Risk Prevention of Web Crawling Technology from the Criminal Compliance Perspective
As a data capture tool,web crawling technology has special advantages in promoting companies'digitalized development.However,based on the two-sided nature of technology,the malicious application might cause a lot of hidden dangers for personal infor-mation security,intellectual property rights and order of cyberspace,causing more unit crimes.In the judicial practice in China,the as-sessment for the legal regulation of this technology is unsystematic and tends to expand.These dilemmas easily cause the problem that to process one case might destroy a company and cause many staff unemployed,which is incompatible with the policy to protect non-state-operated economy development in China.For that,it is recommended to emphasis risk prevention rather than fighting crimes punitively.Therefore,it's the best choice to introduce criminal compliance to management of web crawling crimes.Companies should precisely iden-tify the criminal risks and construct the corresponding compliance rules based on the characteristics of crawling technology.
