The wave of privacy awareness that has exploded in Europe and spread throughout the world has forced big technology companies to adapt. It's a conclusion reached by three privacy officials from Google, Twitter and Amazon in an online panel held at this week's CES. Google Privacy Officer, Keith Enright; that of Twitter, Damien Kieran; and Director of Trust for Alexa, Anne Toth; They recognized at said digital table that all technology companies are obliged to guarantee users greater control over their data. This has led to the main technology companies adhering to the European data protection regulation, known by its acronym in English as GDPR (RGPD, for its acronym in Spanish). The problem, as reflected in a report of the talk published by CNET , is that in the US—where many of these firms are based—there is no homogeneous regulation that addresses these issues.
Facebook loses the legal parapet of Ireland: the EU opens the door for each country to open independent proceedings against the social network There are regulations regarding data protection in states such as California, Maine or Vermont, which has encouraged many multinationals to take on the legal requirements of these regions and extend them to users throughout the country. However, Enright, Kieran and Toth recognized the opportunity for federal regulations, analogous to the GDPR, to be developed Europe Cell Phone Number List in the US. With big technology companies assuming that they have to make it easier for their users to access data, Amazon's Toth recognizes that it is up to them to "find ways to make it easy." An example of this is the possible portability of data that is already covered by some legislation: users can collect everything that the platforms know about them and transfer that information to another network. However, the disparity in regulations between states and countries complicates things, acknowledges Google's Enright.
We're already taking on all the patch work," she laments. The GDPR disappoints 2 years after its implementation and the EU is preparing to strengthen its controls on big technology companies after the coronavirus crisis Despite the words of those responsible for privacy at Google, Twitter or Amazon, some platforms are appealing the historic Schrems-II ruling of the CJEU , which in the middle of last year suspended the legal vehicle through which the transfer of personal data was allowed. of users from outside the European Union bound for the United States. At the end of December, Facebook achieved a judicial victory in Austrian courts, which recognized the social network's right to 'get around' this veto if it ensured that its suppliers in the United States demonstrated respectful data processing comparable to that given to these in the EU.
