The youth economy says that they can’t buy tickets and send express delivery if they don’t "brush their faces"?
Cut off the "black hand" reaching out to the face
"Face brushing" is becoming ubiquitous, undoubtedly bringing a lot of convenience to people, but in the absence of solid "insurance" for all kinds of data, people are closer to "running naked" in the information world.
"The biggest problem with face data leakage and abuse is that the harm caused is irreversible. Unlike passwords, face information cannot be reset."

The minimum face recognition video is 0.5 yuan/set, and the higher quality is 100 yuan/set. Among them, the news of higher quality that can be verified by most apps is scary.
The era of "face-brushing" has arrived, how should ordinary people protect their "face"?
A "competition battle" for face data is starting. On the one hand, many mobile Internet applications (Apps) are frantically "conquering cities" in areas such as face data. Many apps even adopt the "overlord" clause, such as not engaging in people. Facial recognition cannot send express delivery, submit resumes, go to the toilet, and even some companies install cameras to "steal" facial data...The other side is the strong appeal of the public for the protection of personal information such as facial information, and the continuous attack of the regulatory authorities. .
On April 23, the draft of the national standard of "Information Security Technology Face Recognition Data Security Requirements" began to solicit public opinions from the public, proposing that facial recognition must obtain express consent and must not be used to predict personal economic conditions.
In addition, on May 1 this year, the "Regulations on the Scope of Necessary Personal Information for Common Types of Mobile Internet Applications" will also be formally implemented.
It clarifies that App operators shall not refuse users to use basic App functions and services because users do not agree to collect non-essential personal information.
Wang Chunhui, a member of the Information and Communication Economics Expert Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, dean of the Digital Economy Research Institute of the United Nations World Silk Road Forum, and a professor at Zhejiang University, said that the scope of necessary personal information was drawn to fill the gap in the field of face recognition applications.
This time, can the "black hand" that is constantly reaching for the "human face" be cut off?
You can't buy tickets or send express delivery without "brushing your face"
"Do I need my face information to log in?" On March 28, Sun Bin (pseudonym) from Beijing used his ID number and other information to log in to an airline's official ticketing app that he had been using to buy tickets, but said The account is at risk and needs to be authenticated.
Sun Bin verified through the "UnionPay Verification" provided by the App, but was told that "this verification method is temporarily not supported".
Sun Bin said, "This only way is useless."
Later, Sun Bin called the airline, and the customer service told him that the system determined that the security level of the account was too low and "frozen" his account, stating that "this is for the sake of your account safety."
The only way to "unfreeze" is to complete face recognition.
Sun Bin said that this is obviously a forced "face brushing."
Just like Sun Bin's experience, Gao Mingming (a pseudonym) was also forced to "brush his face."
When she used the express cabinet to send the shipment, she was told: According to the requirements of the express delivery regulations, the identity of the shipment needs to be verified, and the only verification method is face recognition.
Before placing the order, she has passed the real-name authentication on the official WeChat public account.
The “Interim Regulations on Express Delivery” that came into effect on May 1, 2018 stipulate the receipt and delivery of express delivery under real names. When receiving and sending express delivery, the identity of the sender should be checked and the identity information should be registered. The sender refuses to provide identity information or provide If the identity information is false, the enterprise operating the express delivery service shall not accept or post it.
Among them, there is no clear regulation on whether to use face recognition.
Wang Yuwei, a partner of Beijing Guantao Zhongmao Law Firm, said that sending express delivery does not meet the necessity of collecting facial information. The requirement for facial recognition here is the pretext of identity verification.
Face information is not that it can’t be used to verify the identity of express delivery. The problem is that it should not be the only means, and consumers should be given the right to choose.
Currently, community security and smart retail are the hardest hit areas for face recognition security risks.
In Wang Yuwei's view, the security risk of face recognition is mainly due to excessive applications.
"The most worrying thing is that I don't know where this information has been leaked, and it may even be overseas."
Grasp a person's consumption habits through a face
"Face brushing" is becoming ubiquitous, undoubtedly bringing a lot of convenience to people, but in the absence of solid "insurance" for all kinds of data, people are closer to "running naked" in the information world.
In addition, the information acquisition of various apps ranges from personal locations to photos, and then from address books to people's "face" information. The speed of mining personal information is continuously increasing, and the depth is also increasing.
"Behind the face information is a person's address, preferences and consumption habits, etc., mastering this'face', you can master a person's various habits." Wang Chunhui said that many apps continue to be deployed in the field of face recognition , Is to facilitate the targeted "portrait" of users, so as to accurately locate and market, and achieve greater commercial value.
In fact, the face recognition-related industries are constantly developing and growing.
According to the "2019 Computer Vision Face Recognition Market Research Report" released by Yiou Think Tank, the size of China's computer vision face recognition market in 2018 was 15.17 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 53 billion yuan this year.
However, risk issues related to face recognition are becoming more and more prominent, such as personal information leakage and abuse.
Some companies have leaked sensitive personal information such as facial information and whereabouts due to factors such as inadequate management, irregular application methods, and inadequate security assurance technologies.
The collection and sale of personal information such as faces has even formed a mature black industry chain.
