The motion of the two sessions suggested that the state should start the legislation of personal information protection as soon as possible.

Yang Zhen, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Nanyou: I suggest that the state start legislation on personal information protection as soon as possible.

Yang Zhen, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, didn't expect his suggestion to resonate with so many delegates.

Yang Zhen suggested that the state should start the legislation of personal information protection law as soon as possible. To his surprise, in just half a day, 30 deputies signed the bill-at least 30 other NPC deputies signed the bill.

As a well-known communication expert in China, Yang Zhen is also in trouble. He often receives sales calls, but he is often called by his first name. Yang Zhen said, "For example, will (the other party) ask if you are President Yang? This is a lie. "

Yang Zhen still doesn't know where his information came from. He said that express delivery is registered in real-name registration system, and the ID card will let people know the ID number and family information. If you swipe your card on the spot, you also know the bank card information. "There are thousands of couriers and the personnel are uneven."

Yang Zhen said that in the past, the communications industry was strictly controlled by the state. "If you want to check other people's information, it is absolutely not allowed, but now you can check everything online." Yang Zhen also found that netizens' hobbies and information will be collected when surfing the Internet.

Yang Zhen believes that there is great risk in information leakage, and with the development of science and technology, the risk will become greater and greater.

Yang Zhen said that with the development of science and technology, big data technology can mine new conclusions from existing information through specific algorithms, which not only increases the risk of exposure of sensitive information, but also may be used to make decisions that affect personal rights. 、

Yang Zhen also reminded that the Internet of Things era is coming, which brings convenience to people, but also hides risks. For example, you have a health detector that can monitor blood pressure, heartbeat, blood sugar and other information, but it is networked. If there is no better protection, others can also know this information.

This made Yang Zhen panic: "If society does not have certain rules and regulations, and there is no law, something will happen sooner or later." In order to operate normally, the virtual world must be orderly and have corresponding rules and regulations and constraints. "

Yang Zhen said that the United States promulgated the Electronic Privacy Act as early as the end of last century, and the European Union also promulgated the Big Data Protection Act, which shows that developed countries have realized that the virtual world needs to protect people's privacy and personal data as strictly as the real world.

Nowadays, the development speed of Internet in China has shocked the world, with a large scale of users, a large market and a wide range of services ... even surpassing the United States in some aspects.

But to Yang Zhen's surprise, in China, where the Internet is so developed, there are also many laws and regulations aimed at the Internet field, "but there is almost no protection for personal information". Moreover, these existing laws and regulations are numerous, chaotic and unsystematic, and many departments are also "managing water in Kowloon".

In view of the above considerations, Yang Zhen has drawn up a plan to start the legislation of the Personal Information Protection Law as soon as possible, and this plan has also received enthusiastic response from other representatives.
