摘要
《个人信息保护法》第70条之规定在个人信息保护民事公益诉讼的诉讼主体方面存在如下适用困境:现有法律虽将起诉主体界定为人民检察院、法律规定的消费者组织和由国家网信部门确定的组织三类,但主体范围不明、职能范围不分、起诉顺位不清的问题仍未得到解决.相应地,基于法律解释与制度供给进路,司法适用中明晰各起诉主体职能范围、理顺三类主体起诉顺位、拓宽法律规定的消费者组织的范围、明确"由国家网信部门确定的组织"的认定条件,可有效纾解个人信息保护民事公益诉讼起诉主体之适用困境.
Abstract
Article 70 of the'Personal Information Protection Law'delineates three categories of plain-tiffs eligible to initiate civil public interest litigation for personal information protection:people's procura-torates,legally mandated consumer organizations,and organizations designated by the national cyberspace administration.Despite this,challenges persist,including ambiguity in the scope of eligible plaintiffs,the delineation of their functions,and the order of prosecution.To address these issues,a legal interpre-tation and systemic approach is advocated.This involves clarifying the functional scope of each plaintiff category,affirming the supplementary status of the prosecutorial organ,refining the definition of'legal consumer organizations,'and specifying the criteria and conditions for'organizations designated by the national cyberspace administration.'Such measures are crucial for effectively resolving the application dilemmas associated with the plaintiff in civil public interest litigation for personal information protection.
