Research On The System Of Protecting Children’s Personal Information Online In China

While the advent of the digital age has brought more development opportunities for children,it has also exposed children to a range of new privacy risks such as increased privacy risks,loss of control over digital identities and algorithmic discrimination,and has had a profound impact on children’s future development,making it urgent for children’s personal information to be given special protection under the law.In our country,the Provisions on the Online Protection of Children’s Personal Information and the Personal Information Protection Act have built a basic framework for the legislation on the protection of children’s personal information.In addition,the Network Security Law,the Law on Protection of Minors and the administrative legislation include the provisions on the protection of children’s personal information network construct the basic framework of the legal system of children’s personal information protection.An online protection system for children’s personal information has been formed,which is represented by the children’s age identification and division mechanism,the children’s personal information supervision system and the children’s personal information protection supervision and accountability mechanism.However,through the investigation of the current legislative situation and basic system in our country,we can find that there are shortcomings in the design of the concrete system of children’s personal information network protection system,which leads to the children’s personal information protection system is difficult to operate smoothly.Specifically,it mainly includes: the lack of a feasible verification mechanism leads to doubts about the validity of the guardian consent system;the children’s age division standard is too simple and ignores the individual differences of children;there are problems in the supervision system such as the confusion of the supervision subject and the rigidity of the supervision model;and the supervision and accountability mechanism is not operable due to the lack of specific provisions.In view of this,this thesis will analyze the dilemma faced by Chinese children’s personal information protection and the shortcomings of the current system of children’s personal information protection,combined with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act,the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the UK’s Age Appropriate Design Code advanced system model and system setting in the,according to the actual situation of China,provides some suggestions on protecting children’s personal information.Specifically,it includes refining the specific rules of the guardian’s consent system to ensure the validity of the guardian’s consent;establishing a graded protection mechanism for children’s personal information by dividing multiple age groups of children and combining the information risk levels in different scenarios;improving the regulatory system by clarifying the subordination of regulatory bodies and innovating a multifaceted regulatory model;and clarifying the legal responsibilities of all parties to improve the supervision and accountability mechanism.The aim is to provide feasible suggestions for the improvement of China’s children’s personal information network protection system.
