网络个人信息保护国际合作的障碍与选择:以软法为路径

On the obstacles and choices of Internet personal information protection international cooperation: the path of soft law

随着信息技术的发展,越来越多的跨国经济活动依托互联网展开。互联网提高了跨境交易效率,但同时也把以个人信息保护为重点的交易安全问题提到公众面前。个人信息保护带有强烈的属地色彩,但信息跨境流动使得我们又不得不关注该领域的国际合作。目前,由于国内、国际两个方面个人信息保护的立法差异,导致该领域依靠硬法进行国际合作的障碍较多。因此,从互联网时代软法的受让性和长期以来个人信息保护领域的软法实践两个方面可以看出,选择以软法为路径展开合作的可行性。进而,站在中国立场上提出以软法为路径“软硬兼施、内外联动”的主张,力图明确我国在网络个人信息保护国际合作领域的可行性路径,发挥我国在国际网络空间治理的作用,从而推动网络空间命运共同体的构建。

With the development of information technology, more and more transnational economic activities rely on the Internet. The new round of globalization is characterized by the global flow of data, which also refers to the public view of information security, which focuses on the protection of personal information. Personal information protection has a strong local color, but the cross-border flow of information makes us have to focus on international cooperation in this field. At present, there are many barriers to international cooperation in this field due to the legislative differences in personal information protection in both domestic and inter-national aspects. Therefore, it can be seen from the application of soft law in the Internet era and the practice of soft law in the field of personal information protection. Then, standing on the position of China is put forward based on soft law path “carrot and stick, internal and external linkage”,trying to clear in the network of personal information protection in China in the field of int^national cooperation is feasible path,give play to the role of our country in the international network of space governance, in order to impel the building of cyberspace community of fate.
