Oversight vs privacy
(China Daily)
Updated: 2006-12-01 10:11 Internet-related regulations will be better accepted if they come out after the government has fully solicited public opinion and undergone legal procedures. Regarding the real-name arrangement, there must be clearly defined and applicable laws that prevent the identity information of Internet users from being leaked out and misused. Such issues as which department should be held responsible for the security of such information and what liabilities it will shoulder must be clearly stipulated in the law. If this cannot be ensured, it is better for policy-makers to think again before they launches the online real-name identity system in haste. The tens of millions of Chinese netizens would not oppose proper management that will clean up the online environment and curb crime. They surf to share and communicate, and a clean online community is in the interest of all. What they would doubt is a vaguely defined rule that may be badly interpreted and abused to encroach upon their legitimate rights. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
