| TechrightsSocial | @schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: I notice that a lot of the "Google vs privacy" lobby is actually connected to its biggest river, Microsoft. FB, 'Consumer' 'Watchdog'... | Mar 28 15:08 |
| schestowitz | " | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | Agreed! Microsoft cares a lot about cloud computing, and anyone who cares about the viability of cloud computing has to care about the free flow of personal data across national boundaries, so they also have a lot at stake in how the EU's proposed data protection regulation turns out, even if they don't always (or ever) agree with Google. | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | What a wide range of privacy experts have concluded (and these include data protection authorities, experts from the Internet Society, and others I meet at APEC and OECD) is that trans-border accountability is overall a much better approach to protecting privacy than relying on the European Commission to make "adequacy" determinations. The problem with the EU's traditional approach (as per the 1995 Directive) is that it | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | depends greatly upon the notion that the EU can and must stop data from leaving the physical boundaries of the EU in order to prevent it from being "transferred" to a country that lacks "adequate" privacy protections (meaning, usually, lacks a law that looks more or less exactly like EU member state data protection laws). Insisting on trying to keep data within the borders of the EU runs totally counter to cloud computing as | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | a business model and creates legal barriers to trade as well as essential exchange of information for purposes of cyber security, financial market regulation and a wide variety of other international activities. But more importantly, it's just not enforceable. | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | A few months ago in Jakarta, there was a meeting of the APEC E-Commerce Steering Group Data Privacy Subgroup, at which a representative of the French DPA, CNIL, explored the possibility of interoperability between the APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules and the EU's system of Binding Corporate Rules. (see http://www.cnil.fr/english/news-and-events/news/article/international-data-transfers-towards-an-articulation-of-data-flow- | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | systems-between-europe-and-the-as/). This is terrific work. The DPAs are growing to like these sorts of trans-border accountability mechanisms because it helps them make better use of their limited resources and extends their trans-national reach. | Mar 28 15:11 |

| schestowitz | Industry likes it, too. The vast majority of industry actors actually don't mind data protection regulation as a general concept. Their customers are demanding more privacy protections, so a lot of what is required or may be required in EU regulation is stuff they're going to have to do anyway. What drives industry nuts are the legal restrictions on movement of data across national borders. In general, the insistence on | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | making the Internet respect national borders kind of defeats the whole purpose of the Internet. | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | So, there's a lot of good stuff in the EU proposal, including Reding's apparently pretty strong commitment to making Binding Corporate Rules a more viable and less bureaucratically cumbersome option than they currently are. But the problem is, there's still this undercurrent of "adequacy" orthodoxy in EU dialogue, which seems less concerned with what is a good and efficient means of protecting privacy and more concerned with | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | trying to limit the access of certain big US commercial actors (like Google and Facebook) to the EU marketplace. So, yes, Google is probably a bit obsessed with the EU's proposed Regulation, but in their defense, the EU's proposed Regulation and its proponents are also a bit too obsessed with Google and Facebook. They're not even looking at how some of these proposals could affect small businesses in Europe, including some | Mar 28 15:11 |
| schestowitz | who, ironically, might someday challenge Google's or Facebook's dominant market positions. | Mar 28 15:11 |
