The recent notice issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on strengthening and verifying website registration has attracted the attention of the media and the industry. To be precise, the most concerned ones are IDC and webmasters. To be precise, this is related to their jobs and hobbies.
According to the requirements of the notice, the person in charge of the website needs to bring the original documents and materials required for verification to the registration site of the access service unit to go through the verification procedures. The access service unit must collect and retain a color, front-view, bareheaded photo of the person in charge of the website at the registration site. The registration center will uniformly produce and provide a curtain with logo as the background for taking photos. The photo should show the time of taking and the background logo.
At present, the Fujian Provincial Communications Administration Bureau and the Guangdong Provincial Communications Administration Bureau have issued the above notice, and Internet access providers in other regions have not yet received the notice.
The notice stipulates that website registration requires operators and webmasters to personally go to the verification site set up by the access provider to take photos and verify it, which has aroused heated discussion and attention from computer rooms and webmasters in various places. Some representatives believe that it is difficult to implement this notice.
According to the requirements of the notice, each access service unit should set up an on-site verification website registration information department before the end of February 2010, specifically responsible for verifying the authenticity of website registration information.
A computer owner said that the notice was announced on the official website around the 22nd, and there are currently less than three working days until the end of February, so time is very tight. And the computer rooms in other provinces and cities have not yet received relevant notices. It is not yet known whether this notice will be implemented nationwide. This is one of the difficulties in execution. Time is tight and preparations are very hasty.
Secondly, information collection has also caused concerns among webmasters.
According to the notice, the computer rooms in various places collect and retain color front-view bareheaded photos (electronic photo specifications: 800×600 pixels) of the person in charge of the website at the registration site of the unit. The registration center will uniformly produce and provide a curtain with logo as the background for taking photos. The photo should show the time of taking and the background logo.
At the same time, the registration personnel of the access service unit use information sources such as resident ID cards, organization code certificates, and industrial and commercial business licenses provided by the public security, quality inspection, industry and commerce and other relevant departments to verify the authenticity of the original documents provided by the website sponsor. At the same time, verify whether the ID card is consistent with the person in charge through the original ID card of the person in charge of the website. Verify that there is no error, and keep a copy of the identity certificate and the valid certificate of the unit.
Website owners need to submit their photo information to IDC for collection, and then IDC uses information sources such as resident ID cards, organization code certificates, and industrial and commercial business licenses provided by public security, quality inspection, industry and commerce and other relevant departments to verify the original documents provided by the website sponsor. authenticity. This has triggered further concerns among webmasters. How does IDC obtain personal information from the above-mentioned government departments?
As we all know, there are strict regulations on the collection of citizen information. Most people are quite confident about government departments collecting information, but access providers such as IDC are commercial enterprises and cannot guarantee that citizens’ information will not be leaked and used.
Third, verifying identity information requires physical presence, causing controversy.
The Internet has won the joy of many netizens with its borderless and non-regional nature. According to the requirements of the notice, the website owner must be present in person to take photos and collect information, which is too difficult to implement.
The current number of domain names in China has reached 16.82 million, which means that behind this, at least more than one million website owners will personally go to the website IDC computer room to collect information. In addition, the website owner and the IDC are not all located in the same province. Who will bear the transportation expenses and lost work expenses incurred during this period?
For example, a certain webmaster opened a website in Heilongjiang, but his IDC computer room was applied for in Fujian. According to the notice, the webmaster needs to go to Fujian from Heilongjiang to verify his identity. Who is responsible for travel expenses, lost time expenses, etc.?
This is something that only webmasters with a certain scale of business, sustained income and development prospects will do. What about those webmasters who register domain names just for fun? They will do it for an idle domain name or if they do not make money themselves. Did the website go all the way to Fujian?
This will inevitably lead to the elimination of small websites due to high registration costs. At the same time, related industries such as Xinwang, Wanwang, and local computer rooms will also face serious shrinkage. China’s grassroots Internet industry can basically say goodbye.
