个人信息以识别性为基础并与一定的利益具有关联性，其随着大数据时代的发展而逐渐被发掘出特殊的使用价值和价值，在本质上，个人信息具有个人属性和社会属性两个方面。侵犯公民个人信息罪保护的法益，存在个人法益说和超个人法益说两种理论的争议，这种思想理论上的矛盾实质上是个人信息的个人属性和社会属性的对立统一在认识层面的反映。在侵犯公民个人信息的犯罪行为呈现出规模化、产业链化的态势下，个人法益说的局限性越发凸显，难以准确评价行为所危害的法益。因此，应当采纳超个人法益说，并将本罪保护的法益确定为信息公共安全，从而与时代背景下的个人信息属性的特点相契合，与刑法相关条文和司法解释的出台目的相符合，有效满足对个人信息的合理保护和高效利用相平衡的时代发展需求。

Personal information is based on identification and is linked to certain interests.Its special use and value is being explored in the age of big data.In essence, personal information has both personal and social attributes. The legal interest protected by the crime of infringement of citizens' personal information is disputed by two theories, the personal legal interest theory and the supra-personal legal interest theory, and this ideological and theoretical contradiction is essentially a reflection of the opposing unity of the personal and social attributes of personal information at the cognitive level. The limitations of the individual legal interest theory have become more and more obvious as the crime of infringement of citizens' personal information is becoming more and more large-scale and industrial chain-oriented, and it is difficult to accurately summarize the legal interest endangered by the act. Therefore, the supra-personal legal interest theory should be adopted and the legal interest protected by this crime should be determined as public security of information. This will be in line with the characteristics of personal information in the context of the times, in line with the purpose of the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law and judicial interpretations, and effectively meet the needs of the times for a balance between the reasonable protection and efficient use of personal information.
