Recently, some netizens broke the news that singer Zhang Jie reported his mobile phone number at a concert. As a result, innocent amateurs suffered. This caused controversy among many netizens and related topics became hot searches.

On the evening of September 9th, the real-name certified @张杰站 publicly issued a letter of apology, admitting major negligence and mistakes at work:

During the stage interactive session of Zhang Jie’s Fuzhou concert on September 6, Mr. Zhang Jie mentioned a number, We have not verified this number in advance, so it has caused trouble and distress to the owner. This is a major oversight and mistake in our work, and we are deeply sorry.

Since that day, we have been actively contacting the machine owner, hoping to have the opportunity to apologize directly. We have made initial progress tonight and are currently negotiating a solution. Here, we humbly accept your criticisms and corrections, and we will do our best to take remedial measures. At the same time, we also kindly ask you not to disturb the machine owner again. Once again, we sincerely apologize to the owner and everyone who cares about this matter!

The incident started when Zhang Jie reported a random number at the concert and said, "I will call you tonight." The first 8 digits of the phone number randomly reported by Zhang Jie were "19821220", which was his own birthday. Zhang Jie used his birthday and the other 4 digits he mentioned casually to form a mobile phone number starting with 198. He told his fans that it was his phone number, but he didn't expect that the number he casually mentioned was actually someone else's mobile phone number.

According to Jimu News, due to Zhang Jie’s speech at the concert, many people called the 198 number, causing the holder of the mobile phone number to be extremely annoyed and forced to shut down his phone.

Chen Pingfan, a national "Double Thousand Plan" legal expert and director of Furong Law Firm, once interpreted this behavior. He said that Zhang Jie's behavior has constituted infringement.

1. If Zhang Jie casually reported someone else’s mobile phone number, is this considered an infringement of personal privacy information?

constitutes an invasion of privacy. In this case, if the number is not public and is disclosed without consent, this constitutes infringement. According to the Civil Code and relevant laws and regulations, personal privacy information includes but is not limited to name, portrait, address, phone number and other information that can identify a specific natural person alone or in combination with other information. Although "19821220" is Zhang Jie's birthday, which may be a coincidence, the consequences of Zhang Jie's random behavior are certain.

2. If the personal life of the original mobile phone owner is affected because the mobile phone number is leaked, how should the resulting loss be calculated?

The first thing to consider is whether there is any actual loss? If the original mobile phone number owner causes an increase in harassing calls, affects work and life, and even affects customer contact, order processing, etc. for business people, then the mobile phone number owner can collect evidence (such as call records, screenshots of harassment text messages, and proof of customer loss) etc.) and seek compensation through civil litigation. The scope of compensation includes direct economic losses, mental damage solatium, etc.

3. What other rights and interests of the mobile phone owner might be infringed upon by Zhang Jie’s casual reporting of his number?

Zhang Jie’s behavior may not only infringe on personal privacy rights, but may also infringe on the following rights and interests: Right to tranquility: The owner of the mobile phone number has the right to keep his private life uninterrupted, and harassing calls or messages violate his right to tranquility. Property Rights: As mentioned previously, business losses can result from numbers being released. Freedom of communication and the right to communication confidentiality: As a communication tool, the use of mobile phone numbers is not subject to illegal interference. The leakage of the number may lead to restrictions on communication freedom and leakage of communication secrets.
Although this incident seems to be a joke, the possible legal consequences cannot be ignored. Public figures should be more cautious in their words and deeds in public, always use the law as a guideline for their behavior, respect the privacy of others, and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. You must know that a "public figure" is not a talisman for your immunity.
