Research On Out-of-Control Of Personal Information Use In Social Media

In the mobile social era,people can easily read,create,share and communicate online,thereby generating a large amount of personal data.Out-of-control of personal information use has become a common problem of global concern.Facing this problem,there are currently two major modes of "decentralized legislative model" and "uniform legislative model" in the world at the legal protection of personal information right.The former is represented by the United States,and the latter by the European Union.However,the protection of personal information right in China is still in the exploration stage.Based on this background,this research will mainly use research methods such as questionnaire survey,participatory observation,and policy analysis,discuss the performance and causes of the out-of-control of personal information use in China's social media environment,and briefly propose solutions to the protection of personal information.The study found:in China's social media environment,personal information is facing out-of-control risks,specifically manifested as:the out-of-control of personal information use brought about by technological development,the self-disclosure of personal information by social media users,and the commercial use of personal information by platforms and companies,etc.Now the main reasons for the out-of-control of personal information use include:first,there is a "privacy paradox" phenomenon-the contradiction between the information owner's strong privacy awareness and weak protection behavior;second,the Internet platform's "interests first" governance attitude;third,the country's unbalanced orientation between industrial development,national security and the protection of personal information right.Through the efforts of strengthening privacy protection awareness of users,enhancing public responsibility of the platform,and establishing and improving information protection laws and regulations,the personal information right in the mobile social context can be effectively protected in China.
