When taking a ride hailing service, I contacted the driver to provide accurate location information. When I called, I found that the 11 digit phone number starting with "1" was not common, and the driver could only see the user's "virtual number". Similar experiences are not new in life. Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on piloting number protection services, planning to use the 700 segment as a dedicated code resource for number protection services. This means that China's management of "privacy numbers" will be more standardized. The "privacy number", also known as the "middle number", refers to the temporary number assigned to individual users to replace the real mobile phone number entrusted by Internet platform enterprises such as express, take away, online car hailing and other enterprises and institutions. Privacy accounts are equivalent to adding a layer of "firewall" to real phone numbers. Using this service can ensure that merchants and delivery personnel can contact users without providing their actual phone numbers to relevant personnel, which is conducive to reducing the risk of personal information leakage. Data shows that the daily average order volume of number protection services in China is at least 350 million. The large volume of business, coupled with inconsistent number formats, makes it easy for companies to use mobile phone numbers, landline phone numbers, 95 numbers, and other related services in the early stages, which can cause confusion and inconvenience to users. The lack of unified technical implementation standards and service specifications also affects the stability of privacy account services. In this sense, piloting number protection services is of great significance for protecting personal information, facilitating daily life, combating telecommunications fraud, and promoting the development and growth of platform economy. In the future, when users make or receive phone calls and see a 15 digit number starting with "700", they will understand that the communication is using number protection services and can call with peace of mind. The 15 digit dedicated number segment can not only be clearly distinguished from the current format of mobile phone numbers and fixed phone numbers, making it easy for users to identify, but also laying a good foundation for future development. It can meet the billions of code resource needs in future scenarios such as express delivery, food delivery, and ride hailing, reflecting a coordinated thinking that takes into account both the present and the long term. In the information age, mobile phone numbers are not only communication carriers, but can also be regarded as a "digital ID card" that connects personal identity, financial accounts, and social relationships. To weave a dense and secure personal information security protection network, it is necessary to focus on the risk of personal information leakage and conduct targeted inspections and repairs. For example, after canceling a mobile phone number, it is "re released", and various accounts bound with that number are logged in and used by strangers; For example, when going to some restaurants to "scan the code and order", it is required to register as a member using a mobile phone number; For example, the recipient, mobile phone number, shipping address, and other information on the express waybill are illegally collected, leading to harassing phone calls and promotional activities... Eliminating similar pain points, creating a healthier, cleaner, and safer information and communication consumption environment, and better safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers are necessary to boost consumption and promote technological progress towards goodness, ensuring that technological progress serves and benefits people. The problems in development need to be solved through development. Facing the new challenges brought by new technologies, we need to use technological iteration to prevent risks and governance upgrading to eliminate chaos. Only by walking on two legs can we nurture and care for new business models while ensuring that the development process of new technologies is not delayed. This requires the continuous updating of technical tools and the continuous improvement of governance refinement level. Specifically in the field of information and communication, on the one hand, operators and Internet platforms must be responsible and conscientious to enhance the "sense of boundaries" and provide users with a more secure digital environment; On the other hand, on the basis of improving the industry regulatory system, it is necessary to further strengthen the implementation and promote the stable and far-reaching development of the industry. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the implementation of universal telecommunications services in China. From "broadband connectivity in every village and 5G connectivity in every township" to the completion of aging friendly and barrier free transformation of thousands of elderly friendly websites and apps, these incremental advances have left a mark of universal access for technological development. While steadfastly promoting technological innovation, accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into tangible benefits for people's livelihoods will provide a continuous source of power for economic development and improvement of people's livelihoods.