Recently, on some social platforms and websites, many sellers have clearly marked the price of face recognition videos at 100 yuan per set, including photos of the front and back of ID cards, photos of holding ID cards, nodding, shaking their heads, and many other videos.
In addition, the seller also packs a ticket to claim that the verification video sold can pass most of the App platform verification process.
According to media reports, individual sellers revealed that most of the ID photos on the market today were leaked during the brutal development of microfinance platforms and companies; some were collected in the name of face recognition technology development and system testing in various industries. Come.
Among them, there are many face recognition videos forged through technology.
Wang Chunhui observed that face recognition technology is constantly evolving, and related "forgery technologies" are also constantly iterating.
Some people can even use ID photos to simulate the actions of opening their mouths and blinking eyes that are required for face recognition, and they can even fool many face recognition platforms with low technical levels.
"The core reason why information is forged is that the face recognition technology of individual companies is not good enough." Wang Yuwei said that if a company's core algorithm is strong enough, the difficulty of forgery is very high, and the power of forgery is also very low.
Currently, there are many face recognition technology providers, but the level is uneven, and some companies are unable to support the security of face data.
According to the company's data, there are currently 7,404 face recognition-related companies in my country, and the number of related company registrations has exceeded 1,000 for three consecutive years.
In recent years, various face recognition systems have also emerged one after another. According to statistics, there are currently 13,700 patents related to face recognition in my country.
Wang Yuwei also observed that the current face recognition market is fiercely competitive. In order to compete for market share, many companies sell face recognition technology or equipment at low prices. The industry has even started a "price war" to a certain extent.
Wang Yuwei said that in this case, face recognition technology is difficult to realize, and some companies focus on the possibility of profitability on data. "Many companies just want to get face data."
Supervision gradually enters the "deep water zone"
Face data is very special and sensitive, and supervision is urgent.
Wang Yuwei said, “The biggest problem with face data leakage and abuse is that the harm caused is irreversible. Unlike passwords, face information cannot be reset.”
In fact, supervision has also been working hard.
For example, the recently released "Regulations on the Scope of Necessary Personal Information for Common Types of Mobile Internet Applications" clarified the scope of necessary personal information for 39 common types of apps.
"Now that supervision has taken a big step, it has gradually entered the'deep water zone'." Wang Yuwei said, here are detailed regulations on the personal information that can be collected by each type of App, the industry's scale is clearer, and the efficiency of supervision will also be greater. High, which also means that the ability to protect face information security may be greatly improved.
At the same time, some regions have also begun to introduce relevant regulations, clarifying that property owners must not force owners to perform face recognition.
A few days ago, the Sichuan Province Property Management Regulations (Revised Draft) (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”), which was discussed and approved at the 64th Executive Meeting of the Sichuan Provincial People’s Government and submitted to the 26th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Sichuan Provincial People’s Congress for deliberation (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”), clarified that The service person shall not force the owner to use the shared facilities and equipment through fingerprints, face recognition and other biological information methods.
While giving the owner the right to choose, it also protects the owner's privacy.
At present, after face data is leaked and abused, it is still very difficult for ordinary people to defend their rights.
In April this year, the much-watched "face recognition first case" ushered in the final judgment.
The defendant Hangzhou Wildlife World was sentenced to delete the facial feature information including photos and fingerprint identification information submitted by the plaintiff Guo Bing when he applied for the annual fingerprint card, and the execution was completed within ten days from the effective date of the judgment.
In an interview with CCTV, the party concerned Guo Bing said that the low benefits of litigation, the lack of motivation for people to defend their rights, the low cost of violations, and insufficient punishment are the reasons for the frequent abuse of facial recognition.
What should I do if personal information security is violated?
Guo Bing suggested that relevant organizations can file public interest litigation, which will have some advantages over individual proof.
Wang Chunhui suggested that the scope of personally necessary information used by the App should be included in the legal scope and be given a higher legal level, such as the "Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft)".
Wang Yuwei also said that the development of face recognition technology is changing with each passing day, and new problems are emerging one after another. He suggested that the relevant laws of face recognition should be effectively connected with the national standards and industry standards related to face recognition, so as to keep pace with the times and be more operability Stronger.
At the same time, Wang Chunhui also suggested that penalties for illegal acquisition and provision of personal information should be increased.
In addition, broaden the way for consumers to protect their rights. Once infringements occur, consumers can report and report to the regulatory authorities as soon as possible.
On the enterprise side, it is also necessary to increase the intensity of pre-approval and supervision.
Wang Yuwei said that we can learn from the administrative approval model and conduct qualification audits for companies that provide underlying technical support for face recognition. They must achieve the corresponding security capabilities and obtain the corresponding qualification certification before they can engage in related technologies.
At the same time, more detailed regulations should be made for subsequent facial data information storage.
Wang Yuwei said, for example, the original picture of the face is not stored, and the data storage period is stipulated.
At present, my country's face recognition technology is at the forefront of the world.
Wang Yuwei said that in the face of emerging problems, the protection of face data security cannot be overstated, but supervision cannot be “one size fits all”, and certain development space must be given to the industry.
How to manage and manage well is still an examination question facing the regulatory authorities.
