Hidden "private" is too difficult! Mobile Internet mobile application what is the bottom line? -Mobile phone application, Twitter, pulse-IT information
The original title of the mobile Internet data privacy bottom line, IT information Edit modify, as appropriate.
With the popularization of Internet, mobile Internet, more and more, the data privacy issue has become a key issue, especially the mobile Internet era, the information included in the user's mobile phone users, and the app is quite the excesses, almost all of the app always subconsciously that requires all the permissions, have long caused a lot of controversy, but few conclusions. In the "world intellectual property day" on this day, Twitter versus affectionately pronounced Twitter WINS , the Court found that pulse products constitute unfair competition, should apology and compensation of 2 million Yuan, is the first case of commercial use of the personal data.
What happened is that, microblogging itself is an open platform, so providing the account login function, that is, other app, Twitter users can use Twitter account login directly, this is a user-friendly approach. Most app within the industry use similar micro-blogging, micro-credit, QQ landing way, which can reduce user registration processes, increasing its software activity.
However, this kind of interface calls are to abide by the rules of Twitter , and can only be called through an interface, rather than using other methods such as spiders to crawl information. While embracing social software in the workplace is a real name, user information, especially information and education information is important in the workplace (find a coworker or classmate), does not have the permission of grasping situations, through other technical means, it crawls to the Twitter user's authentication information, and cell phone number matching annotations directly in the software. This makes the user is not registered in the pulse platform also marked the real-name information, violation of the Twitter rules and gain undue advantage. In other words, maybe you just left a cell phone, but he would from your micro-blog to crawl to you marked for additional information, the most frightening thing is, if you upload your address book, your friends will also be marked as your contacts, so that even if you are not registered on that platform, your information is also sweeping views. This makes the pulse of a rich network of resources, but this information is not all users to upload open, but crawl through Facebook platform in private.
Such behavior makes Twitter very injured, would have landed this open platform is designed to facilitate, but also a platform for corporate responsibility reflects. But if you abuse this open, will obviously have the platform of fear. Open the user, malicious steal user information, If everybody does not abide by the rules, there was no platform has dared to open . If this trend continues it will only lead to bad money driving out good money. This will definitely affect the openness of the Internet, is clearly not in the interests of development of the industry.
Although technically a lot of things can be achieved, but in fact, in terms of data, we also have to comply with the privacy of the bottom line, even though many users may not care, but actually did not know what had happened. Technology companies must not use knowledge of user blind, arbitrary use of user information . Or user information privacy has become a dead letter, just got a phone call, you can find all the activities that users on all platforms, as long as the secretly uploaded to a user's address book, you can grab more user, send text messages and get them to register. This user expansion is extremely terrible, if in the phone APP does not strictly comply with users ' expectations and user privacy, personal data of excesses, which send false text messages and using a fake base station lies there is no much difference.
In this connection, industry norms and constraints on business ethics alone are not enough. The judgment of the Court of Haidian District, should say to the age of big data the user provides an example of privacy protection. This time too fast, legal with a delay is normal. In this case, is a warning to offenders on the one hand, on the other hand the Court encountered similar cases also have a reference. World Intellectual property day, in this case ruled that it's hard to say that's not a hint-the age of big data privacy protection at the judicial level, and instead of hanging on a technical and commercial level, but will focus on the user. After all, compared to Internet companies, ordinary users is truly vulnerable .
Mobile Internet of privacy first also is to by self-discipline, technology should reached a not mess caught user content of basic consensus , let all service in user of license Xia for, and not privately think on user good, on done all things, this case of case, from legal Shang also finds has this is, for future whole industry of specification is a has milestone meaning things.
隐“私”太难!移动互联网时代
手机应用底线何在? -
手机应用,微博,脉脉 - IT资讯
原标题《移动互联网的数据隐私底线》,IT资讯编辑酌情修改。
随着互联网、移动互联网的普及度越来越高,数据隐私问题就成了一个非常关键的问题,尤其是移动互联网时代,用户的手机内包含了用户大量的信息,而app们却相当的不节制,几乎所有的app总会下意识的要求获取全部权限,一直以来都引发了很多争议,却很少有什么定论。就在“世界知识产权日”这一天,微博诉脉脉一案宣判微博胜诉,法院判定脉脉产品构成不正当竞争,应道歉并赔偿200万元,堪称个人数据商业化使用的第一案。
事情的原委是这样的,微博本身是开放平台,所以提供相应的账号登陆功能,也就是说,其他app应用,微博的用户可以用微博账户直接登陆,这本来是一个方便用户的做法。行业内大部分app都会用到类似微博、微信、qq登陆的方式,从而能够减少用户注册的环节,增加自己的软件活跃度。
但是,这种接口调用是要遵守微博规则的,同时只能通过接口调用,而不能使用其他的方法比如爬虫来抓取信息的。而脉脉是一个实名的职场社交软件,用户真实信息尤其是职场信息和教育信息非常重要(找到同事或者同学),在不具备抓取权限的情况下,通过其他技术手段,就把微博用户的认证信息抓取来了,直接和手机号匹配就标注在软件中。这使得没有在脉脉平台注册的用户也被标注了实名的信息,违反了微博的规定,同时也获取了不当的利益。换句话说,也许你只是留了个手机,但是他就会从你的微博抓取到你的其他信息标注出来,最可怕的是,假如你上传了自己的通讯录,你的朋友也会被标注出来成为你的一度人脉,这样就算你们都没有注册这个平台,你们的信息也一样是一览无余的。这使得脉脉上的人脉资源相当丰富,但这些信息却并不都是用户上传开放的,而是通过微博等平台私下抓取的。
这样的行为让微博很受伤,本来这种平台开放登陆是为了方便大家,也是一个平台企业的责任感体现。但是如果对这种开放进行滥用,显然会让平台心有余悸。自己开放了用户,用户信息却被恶意盗取,如果大家都这样不守规矩的话,就没有什么平台敢开放了。长此下去只会导致劣币驱除良币。这势必会影响互联网的开放性,显然是不符合行业发展的利益的。
虽然技术上很多东西可以实现,但实际上,在数据方面,我们还是要遵守一些隐私的底线,尽管很多用户可能不在意,但其实是根本不知道发生了什么。技术公司绝不能利用用户的知识盲区,就对用户的信息肆意妄为的使用。不然用户的信息隐私就成了一纸空文,只要拿到一个电话,就可以对应的查找到这个用户在各个平台上的所有活动,只要偷偷上传了用户的通讯录,就可以抓取到更多用户,给他们发短信,让他们来注册。这样的用户拓展是极其可怕的,如果在手机中的APP不严格遵守用户意愿和用户隐私,对其中的个人数据肆意乱用,这和用假基站发假短信骗人的也没有什么太大区别了。
这一点,仅靠行业规范和商业道德来约束是不够的。海淀法院的这个判决,应该说是给大数据时代用户隐私的保护提供了一个范例。这个时代进步的太快,法律存在滞后性很正常。通过这种判例,一方面对违法者是一种警示,另一方面法院遇到类似案件也有了参考。这个案子在世界知识产权日宣判,很难说这不是一种暗示——大数据时代用户隐私的保护,在司法层面并不会纠结于技术或商业层面,而是会聚焦于用户。毕竟相对于互联网公司,普通用户才是真正的弱势群体。
移动互联网的隐私首先还是要靠自律,科技界应该达成一个不乱抓用户内容的基本共识,让一切服务在用户的许可下进行,而不是私下觉得对用户好,就代劳所有事情,这个案件的判例,从法律上也认定了这一点,对于未来整个行业的规范是一件有里程碑意义事情。
