网络服务提供者在隐私侵权中的注意义务

Duty of Care of Internet Service Providers in Privacy Infringement

在隐私侵权风险日益严重的现代网络空间,网络服务提供者承担着主观预见后果和客观规避危险的法律责任。与传统媒体类似,网络服务提供者的注意义务亦属对专业领域的特殊要求,法定义务虽然相对较高,但仍然是与其传播性质和范围相适应的合理的注意义务。在事前,网络服务提供者负有一种有限但非普遍的审查义务,主要目的是限制非法信息传播以预防侵权;在事后,它承担着知悉侵权后删除、屏蔽与断开链接等及时采取必要措施的监管救济义务。与事前审查义务相比,其所负有的事后监督义务相对较低。
