Cyber Governance Dialogue in South Korea – 3/25/2022

– Can we obtain a global privacy agreement?  Is GDPR the best game in town for such agreement? Or CBPR as the US-Mexico agreement has suggested?
– Characterizing cross-border flow as trade makes us lose the flame of human rights. Or is data now a commodity where all the information exchange on platforms becomes valuable big data for targeted advertising?
– Or should the economic aspect of cross-border data flows be dealt with separately through DSA, etc., from the communication aspect which should be governed more under human rights?
– Is difference between EU and US over privacy reconcilable? EU’s privacy focus is more on companies while US’s privacy focus is more on state surveillance.
These were questions and comments exchanged at the Cyber Governance Dialogue in South Korea.
