互联网领域未成年人隐私权保护问题研究

Research on the Protection of the Minors’Right of Privacy in the Field of Internet

在互联网快速发展的背景下,未成年人在网络领域的隐私权受到威胁。因互联网数据的记忆性、损害后果不可逆性与未成年人的隐私权保护需求产生矛盾。目前我国缺乏对互联网领域未成年人隐私权的立法保护,常常导致侵权行为发生时被侵害人得不到应有的补偿。可以借鉴域内外的有益经验,采取“专门立法为主,引导行业自律为辅”的行业管理模式,参照《刑法》对未成年人的年龄划分标准,适用过错推定规则和惩罚性赔偿规则,保护未成年人的隐私权,推进互联网行业的蓬勃发展。

With the rapid development of the Internet,the privacy rights and interests of the minors in the network field are threatened.In practice,there is a contradiction between the memory of Internet data and the irreversibility of damage consequences and the protection needs of the minors’privacy.At present,China lacks the legislative protection of the minors’privacy in the field of Internet,which often leads to the infringement and the victim can not get due compensation.China can learn from the judicial practice experience of other countries and regions,adopt the industry management mode of“focusing on special legislation,supplemented by guiding industry self-discipline”,and apply the fault presumption rules and punitive compensation rules with reference to the age division standard of the minors in the criminal law,so as to protect the privacy rights and interests of the minors and to improve the vigorous development of the Internet industry.
