New Challenges Posed by Robots to China’s Civil Code in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), robots have profoundly impacted our life and work, and have challenged our civil legal system. In the course of AI development, robots need to be designed to protect our personal privacy, data privacy, intellectual property rights, and tort liability identification and determination. In addition, China needs an updated Civil Code in line with the growth of AI. All measures should aim to address AI challenges and also to provide the needed institutional space for the development of AI and other emerging technologies.

Why Cryptocurrencies Want Privacy: A Review of Political Motivations and Branding Expressed in “Privacy Coin” Whitepapers

New currencies designed for user anonymity and privacy – widely referred to as “privacy coins” – have forced governments to listen and legislate, but the political motivations of these currencies are not well understood. Following the growing interest of political brands in different contexts, we provide the first systematic review of political motivations expressed in cryptocurrency whitepapers whose explicit goal is “privacy.” Many privacy coins deliberately position themselves as alternative political brands. Although cryptocurrencies are often closely associated with political philosophies that aim to diminish or subvert the power of governments and banks, advocates of privacy occupy much broader ideological ground. We present thematic trends within the privacy coin literature and identify epistemic and ethical tensions present within the communities of people calling for the adoption of entirely private currencies.     

隐私权及其刑法保护

关于婚检中知情权与隐私权的思考

在我国,拟缔结婚姻关系的男女双方当事人必须接受婚检,这是新<婚姻登记条例>实施前的通例.而条例实施后,婚检在实践中由必选变为自选.但无论从法理还是从社会伦理的角度看,强制婚检都是必要的.首先,要求婚检正是<条例>有关条文的题中之义,同时,<条例>无权擅自改变其上位法所规定的强制婚检义务;其次,当知情权与隐私权发生冲突时,应以社会利益的最大化为原则,强调知情权而淡化隐私权.     

A Potential Framework For Privacy? A Reply To Hello!

In Douglas v Hello! Ltd (No 3) , the Court of Appeal noted that one ramification of 'shoehorning' invasions of privacy into the cause of action of breach of confidence is that 'it does not fall to be treated as a tort under English law'. In contrast, this article contends that English courts should explicitly recognise and develop a framework for a tort of privacy, and outlines one possible version—comprising both privacy interests and the elements of the potential tort. The framework draws upon longstanding Canadian and United States jurisprudence, as well as recent fascinating Australasian decisions that have grappled with privacy claims. In reality, breach of confidence is becoming an unrecognizable cousin of the creature which Megarry J described in Coco v AN Clark (Engineers) Ltd in 1969. If, however, it is to be buttressed by a judicially-created tort of privacy, then that tort's elements must be capable of being feasibly articulated and applied.

隐私权作为现代社会公民的一项基本权利，随着公民权利意识的日益增强，越来越受到人们的重视，然而，伴随行政权的不断扩张，人们发现对于公民隐私权的最大侵害是来自行政权的违法或不当行使，因此，建构隐私权行政法律保护体系，规范行政权力运行成为当前亟待解决的法律问题。文章就隐私权行政法律制度保护的理论基础作了有益探讨。

从王菲案看我国隐私权保护范围的扩展与保护方式的发展

对隐私权的尊重及其所保护的各种具体隐私利益的认定,越来越呈现出逐步扩大、日渐精细的特点,体现了我国司法机关在隐私权保护的理念与技术上的不断进步。在侵犯隐私时,不可避免地会造成当事人的社会评价降低,名誉受损的情形,属于同一侵害行为,引起多个损害后果的问题,而非独立的侵权行为。只有在披露隐私事实时,同时发表侮辱、诽谤性言论,导致当事人名誉损害的情形,才有必要在承认侵害隐私权的同时也承认侵害名誉权。     

论我国基因隐私保护的立法模式选择

基因科技的发展激发了一种新的隐私保护需要——基因隐私.学界在对基因隐私法律保护的必要性达成一致后,对具体的法律保护进路存有争议.通过梳理基因隐私综合立法和单独立法两种保护模式的学理论证、立法实践及立法背景,根据我国实际,可以认为,我国现阶段应当采取以小综合立法模式为主,辅以行业自律机制,并在条件成熟时,向单独立法的保护进路发展.
