信息自主权是指自然人自主选择是否接受信息的一种新型人格权；因此，违背接收人意愿，通过各种方式或手段强行向接收人信息存储空间里发送信息的行为就是典型的侵害信息自主权行为。传统时代背景下，由于信息传播具有高成本、低效率的特点，信息自主权作为一种人格权并无承认的必要。在网络时代的今天，信息技术的发展使得垃圾短信、垃圾邮件等侵害信息自主权成为难以解决的顽疾；之所以如此，乃是因为主流理论长期认识错误所致。

实际上，发送垃圾短信、垃圾邮件等各种行为之所以应当被认为是侵害信息自主权，最关键的是它非法侵入并持久占据他人的信息存储空间。据此，它跟网络公共空间里的“垃圾信息”行为有着本质的区别，后者并没有非法侵入个人信息存储空间，个人如果不愿意接看到这些信息，可以选择离开。

未来，我国民法理论和《民法典》应该承认信息自主权作为一种新型人格权，以适应网络时代信息传播的时代性特点。对于信息自主权制度的构建，除了在民法典人格权编具体人格权中增设信息自主权外，还应该在物权编把信息存储空间视为“物”，把个人对其电子邮箱存储空间所享有的权利设定为用益物权。这样，未来像发送垃圾短信、垃圾邮件等侵害信息自主权行为，受害人可以同时要求财产法上的救济措施——排除妨害、恢复原状，又可以要求人格侵权的救济措施——精神损害赔偿等。如此一来，既可以增加侵权行为成本，又有利于受害人维权。

Information autonomy is a new personality right of natural person to choose whether to accept information or not. Therefore, the behavior of forcibly sending information to the information storage space of the recipient through various means or means against the recipient's will is a typical behavior that infringes on information autonomy. Under the background of traditional times, because of the high cost and low efficiency of information transmission, it is not necessary to recognize information autonomy as a personality right. In today's network era, the development of information technology makes spam messages, spam emails and other infringement of information autonomy become intractable diseases; This is because mainstream theory has long been wrong. In the compilation of China's civil code, behaviors that infringe on information autonomy, such as sending spam messages and spam emails, are wrongly classified as behaviors that infringe on privacy.

In fact, the most important reason why sending spam messages, spam emails and other behaviors are considered to infringe on information autonomy is that they illegally invade and permanently occupy other people's information storage space. In this sense, it is fundamentally different from "spamming" in the public space of the Internet, which does not illegally invade the storage space of personal information, so individuals can choose to leave if they do not want to see the information.

In the future, the theory of civil law and Civil Code should recognize the autonomy of information as a new personality right, so as to adapt to the characteristics of information transmission in the network age. For the construction of information autonomy system, in addition to adding information autonomy in the specific personality right of the civil Code, information storage space and transmission channel should be regarded as "things" in the property right, so as to set the right of individuals to their E-mail storage space as usufructuary right. In this way, in the future, such as sending spam messages, spam emails and other acts of infringement of information autonomy, the victim can simultaneously request relief measures in property law - removal of nuisance, restoration of the original status, and can request relief measures of personality infringement - mental damages, etc. For the exclusion of obstruction, legal compensation can be made, such as one infringement compensation of 1,000 YUAN. In this way, not only can increase the cost of infringement, but also benefit the victim's rights protection.
