According to the conclusion of the network security review and the problems and clues found, the State Internet Information Office filed a case against Didi Global Co., Ltd. for suspected violations. It is verified that the company's violations of the Network Security Law, the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law have clear facts, conclusive evidence, serious circumstances and bad nature.
On July 21, according to relevant laws and regulations, the State Internet Information Office fined Didi Global Co., Ltd. 8.026 billion yuan, and fined the chairman and CEO Cheng Wei and president Liu Qing of Didi Global Co., Ltd. 1 million yuan respectively.
From the observation of the information disclosed at present, the problems revealed by Didi in terms of network security, data security and personal information protection are shocking: there are not only many risks and hidden dangers in the collection and use of user information, but also data processing activities that seriously affect national security, and it refuses to comply with the explicit requirements of the regulatory authorities, and maliciously evades the supervision.
No rules, no circles. The heavy punishment of Didi by the national regulatory authorities in accordance with the law is a powerful measure to effectively safeguard the national network security, data security and social public interests, a timely action to protect the legitimate rights and interests of users, and an inevitable requirement to standardize the platform economy and promote its healthy and orderly development.
For Internet enterprises, especially platform companies, this case has important warning significance. The development of enterprises should have innovative thinking and pioneering spirit, but should also strengthen the bottom line awareness, the concept of rule of law, take users as the center, do something and do nothing. The bottom line of national security should not be touched at any time. Neither Internet technology nor sharing new concepts can become an excuse for platform enterprises to steal user data and make profits in violation of regulations, nor can it become a tool to break the law and endanger national security and public security.
Legal operation and healthy development have always been the foundation of platform economy. Only by adhering to the principles of marketization and rule of law can the platform economy have a bright future. The majority of platform enterprises should take a warning, adhere to the equal importance of security and development, and on the basis of further strengthening network security, data security and personal information protection, strive to return to the source of serving the real economy and the people, better grasp the development law of the platform economy, and stimulate market vitality and scientific and technological innovation ability in the process of innovation. In this way, we can move steadily and further. (CCTV commentator)
