Beijing develops and announces several regulations on development and management of micro-blog in Beijing

Beijing's People's government press office, the Beijing Communications Administration, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Beijing Internet Information Office jointly formulated the "Beijing Micro-blog development and management provisions", on November 27, 2011 announced and announced the commencement of implementation, The requirements of micro-blogging users must be in the real identity information registration, before they can use the speech function, is "backstage name, the front desk voluntarily", and the existing microblogging site should be implemented within three months.

Scope of jurisdiction

The second article of the Regulation clarified the scope of the provision: the microblogging service website in Beijing also has its microblog users.

And at present, the company that is managed by Beijing includes Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Everybody waits, while Tencent's microblog department is in Beijing, but the company is Guangdong Shenzhen Management. Therefore, the regulation of Sina Weibo is the most influential, apparently targeted at Sina Weibo, so the future development of Sina may have unexpected results.

Previously had a strong push real-name Baidu said it, the final line in less than a year will have to close, visible mandatory real-name certification is not in line with China's national conditions, in China is not feasible, mobile phones have been called for so many years of real names, until now has not been achieved, and micro-Bo has a considerable alternative, Guangdong to micro-Bo currently does not have a clear name real-name requirements , if Sina implement strict real-name, it is likely to cause users to migrate to Tencent Weibo.

Territorial nature of jurisdiction

The Beijing Local government regulations, its jurisdiction is regional, in Beijing to carry out the microblogging service site, if the Web server moved out of Beijing, transferred to Shanghai, Guangdong, you can circumvent this rule, and so for the site and users will not have too much impact; If the target is the company registered in Beijing Weibo, Then change the company registration to other provinces in China, or Caimas, Is., so that even the server does not have to move.

If this regulation is for the real name of Beijing users, the user outside Beijing to maintain the status quo, then artificial judgment is not likely, if the IP address to determine whether it is Beijing users, VPN and agent sales will have a new high, and, since the VPN, why not to take a look at Twitter and Facebook ?

Risk of personal privacy disclosure

The biggest risk is personal privacy, once the personal privacy is leaked, advertising, garbage, fraud information will follow, because from the identity card number can be informed of the user's date of birth, place of birth and sex, so once the information leaked, a person's real name, sex, age, place of birth, The identity card number and other information are all obtained by others, send spam information to the commercial website, bring convenience to the hacker Swindle.

If the microblogging site is black, resulting in the user's identity card information leakage, this responsibility who is responsible for, if someone use these identity cards and names to deal with credit cards or other crimes, the personal losses suffered by who is responsible for, this controversy by WHO to supervise?

Although the current domestic privacy protection, and the use of various ways to defraud netizens personal data for profit, has become a major source of profit for commercial web sites, but the relevant State departments did not introduce specific laws and regulations, through legal means or industry norms for the use of personal privacy for profit-making business behavior to investigate and punish, If netizens want to protect themselves, the only countermeasure is not to enter their personal identity information on the commercial website.

A simple, not the life of the necessary micro-blog, registration and even the identity card number and Chinese name, users have to consider the registration of risk gains and losses, the use of this micro-Bo can bring to their own, what they will lose.

The real-name is also a double-edged sword, originally the network is a virtual environment, in such a strict real-name certification, users will not be able to speak freely, which is not conducive to the dissemination of information and sharing, earlier Baidu said the closure has proved that the mandatory real-name certification is not in line with China's national conditions, in China is not feasible, China does not have the same operating environment as the US Facebook.

Why doesn't China have an operating environment like us Facebook? On the Internet in the United States, you will not go to jail, no matter what you say, and every user's speech will be protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, so the US real-name Facebook is reliable. And China doesn't have that kind of condition, anonymous message may be "across the province," not to mention the initiative to provide identity cards and personal information, a place can not say, users go to other places to say, even in China, do not need to register the real name of the site is everywhere, QQ Group, Baidu Post bar, NetEase thread, etc. There is no need to publish on Weibo.
