The U.S. Supreme Court<\/a> on Monday gave Microsoft Corp's LinkedIn Corp<\/a> another chance to try to stop rival hiQ Labs<\/a> Inc from harvesting personal data<\/a> from the professional networking platform's public profiles - a practice that LinkedIn<\/a> contends threatens the privacy of its users. 美国最高法院周一给微软(msft . o:行情)LinkedIn Corp .)另一个试图阻止竞争对手的机会hiQ实验室公司从收获个人资料专业网络平台的公共档案——这种做法LinkedIn认为威胁其用户的隐私。
The justices threw out a lower court ruling that had barred LinkedIn from denying hiQ access to the information that LinkedIn members had made publicly available.
At issue is whether companies can use a federal anti-hacking law called the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which prohibits accessing a computer without authorization, to block competitors from harvesting or \"scraping\" vast amounts of customer data from public-facing parts of a website.
The justices sent the dispute back to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider in light of their June 4 ruling that limited the type of conduct that can be criminally prosecuted under the same law. In that case, the justices found that a person cannot be guilty of violating that law if they misuse information on a computer that they have permission to access.
The LinkedIn case underscores the increasing importance of personal data on the internet<\/a> and the ability of companies to profit from that information, while raising questions over who can control and use an individual's data - and for what purpose.
LinkedIn, which has more than 750 million members, told hiQ in 2017 to stop scraping LinkedIn's public profiles or face liability under the anti-hacking law.
For its part, hiQ uses the data for products that analyze employee skills or alert employers when they could be looking for a new job. It said LinkedIn issued the threat around the same time LinkedIn announced a similar service to hiQ's.
It sued in federal court, accusing LinkedIn of anti-competitive conduct, and a federal judge in 2017 granted its request for a preliminary injunction against LinkedIn. Explaining its stance, hiQ has said data must remain public and innovation on the internet should not be stifled by anti-competitive hoarding of public data by a small group of powerful companies.
The 9th Circuit in 2019 blocked LinkedIn from cutting off hiQ while the litigation continued, ruling that the law at issue likely does not apply in situations in which no authorization is needed to access the data that users have made publicly available.
LinkedIn told the Supreme Court that hiQ's software \"bots\" can harvest data on a massive scale, far beyond what any individual person could do when viewing public profiles.
LinkedIn in April said that some of the publicly viewable data of its users had been scraped and posted for sale.

法官否决了下级法院的裁决,禁止LinkedIn否认hiQ访问LinkedIn会员已经公开的信息。
问题在于企业可以使用联邦反黑客法称为计算机欺诈和滥用行为,禁止擅自访问计算机,阻止竞争对手收获或“刮”大量的客户数据从一个网站面向公众的部分。
LinkedIn的情况下个人数据的重要性日益凸显互联网和公司从这些信息中获利的能力,同时提高问题谁能控制和使用个人数据和用途。
LinkedIn拥有超过7.5亿名成员,在2017年告诉hiQ停止刮LinkedIn的公共资料,否则将面临法律责任下的反黑客。
就其本身而言,hiQ使用产品的数据分析员工技能或提醒雇主时,他们可能会找一份新工作。据说LinkedIn发布威胁大约在同一时间LinkedIn宣布与hiQ相似的服务。
它在联邦法院起诉,指控LinkedIn反竞争行为,一位联邦法官在2017年授予其要求对LinkedIn的初步禁令。解释立场,hiQ表示数据必须保持公众和创新在互联网上不应该扼杀公共数据的反竞争囤积一小群强大的公司。
第九电路在2019年阻止LinkedIn切断hiQ诉讼仍在继续,裁定法律问题可能不适用于不需要授权的情况下访问用户的数据公开。
LinkedIn对最高法院说,hiQ的软件“机器人”可以收获大规模数据,远远超出了任何个人可以做当浏览公共档案。
LinkedIn今年4月表示,一些公开数据可视的用户被刮,发布出售。
