new technologies continue to spawn new products, new models, and new business formats. At the same time, some apps infringe user rights and interests are also emerging, and rectification of illegal apps is a top priority. At the recent national APP personal information protection supervision meeting, Lu Chuncong, deputy director of the Information and Communication Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that the technical testing of 440,000 APPs with a high usage rate of domestic users has been completed, and ordered 1336 violations. APP carried out rectification, publicly notified 377 apps that were not rectified, and removed 94 apps that refused to be rectified.
Responsibility is not in place
Lu Chuncong said frankly that during the special rectification action, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology targeted Alibaba, Sina, ByteDance, Tencent, Baidu, NetEase, Xiaomi and other enterprise users with large downloads and high usage rates. After key inspections and requirements were made, most companies completed rectification on time. However, some companies still have problems after several rectifications. Some of 's head enterprise apps have problems such as ideological disregard, fluke psychology, and even technical confrontation in the rectification of personal information protection.
"Some companies can’t find the management or the management shirk each other. At present, 120 companies’ APP problems have repeatedly appeared more than twice. For example, Sina Sports, a subsidiary of Sina, has a problem of illegal collection of personal information. , Still found the same problem.” Lu Chuncong said.
The main responsibility of some application distribution platforms is not in place. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of conducted random tests on the apps on the eight major distribution platforms, including Baidu, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, etc., and found that there were problems such as lack of main responsibility, inadequate information disclosure, and inducing users to download.
"Some companies have repeated problems with multiple product lines, reflecting that the company has not formed a red line awareness of user personal information protection and has not established a complete management mechanism. There are also companies that are unwilling to cooperate with the rectification because the rectification will affect the income. All need the attention of the top leaders of the enterprise to solve it. " said Liu Liehong.
It is reported that the special rectification action for APP infringement of user rights and interests will be extended to mid-2021. The three major problems of
are more prominent
In the nine consecutive batches of centralized inspections carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before, three problems including collection of personal information in violation of regulations, use of personal information in violation of regulations, and mandatory claims for rights were prominent, accounting for 32% and 20% respectively. ,twenty one%. Another phenomenon of
is that a large number of third-party distribution platforms tamper with genuine APPs and add SDK for illegal information collection and then perform secondary packaging, resulting in the theft of user privacy and theft of bank card funds.

"APP personal information protection is facing two challenges." Lu Chuncong said that
is the challenge of business model change. The profit model of my country's Internet industry has shifted from online advertising to targeted push and precision marketing based on big data. The cost of corporate violations is low, personal information protection capabilities are uneven, and violations of user rights and interests occur from time to time. Gray and black products are also accelerating the collection and use of illegal personal information and even illegal trading of personal information.
Another challenge is the frequent iteration of APP version. 's huge number of apps and rich application scenarios require increased supervision and inspection and technical testing capabilities. According to reports, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has been actively promoting the construction of a national APP technology testing platform, strengthening the docking with the application distribution market, and further enhancing the breadth and depth of platform automated testing.
