Abstract
In order to balance the relationship between the protection of personal
information and the use of personal information, the Personal
Information Protection Law has set anonymization standards. Although,
technically, absolute anonymity is not achievable, but the legal goals
are not the same as the technical goals. In order to maximize social
welfare, it is necessary to reduce the quality of anonymization to a
certain extent to ensure the universality and speed of the personal
information governance program. Therefore, it becomes feasible to
realize the anonymization of personal information in law. In order to
facilitate the anonymization of judgments, different jurisdictions have
established different rational people standards under the guidance of
value. The EU standard overemphasizes the protection of the rights of
information subjects, which is not conducive to the use of personal
information, and it is difficult to maximize social benefits. The
Anglo-American standard takes into account both “security” and
“efficiency”, while protecting the information subject, while leaving
enough space for personal information processors. Among them, the United
States compromises the adoption of abstract standards and specific
standards, which overcomes the impracticality of adopting abstract
standards alone. The shortcomings of non-predictability and other
specific standards.
