Criminalization of the Misuse of Facial Recognition Information
Given the lack of specific norms in China's current criminal law against the abuse of facial recognition information,in criminal cases involving the use of facial recognition information,courts can only punish upstream and downstream acts of using such information,but cannot independently punish midstream acts of such abuse.Therefore,there is a need to insert a new paragraph respec-tively following the First Paragraph(regarding fraudulent use of identity documents)of Article 280a and following the Third Paragraph(regarding forgery,alteration,or purchase of identity documents)of Article 280 of the Criminal Law.As such,"facial recognition infor-mation or any other personal identification information"is defined as a special type of"identity documents".
