Six departments jointly launched a special rectification of network chaos in the automotive industry (involving network information in the medical and health field)
Recently, six departments including the State Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Health Commission jointly issued a notice, announcing the launch of a special rectification campaign for the automotive industry's network chaos, focusing on cracking down on illegal and irregular activities such as false propaganda, data fraud, and infringement of user privacy. It is worth noting that this rectification also specifically mentioned the chaos in network information related to the medical and health field, reflecting that the coordination of cross-industry supervision is being strengthened.
1. Remediation background and goals
With the rapid development of intelligent connected vehicles, the chaos in the industry is gradually emerging. Some car companies or platforms mislead consumers through false advertising and exaggerated publicity, and even illegally collect user health data (such as on-board health monitoring function). This special rectification aims to regulate market order, protect consumer rights, and especially privacy and security involving medical and health information.
2. Key rectification content
According to the requirements of the notice, the following behaviors will be investigated and dealt with:
| category | Specific questions | Areas involved |
|---|---|---|
| False propaganda | Exaggerate the functions of autonomous driving, range, etc. | Automotive Industry |
| Data security | Collect user health data in violation of regulations (such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc.) | Medical and health field |
| Privacy leak | Unauthorized sharing of user driving trajectories and biological information | Cross-industry |
| Illegal advertising | Promote unapproved "car medical equipment" | Medical and health field |
3. Analysis of hot spots in the entire network
In the past 10 days, hot topics related to this rectification have mainly focused on the following aspects:
| Ranking | Hot events | Discussion volume (10,000) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A car company was interviewed for health data breach | 125.6 |
| 2 | Rumors spread "automatic driving to death" | 98.3 |
| 3 | Controversy over compliance with on-board health monitoring function | 76.2 |
| 4 | Six departments' joint rectification action official announcement | 210.4 |
4. Industry impact and prospects
This action will have a profound impact on the automotive industry and related fields:
1.Car companies' compliance costs rise: It is necessary to strengthen data security management, especially functions involving health information;
2.Strengthening consumer rights: It is clearly prohibited to "over-collect" behavior, and users can trace data flow;
3.Cross-industry collaboration accelerates: The integration of medical health data and automotive scenarios will face stricter scrutiny.
Experts pointed out that as the combination of smart cars and health services becomes increasingly close, regulatory authorities may further refine classification standards in the future, such as clarifying the boundaries between "car-mounted medical equipment" and "health assistance functions" to avoid technology abuse.
5. Summary
The joint rectification of the six departments marks a new stage in my country's supervision of the cross-fields of emerging technologies. The automotive industry needs to find a balance between innovation and compliance, and the protection of healthcare data will become the focus of long-term attention. Consumers should also be vigilant to avoid being infringed on their rights by false propaganda or illegal data collection.
