“广东人肉搜索第一案”再解读——以侵犯公民个人信息罪视角展开

“Guangdong Human Flesh Search Case No.1” Reinterpretation ——From the Perspective of the Crime of Violating Citizens' Personal Information

随着侵犯公民个人信息罪的出现以及相关司法解释的颁布,对原广东"人肉搜索第一案"应重新解读。根据对"个人信息"内涵的界定,"视频截图"被认定为个人信息没有争议。上传"视频截图"到微博的行为可以认定为向不特定人"提供"个人信息。因被害人自杀,将行为人上传"视频截图"的行为归入侵犯公民个人信息罪"情节特别严重"的情形,具有理论自洽性。对行为人上传"视频截图"的行为需按照想象竞合原则进行处断,本案应定性为侵犯公民个人信息罪。

With the emergence of the crime of violating citizens’ personal information and the promulgation of relevant judicial interpretation,the original'Guangdong Human Flesh Search Case No.1'should be reinterpreted.According to the definition of the connotation of'personal information','video screenshot'is,without controversy, deemed as personal information. Uploading 'video screenshot'to Weibo can be considered as'providing'personal information to an unspecified person.Since the victim has committed suicide,the act of uploading'video screenshot'by the actor can be classified as a'specially serious'case of the crime of violating citizens’personal information,which has theoretical consistency.The act of uploading 'video screenshot'by the actor shall be punished in accordance with the principle of imaginary competition and cooperation,and this case shall be defined as the crime of violating citizens’personal information.
