Michael R. Nelson of Cloudflare was struck that there isn’t common policy in each individual European
country.
“You’ve got the data privacy commissioner saying protect the data, and then you have law enforcement
saying grab as much data as you can get,” Nelson said. “No one points out that the two policies are colliding.”
“Strong encryption is an actual solution to the problem that data localization often purports to solve,”
said Laura DeNardis, professor at American University. “The same countries that want to protect privacy
through data localization are often the ones that resist the strong encryption and I think that’s important to
note.”
Panelists concluded the session discussing Internet interconnection, with a common theme developing:
transparency. DeNardis suggested that if there were more transparency in the interconnection space, some
data problems might not exist.
“Transparency comes first as a priority and important aspect, and then consistency in translation and
enforcement of the legal system,” said Masaaki Sakamaki, executive vice president of Docomo CS Inc. “If you
have transparency, most of the problems will be solved. The problem is that there is not much transparency
in other countries.”
Nelson ended the session by asking the panelists to come up with a 140-character tweet to summarize the
session.
Hidvegi offered her theoretical tweet that put a cap on the discussion: “Both the private and public sector
must respect fundamental rights including privacy and data protection.”
