Shanghai's Pudong Procuratorate has successfully prosecuted four individuals involved in the illegal sale of citizens' mobile phone location data. Li, an insider at a telecommunications company, collaborated with an external group to sell over a thousand pieces of location information, earning the group more than 1.14 million yuan in virtual currency. The court sentenced the defendants to up to three and a half years in prison and imposed fines for infringing on personal information. Additionally, a public interest litigation requires the defendants to issue a public apology and compensate for public interest losses.
