[Legal Network Affairs] Purify the Internet ecology and crack down on fraudulent marketing behaviors such as live streaming to sell misery Zhou Jiahai | Big Data | Fraud
Guangming.com News: Zhou Jiahai, director of the Research Office of the Supreme People's Court and a first-level senior judge, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office recently that in recent years, the people's courts have tried new types of cases such as "big data killing old customers", platforms forcing "two choices", interfering with search engine rankings, and creating false traffic to ensure fair competition in the network environment, and simultaneously strengthen front-end governance to guide and regulate the healthy development of Internet platforms. For example, for fraudulent marketing such as live streaming, the relevant courts sent judicial suggestions to platform companies to promote the purification of the network ecology.
Zhou Jiahai said that scientific and technological innovation results are often presented in the form of intellectual achievements. The people's courts encourage the innovative development of cutting-edge technology and future industries by hearing cases involving high-tech fields such as algorithms, biotechnology, and quantum technology.
For example, in the "Navigation Electronic Map Case", the relevant court made it clear that the navigation maps commonly used in mobile phones constitute works and are protected by the Copyright Law in accordance with the law. For another example, in the "Big Data Tracking System Case", the relevant court determined that algorithm technology is an intellectual product of the labor of the right holder and should be protected as a trade secret. The judgments of these cases have effectively promoted the innovative development of new technologies.
In terms of stimulating the vitality of new production factors, he said that the people's courts, through hearing relevant cases, have legally and prudently balanced the legitimate rights and interests of all links and participants in data production, processing, circulation, etc., and strived to maximize the efficiency of data, a new production factor.
For example, regarding the behavior of crawling platform data, the People's Court has made it clear through relevant cases that using technical means to crawl data from Internet platforms without permission and using it to substantially replace the products or services provided by the original platform constitutes unfair competition. The establishment of relevant adjudication rules will help to safeguard and promote the high-quality and healthy development of the digital economy.
In addition, the people's courts are also constantly exploring and promoting the deep integration of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain with judicial work, and striving to promote the modernization of trial work with new quality productivity.
It is reported that the people's courts are currently stepping up the construction of digital courts, striving to achieve the goal of more than 3,500 courts across the country being able to handle cases and work on "one network" by the end of this year, promoting further improvement in the quality and efficiency of trial work and litigation services, and striving to support and serve Chinese-style modernization with the modernization of trial work.
