Protection of Facial Recognition Information in Network Storage Under the Criminal Law
Facial recognition information serves as a tangible manifestation of one's digital identity and fulfills a multitude of social functions.In emerging application scenarios such as the metaverse and cloud storage,the necessity of strengthening protection of facial recognition information is becoming increasingly prominent.The network storage plays a pivotal role in fixing and saving facial recognition information,providing important support for subsequent processing stages.If a network service provider illegally stores facial recognition information of users,neglects its obligations in information network security management,and refuses to take corrective measures as ordered by regulatory authorities,resulting in user information leakage and serious consequences,it may face penalties for failing to uphold its obligations in information network security management.In judicial application,the scope of protection for facial recognition information in network storage can be delineated from two angles:the precise obligations in information network security management and the criteria for determining"causing user information leakage and serious consequences".When defining the content of obligations in information network security management,it is advisable to scrutinize the robustness of the information storage security management system and whether network service providers have effectively implemented standardized procedures for addressing user requests.The volume of information involved in such cases should adhere to the protection standards stipulated for highly sensitive personal information.
