As mentioned above, solution to problems related to big data is like following; First, “personal information" according to current Law on Information network can be misunderstood as simple personal confirmation information, therefore it must be concretized to data such as code, text, audio, video, etc. related to individual. Second, to resolve forced agreement, or comprehensive agreement on processing of the personal data, system such as evaluation on the influence of personal data, right to be forgotten, installation of blocking function to online tracking, limit to collection of cookie data, etc. must be implemented. Third, organization that can regulate illegal collection and process of personal data must be founded.
