Online Transportation: Violation of Privacy Rights and Vulnerability to Sexual Violence by Drivers in Digital Platform-Based Work

摘要

This study will examine the relation of the lack of protection of consumers' digital personal data online transportation modes which have implications for the vulnerability of sexual violence carried out by drivers of online transportation. The annual data of the Women's National Commission in 2019 shows there were 406,178 cases of violence against women in 2018. Among these cases, there were at least 2-5 percent of cases of sexual violence in the mode of online transportation. Sexual violence is not a statistical problem; one case is that an increasing number of crimes indicate that there is a serious problem with the protection of the personal data of consumers of online transportation. This study uses normative legal research that is prescriptive. The results of the study indicate that firstly, the majority of online transportation drivers still have not received education about consumer rights, especially women who are vulnerable to acts of sexual violence. Second, the recruitment and track record of drivers is still not done well by online transportation application providers. Third, the application providers have made repressive efforts against individual drivers who acted in crime despite still not being fair because the treatment of victims seems to be still not responsive.
