Two men who could have been selling your location information to debt collectors (not that readers of The Nanjinger owe anyone anything, of course) have been up in court in Nanjing, receiving stiff penalties, in the very first case of its kind in China.
两名可能向收债人出售你的位置信息的男子(当然,这并不是说《南京人》的读者欠任何人任何东西)在南京上法庭,受到严厉处罚,这在中国尚属首例。
On 24 March, the Nanjing Gulou Court opened a public session to hear the first nationwide case as to violations of citizens’ parking-location data.
3月24日,南京鼓楼法院公开开庭审理全国首例侵犯公民停车位置信息案件。
It was determined therein that since June, 2020, the defendants had hacked into various online car-parking systems, such as “Prompt Park” (捷停车), and obtained real-time location information of users thereof. They then sold this on to a third party, surnamed Xie, who provided such information to debt-collector agencies.
其中认定,2020年6月以来,被告侵入“捷停车”等各类网上停车系统,获取其用户的实时位置信息。然后他们将这些信息卖给了谢姓第三方,后者将这些信息提供给收债机构。
It was also found that the defendants had in some cases installed GPS devices on vehicles owned by citizens whose locations were desired to be known by the debt-collector agencies.
还发现,在某些情况下,被告在公民拥有的车辆上安装了 GPS 设备,收债机构希望了解其位置。
Once of the defendants, surnamed Li, was captured last year by police, while the other, surnamed Huang, subsequently surrendered. The court trial found that through their actions, Huang had made illegal profits in excess of ¥1.13 million, while Li had earned himself over ¥240,000.
其中一名被告人李某去年被警方抓获,另一名被告人黄某随后投案自首。法院经审理查明,黄某通过其行为非法获利113万元以上,李某非法获利24万元以上。
The court held that the real-time locations and routes taken by citizens’ vehicles constitute information that can reflect and identify the activities of specific natural persons.
法院认为,公民车辆的实时位置、行驶路线构成能够反映、识别特定自然人活动情况的信息。
As a result, such information falls under criminal law in so far as it seeks to protect the interests of citizens as relating to their freedom of movement and personal safety.
因此,只要此类信息旨在保护公民的行动自由和人身安全利益,就属于刑法范畴。
Such therefore remain the personal information of citizens, as regional-media outlet, The Paper, reported on 24 March.
因此,据当地媒体《澎湃新闻》3 月 24 日报道,这些信息仍然是公民的个人信息。
Huang was sentenced to 4 years, 11 months imprisonment, with a fine of ¥1.2 million; while Li received jail time of 3 years, 3 months imprisonment, with a fine of ¥250,000. The case against Xie is being handled separately.
黄某被判处有期徒刑4年11个月,并处罚金120万元;李某被判处有期徒刑3年3个月,并处罚金人民币25万元。针对谢的案件正在单独审理。
