According to Netease Finance, 58 Group collects a large number of personal information of job-seeking students under the guise of recruitment, and sells their resumes to training institutions at high prices, and then the training institutions contact student groups to sell courses and convert customers, and 58 Group collects commissions from them.
Among the resumes of college graduates sold by 58 Group, the price of a single resume ranges from 30 to 2,000 yuan, among which the price of a doctoral resume is as high as 1.500 yuan/copy.
In this way, 58 Group earned more than 2 million yuan a year, and nearly 20 companies cooperated with it to buy resumes.
Whether this matter is true or not is still unknown, but if it is true, then this platform is a real punishment.
First, enterprises may bear criminal responsibility.
Judging from the information currently exposed, if this matter is true, 58 Group is suspected of violating the provisions of the Personal Information Protection Law, the Civil Code, the Measures for the Administration of Internet Information Services and other laws and regulations, and infringing on users' personal information rights and interests. Both the platform and the enterprise may face corresponding legal responsibilities. In addition to the user can file a lawsuit, the platform may also face public interest litigation filed by the people's procuratorate and relevant consumer organizations, because this case is suspected of infringing on a number of personal rights and interests.
Article 253 of the Criminal Law stipulates the crime of infringing citizens' personal information. Whoever, in violation of the relevant provisions of the state, sells or provides personal information of citizens to others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and shall also or only be fined; If the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.
Reselling graduates' resumes may constitute "illegal collection, use, processing and transmission of other people's personal information" and "illegal trading, provision or disclosure of other people's personal information" as stipulated in Article 10 of the Personal Information Protection Law, which violates the principle of legality, informed consent and other personal information protection obligations. Enterprises will face a fine of up to 50 million yuan or 5% of the previous year's turnover, suspend or terminate the provision of services, suspend related businesses or suspend business for rectification, and revoke relevant business licenses or business licenses.
Anyone who violates the personal insurance law and causes damage and cannot prove that he is innocent shall bear civil tort liability such as damages. In addition to the fact that individuals can file lawsuits, the platform may also face public interest lawsuits filed by people's procuratorates and relevant consumer organizations, because this case is suspected of infringing on the rights and interests of many individuals.
To sum up, related enterprises may face criminal responsibility, administrative punishment and civil compensation.
Although the criminal law, personal information protection law and other relevant national laws and regulations have legally protected personal information and other privacy, the trend of personal information disclosure and trafficking of job seekers in reality is still difficult to control.
After submitting their resumes, job seekers receive all kinds of sales calls, either from the talent platform or the HR of enterprises. Even some talent recruitment platforms, relying on the personal information of thousands of Qian Qian job seekers registered on their own platforms, openly promise enterprises that they can achieve the most comprehensive and authentic personal employment in the industry.
For job seekers, resumes are their stepping stone and proof of their future life. However, 58 Group leaked students' personal information to training institutions and individuals by reselling resumes, which not only harmed the interests of job seekers, but also affected the order of the whole job market. We call on relevant departments to strengthen supervision and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of job seekers!
Second, personal privacy protection, what else can we do in life?
1. Restrict the APP from obtaining more rights.
When we first downloaded the APP, we often received many authorization requests. If you don't look carefully, you can click OK next, which will easily lead to excessive exposure of personal information. Usually, the authorization rights of the APP include: forbidden, always allowed, and only allowed during use.
It is recommended that friends open relevant authorization according to their actual use needs. If you need to change the authorization management, you can adjust the APP permissions in the phone settings.
2. avoid using the cottage APP.
Many shanzhai or improper apps have problems such as stealing personal information and online fraud. It is suggested that friends download software through formal channels, avoiding downloading through network search or third-party external links; For unfamiliar apps, it is best to understand and screen in advance to prevent falling into the trap.
3. Submit information carefully when registering and logging in.
App usually collects user's information when users register or log in for the first time, such as account name, name, home address, contact information, email address, etc. Even some apps need to bind ID cards and bank cards. Once the authorization of these personally identifiable information is leaked, it is easy to be targeted.
Advise friends not to use the most authentic personal information (such as name, date of birth, etc.). ) to register and log in. If you need to fill in personal real information, be sure that the App is true and reliable.
