    Due to the uncertainty of data ownership, the consent rule under the framework of private law autonomy is not sufficient to adjudicate the legitimacy of data grasping behavior. A feasible idea is to take personal information data as an entry point and combine it with the right to portability system to adjust the conflicts of interests among the major subjects. Introducing the idea of the right to portability into the adjudication of unfair competition disputes can realize the integration of the norms of the anti-unfair competition law in terms of legal interpretation, and jointly safeguard the rights and interests of consumers and fair competition. Based on this, for non-personal information data, the consent of the user alone cannot have the effect of blocking the illegality of data grasping; as for the personal information data for which the user enjoys the right to portability in accordance with the law, the user can authorize the third party to access the data by means of consent under the premise of satisfying the conditions for exercising the right, thus blocking the illegality of the third party’s act. In applying the idea of portability, the court should still pay attention to whether the user’s consent has been obtained in an improper manner, such as through deception, misinformation or coercion, to ensure its validity and voluntariness, and at the same time weigh the consequences of the transfer of the personal information data in question, so as to avoid adverse effects on the rights and freedoms of others.

    Research on the Connection Mechanism between Civil Public Interest Litigation and Administrative Law Enforcement in Anti-Monopoly Prosecutors

    The establishment of a procuratorial civil public interest litigation system to compensate for the insufficient public and private implementations of China’s current anti-monopoly law is a major highlight of the revision of the anti-monopoly law in 2022, which is in line with the legislative goal of safeguarding consumer interests and social public interests under the anti-monopoly law. It is also an important manifestation of China’s procuratorial organs exercising legal supervision and public interest maintenance functions. However, the newly established anti-monopoly procuratorial civil public interest litigation system in China has suchproblems as unclear nature positioning, simpler legal provisions design, and lack of operability in procedures, especially the positioning and connection between civil public interest litigation and administrative law enforcement, which directly affects the correct implementation of the system. By reviewing the legal and economic theories of civil public interest litigation in anti-monopoly prosecution, this paper analyzes the practical difficulties in the implementation of China’s anti-monopoly prosecution civil public interest litigation system. The findings show that the anti-monopoly prosecution civil public interest litigation system needs to be restructured from two aspects: the substantive law and the procedural law. Only by rationally designing a connection mechanism between the anti-monopoly prosecution civil public interest litigation and the anti-monopoly administrative law enforcement,canwe fully leverage the supervisory function of the civil public interest litigation by prosecutors, improve law enforcement efficiency, save judicial resources, and ensure the systematic and coordinated implementation of the anti-monopoly law on the basis of respecting the basic laws of anti-monopoly administrative law enforcement. Through the integration of the two laws,the characteristics of balancing public interest and private interest in civil public interest litigation of anti-monopoly prosecution can be further reflected, so as to reach the goal of compensating for the losses of individual subjects and safeguarding consumer welfare and social public interests.
