摘要: 当前爬虫技术已经异化,出现大量非法收集个人信息、窃取商业秘密、窃取数据等违法犯罪现象.从现实案例来看,爬虫技术的使用存在多个方面的社会风险,比如个人信息遭受泄露、计算机信息系统数据被非法收集、公共利益受到损害以及危及国家安全.现行刑法对滥用爬虫技术的规制体现在责任形式上主要是故意犯罪,过失犯罪只能通过其他罪名来间接体现,且效用非常有限.立法机关应当高度关注滥用计算机技术的过失犯罪问题,对于产生严重后果的行为应立法确认过失犯罪.面对网络空间主权的出现,刑法对危害国家安全、公共安全的罪名应当作出适当调整.与此同时,在人工智能时代应体现刑法的积极应对,为顺应现代科技发展,也需要对个人信息保护范围进行适当扩充.

Abstract: The current web crawler technology has been alienated, and there have been a large number of illegal crimes such as illegal collection of personal information, theft of trade secrets, and theft of data. From the actual cases, the use of web crawler technology has multiple social risks, such as personal information is leaked, computer information system data is illegally collected, public interests are damaged, and national security is endangered. The current criminal law on the misuse of web crawler technology which reflected in the form of crime responsibility is mainly intentional crime, negligence crime can only be indirectly reflected by other crimes, and the effectiveness is very limited. The legislature should pay close attention to the problem of negligent crimes of misuse of computer technology, and should legislate to confirm negligent crimes that have serious consequences. In the face of the emergence of cyberspace sovereignty, the criminal law should make appropriate adjustments to the crimes for national security and public safety. At the same time, in the era of artificial intelligence, the positive response of the criminal law should be reflected. In order to comply with the development of modern science and technology, it is necessary to appropriately expand the scope of protection of personal information.
