CTOnews.com, June 19 (Xinhua) according to Japan's Sankei Shimbun, the revised Japan Telecom Business Law came into effect on June 16, and the new rules require search engines and social networking sites not to illegally disclose users' browsing history or Cookie to outside parties, so as to prevent users from providing information to the outside world without their knowledge.

The ▲ image source PixabayCookie is usually sent by the website operator to the advertising company to display ads that meet the user's preferences. However, some users believe that these companies are monitoring their browsing behavior. Therefore, the revised law requires website operators to ensure users' right to know, publicly disclose the names of operators who receive users' information and the purpose of using the information, and give users the right to refuse to share Cookie.

The revised law also requires large Internet companies to formulate internal rules on the processing of user information and designate responsible persons. If the browsing history is provided to the outside without notifying the user, or if the person in charge of the information processing is not appointed, the company concerned can be fined up to 2 million yen (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 101000 yuan).

Japan's major Internet companies have responded quickly. For example, the prompt "about transmitting information from your device to the outside world" has been highlighted on the NTT DoCoMo website, which can be clicked to see the content and destination of the message to be sent.
