Cyber security law is the first basic law in China to comprehensively regulate the management of cyberspace security, an important milestone in the construction of cyberspace rule of law in China, a legal weapon to govern the Internet according to law and resolve network risks, and an important guarantee for the healthy operation of the Internet on the track of rule of law.
The Network Security Law institutionalizes some mature good practices in recent years, and provides principles for possible system innovation in the future, which provides practical legal protection for network security work.
Three highlights of network security law:
1. Do not sell personal information: if a network product or service has the function of collecting user information, its provider shall express it to the user and obtain consent; Network operators shall not disclose, tamper with or destroy the personal information they collect; No individual or organization may steal or obtain personal information by other illegal means, or illegally sell or provide personal information to others, and stipulate corresponding legal responsibilities.
2. Severely crack down on online fraud: No individual or organization may set up websites or distribution groups that commit fraud, teach criminal methods, make or sell illegal and criminal activities such as prohibited items and controlled items, or make or sell information about illegal and criminal activities such as prohibited items and controlled items through the Internet.
3. Clarify the "network real-name registration system" in legal form: network operators should require users to provide real identity information when handling network access, domain name registration services, fixed telephones, mobile phones and other access procedures or providing users with information release, instant messaging and other services. If the user does not provide true identity information, the network operator shall not provide relevant services for him.
