Personal Information Protection In News Communication From The Perspective Of The Right To Be Forgotten

With the rapid development of Internet technology,the protection of personal information that was not prominent in cyberspace has become increasingly prominent.The vests on chat rooms and web pages are no longer just virtual accounts.Behind real-name authentication are lively and vivid natural persons and a large list of personal data and information belonging to them.Emerging technologies allow each of you and me to communicate smoothly in the cyberspace,and also bring the hidden danger that personal information can be stolen and leaked at any time.Whether it is Baidu CEO Li Yanhong's "privacy for convenience" theory or Alibaba founder Ma Yun's "We collect data by selling things,data is Ali's most valuable wealth",we have ushered in an information data as valuable as oil New era.Social problems such as big data killing and personal information leaking out in an endless stream.In the era of big data,no one can easily jump out of the Internet's memory and become the forgotten exception.The right to be forgotten is not yet a legal right in China,but it has its shadow in various regulations.In particular,the Personal Information Protection Law to be established in China in 2020 will establish a good legislative foundation for the establishment of the right to be forgotten in China.At the same time,its discussions in the news and communication field are mostly from the perspective of news communication practice and governance from the media,and rarely explore the direction of personal information protection.This article will combine the perspective of law and the practice of news communication to sort out the relationship between the right to be forgotten,the right to information and the right to privacy.Personal information protection problems in practice and corresponding suggestions for solutions.As the main body of information,each natural person will prevent his personal privacy information from being disclosed by the right to be forgotten,and will ask the data controller to delete the relevant personal information.A large amount of personal data and personal information will become the "evidence" in news copyright protection or the source of information in news reports.Deletion of "evidence" is not conducive to the protection of news copyright,and the deletion of sources in news reports is not conducive to the credibility of news.Deletion of news report information will limit the public's right to know.If reports with positive energy that have a positive impact on social development are deleted,it will even be a restriction on press freedom.News communicators will be constrained by the existence of the right to be forgotten,lest they be swept up by incidents of invasion.In an era when everyone has a microphone to speak,there is a deep connection between public expression and freedom of the press.Every public has the potential to be the next journalist on the new media platform.The protection of personal information will become a protective cover for public expression and the basis for the good development of press freedom.The two should not be mutually exclusive.When producing news reports,news communicators should protect the personal information of each citizen in the interests of the broad masses of the people;distinguish the right subjects in special reports and adopt different reporting methods for different rights subjects.In the practice of journalism and communication,journalists should consider the protection of personal information of minors,public figures and offenders at different levels.Especially for criminals in major criminal incidents,when protecting the personal information of this group of people,they should first make a judgment on his current state of influence before deciding whether to protect their personal information.If the criminal is still a huge threat in society,he is not suitable for "forgotten." If he is good,it is necessary to protect his personal information and help him return to normal society.From the perspective of the right to be forgotten,how to protect personal information in the practice of news communication must work together in four directions: technology,value,management and justice.At the source of the technology,it is necessary to anonymize and obfuscate personal information and establish the boundaries of web crawlers,and establish standards for crawling personal information.From the source of the value,objectively identify the value of the news,so that the survival of the fittest is eliminated and the order is deleted.Pay attention to the retention value of news content,and do not follow the red line of personal information protection.Build a trust mechanism for Internet data companies at the source of management,build a news monitoring mechanism and an ethics committee.The two sides will work together to share industry trends and work together to protect personal information.At the source of justice,promote legislation on personal information protection laws and data.At the same time,a data life cycle is set up so that the time limit for storing personal information data is no longer permanent.
