电子商务法中删除权的法经济学分析

大数据时代的到来使得企业、团体、个人都可能获取他人信息,而当代互联网的特性——海量的数据信息、快捷的计算速度以及巨大的储存空间使大数据时代的个人信息保护问题尤为重要。国内外关于删除权的相关法律文本和司法实践已经有较多讨论展开,而从大国博弈、消费者选择和厂商行为三个视角对2019年电子商务法中有关删除权的合理性和前沿性做进一步探讨后,可开启另一认知路径。以法经济学理论和经济学原理进行论证分析后发现,我国需要专门的“个人信息保护法”以确立删除权,而鉴于立法成本和紧迫性,可暂通过完善司法的方式,实现保护公民个人信息的目的。

An Analysis of the Right to Erasure in the E-Commerce Law from the Perspective of Law and Economics

The arrival of the era of big data makes it possible for enterprises,groups,and individuals to obtain others’information.However,the characteristics of the modern Internet–massive amounts of data informa⁃tion,fast computation speed,and huge storage space—make the issue on personal information protection in the era of big data particularly important.There have been many discussions on relevant legal texts and judicial practices of the right to erasure at home and abroad.After further discussion on the legitimacy and frontier of the right to erasure in the E-commerce law in 2019 from the perspectives of superpower games,consumer choic⁃es,and manufacturer behaviors,another cognitive path can be opened.After the demonstration and analysis through the theories of law and economics and the principles of economics,it is found that China needs a spe⁃cial“Act on the Protection of Personal Information”to establish the right to erasure,and in view of the cost and urgency of legislation,we can temporarily protect the right through improvement of judicial means.
