As there is growing concern that giant IT companies will lock in data such as product purchase history, the government needs a mechanism for individuals to control what information is provided to companies for the proper use of data. We have put together a draft report.
There is growing concern over giant IT companies such as Google and Amazon that are represented by "GAFA" that they may be enclosing data related to personal information such as searches, product purchase histories, and SNS transmissions.
For this reason, the government presented at a meeting of experts and others a draft report summarizing the direction that should be taken toward the proper use of data.
Among them, he said that it is necessary for individuals to have an ID that centrally manages their own information, a mechanism to decide how much to provide to the company, and a function to verify whether the company is using the data properly. ..
He also points out the need for a mechanism for a third party to ensure the reliability of the information sender's career, etc., in order to prevent the spread of false information on SNS, so-called "fake news."
The government hopes to further discuss the specific contents and issues of such a mechanism and aim to introduce it by 2030.
