents and public power organs of behavior, just on power of one-way constraint, to wanted to effective protection privacy, also be ensure citizens right to confrontation abuse public power of behavior. as to implemented phone real-name system, that on must provisions citizens has which most basic of privacy rights, such as citizens right to know who contact or query has own of phone privacy, right to for phone privacy was violations (including public power of investigation behavior) brought litigation, and so on.
So, for prepaid mobile phone users, we cannot be rushed, required adequate legislative proof and hearing, in particular, to consider how to protect the privacy of our prepaid mobile phone. If it is not extensively supporting measures of public opinion and lack of protection of privacy, then a prepaid mobile phone should be postponed.
