This is the Digital Era that almost all the information and data has beentransferred into the figure of “Zero” and “One”, spreading substantially evenexplosively to every corner of the world because of the powerful InformationHighway. We can now readily capture information and images wherever we go, andwe can then share them with the entire planet at the click of a mouse. Nonetheless,as a coin has two sides, the Internet presents us so many feasts as well as brings tous a great deal of nightmare. In the process of pursuing equity and justice or pryinginto private life of others, the Internet has been used as a sharp blade to pierce theveil of individual’s personal life. As the social life has its own border, so does theworld of the Internet. Therefore, the virtual network cannot go contrary to the publicorder and good custom, and it is the government’s duty to be responsible to iron outthe relevant headaches and put the development of network and social life in order,thus further purifying the network environment for citizens.This thesis focuses on analyzing the concept of Privacy, Online Privacy (whichincludes three parts: individual information, individual activities online andindividual cyber space), the Right of Privacy for Network and the characteristics ofit. As the famous American writer, Leonard Huxley put it,“experience is not whathappens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him”. Based on thetheories and then explore and dig more in practical problems will assist us withbuilding up a reasonable framework of solutions to deal with the problem. Hence,after making it clearly of the concepts, the government should tackle the tricky issues bring about by the business institutions, the individual citizen as well as thegovernment itself in the approach of perfecting the relevant system of legislation andlaw-enforcement. Moreover,“advice form others may help one overcome one’sshortcomings”, the thesis focuses on the relevant law system in the United States,trying to figure out the experience and lessons we can learn to further perfecting thesystem of our own.
