Extended information

Effective June 1, 2017, the judicial interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on severely punishing the crime of infringement of citizens’ personal information has been implemented. "Sell or provide to others personal information of citizens obtained during the course of performing duties or providing services." If the quantity or amount reaches half of the legal limit, you can be convicted. Similar cases will be severely punished, which reflects the determination to crack down on the source of such crimes and deeply investigate the "insiders" .

According to the judicial interpretation, 50 pieces of highly sensitive information such as trajectory information, communication content, and property information, 500 pieces of health and physiological information, transaction information, and 5,000 other pieces of information were illegally obtained, sold, or provided; the illegal gains were 5,000 yuan. More than RMB 100,000 constitutes a crime. At the same time, it is made clear that insiders will be severely punished.

Conditions for the crime of intimidation:

(1) The legal interest infringed by this crime is the peace of daily life of an individual and the freedom to live safely without being intimidated by others.

(2) The object of this crime is a single natural person.

(3) The act of this crime is intimidation, that is, notifying others of harming their life, body, freedom, reputation, property, etc., to create fear in them. The content of harm is limited to harm to life, body, freedom, reputation, property and other matters.

As long as the perpetrator objectively informs others of the harm, it is sufficient, regardless of whether the perpetrator has the subjective intention to realize the harm. The evil harm notified by the perpetrator must be within the control of the perpetrator, and objectively, the general public believes that it is sufficient to cause harm.

The act of intimidation must be in a direct or definite indirect manner, excluding uncertain indirect methods. The so-called definite indirect means that although the perpetrator does not directly threaten the victim, he informs a specific person of the fact of the threat and expressly informs the victim.

(4) The perpetrator's threatening behavior, once completed, can make the victim fearful, which can constitute this crime, without the threat of the perpetrator becoming a fact.
