    Privacy In The Era Of Borderless Innovation

    Innovations such as big data, social commerce, and Internet consumer data mining have led to explosive growth in the Internet economy, but they have also affected user privacy. Google Analytics, cloud computing, and even the use of cookies have all engendered privacy debates and, in some cases, new regulations. Thomas Reuters reported that there were more than 14,000 regulatory announcements in 2011 around the world. How does a multinational company keep up with such a complex legal environment yet still foster cross-border innovation? The panel will address these topics:

    • True stories and lessons learned from navigating the complex web of global privacy laws and regulations.
    • The impact of innovations such as big data, social commerce, cloud computing, and Internet consumer data mining on privacy.
    • The tensions between rapid Internet-led innovation and the pace and nature of regulation.
    • The role of government-level multilateral agreements in fostering international collaboration and innovation while protecting citizens' privacy rights.
