Abstract: Increasingly we live in a world of ubiquitous data and widely distributed power to collect, use, store, and share personal information. Data protection takes on new importance in an environment in which our activities, communications, transactions, and preferences are captured electronically and used to define our existence. Yet data protection laws, with their focus on transparency, consent, and regulatory oversight of every aspect of data processing are proving increasingly unworkable in the face of the deluge of digital data. The situation is exacerbated by the wide divergence among regional and national (and even local and provincial) laws used to regulate inherently global data flows. As reality and law grow further apart, individuals are left unprotected, industry and governments operate without meaningful oversight or certainty, and society lacks shared norms about the appropriate limits of data collection and use. This lecture addresses the scope of the problem and some practical steps for doing better.
