随着隐私权保护意识的迅速提升，越来越多的侵犯隐私权行为困扰着人们的生活，其中最为严重的就是利用互联网侵犯隐私权现象。由于互联网传播信息速度迅猛、范围极其广泛以及网民数量的激增，利用互联网侵犯隐私权的行为屡见不鲜，并且带来了极为严重的后果。其中最严重的就是人肉搜索行为。因此，规制利用互联网侵犯隐私权行为成为当下完善隐私权法律保护的重要课题之一。很多学者对于隐私权的法律问题也进行了研究，然而对于该行为是否应入罪大部分学者少有涉及，只是从民法以及其他各种制度上进行研究，这也反映了他们并没有考虑将该行为归入刑法的调整范围之内；少数学者认为人肉搜索行为因具有严重的社会危害性应当由刑法进行规制。而笔者通过对所搜集资料的把握认为，该行为仅仅通过其他部门法的规制已经无法达到保护公民隐私权的目的。因此，本文意图通过这个突出的社会现象寻找隐私权刑法保护的路径和步骤。本文共分为四个部分。首先，笔者阐述了与利用互联网侵犯隐私权相关的基本问题，为整篇论文奠定了分析与论证的基础。其次，通过对利用互联网侵犯隐私权的现象的分析，得出对于这一问题纳入刑法视野之内进行处理是十分必要且紧迫的。再次，综观我国法律的规定，各个部门法对于隐私权的保护重视程度严重不足，使得隐私权这一重要的权利的保护难以找到法律依据。最后，笔者在分析了国外的立法经验之后，提出增设利用互联网侵犯隐私权罪这一罪名，以开启刑法对隐私权的直接保护模式时代。在提出这一具体设想的基础上，进一步对该罪名的构成要件、刑罚配置以及相关的具体问题进行简要的分析。对利用互联网侵犯隐私权行为的刑法规制问题进行分析研究，笔者的目的是希望抛砖引玉，使得这个问题能够得到学术界的进一步研究以及立法界的高度重视，推动隐私权法律保护体系的逐步健全。

With the raising awareness of privacy protection, the privacy infringement were disturbing people’s life increasingly, especially the phenomenon of using the internet to infringe privacy. The behavior of using internet to infringe privacy is nothing new now, and it result in very serious consequences because the transmission of information by the internet is so quickly and widely as well as the number of netizen is increasing sharply. Recently years, the event of Human Flesh Search is a typical example. However, there are only a few provisions to the protection of privacy in the current laws. Regulation of the behavior of using internet to infringe upon privacy is one of the most important task of perfecting the legal system of our country. Many scholars have done research from the perspective of civil law and various kinds of social systems, but seldom from the view of criminal law. They consider that this behavior should not be regulated by criminal law. The other scholars think that the behavior should be regulated by criminal law because of its great social harmful consequences. The author argue that the other law departments cannot take the responsibility of regulating this behavior to protect privacy instead of criminal law. Thus, this article is going discuss the way and procedure of protecting privacy by criminal law from four parts. First, this article states the basic questions relate to use the internet to infringe privacy as the base of this article. Second, according to the analysis of the behavior of using internet to infringe privacy, the author think it's necessary and urgent that the behavior of using internet to infringe privacy should be regulate by criminal law. Third, due to the limited attention that the legislator paid to privacy, it is difficult to find legal grounds for the protecting of citizen's important right--privacy right. Finally, basis on the reference of foreign legislation experience, the author state that a new accusation named the crime of using internet to infringe privacy should be establish, so as to open the era of directly protection of privacy. Furthermore, this article made a brief analysis of constitutive requirement, criminal penalty and other related question. The author hope that the scholars and legislators can pay more attention to the problem and take the behavior of using internet to infringe privacy into the regulation of criminal law through the research of this issue. In short, the aim of this article is to improve the legal system of protection of privacy gradually and to endeavor for building up the socialist society which is ruled by law.
