NLIU Law Review Volume 7

This year the NLIU Law Review seeks to publish Volume 7, which will be solely dedicated to submissions exploring the principles related to data protection. From Google and Twitter to Amazon and Uber, are increasingly becoming data-oriented, finding unique methods to use data to unlock new avenues of profit. With the emergence of big data, governments can now collect, process and scrutinize data from millions of people.

While governments have defended their actions on the basis of national security, citizens’ concerns about their privacy rights still remain unaddressed. Three broad strategies are available to tackle and nullify the effects of privacy issues – individual notice and consent, opting out, and anonymization. The applicability and effectiveness of these strategies, however, is limited. The problem with individual notice and consent is that at the time of data collection, most secondary uses of the data haven’t been fully explored, making it impossible for users to give their informed consent about risks that don’t exist. Similarly, anonymization of data has its own risks due to the possibility of re-identification and opting out of certain services may be impractical.

Therefore the strategies we currently employ are not sufficient to cope with the evolving needs of the information age, where everything quantifiable seems to be measured, recorded, and exploited. This trend shows no signs of slowing and has opened a floodgate of issues relating to cross-border ownership, use and storage of data. At the same time, data also provides us with customized services and life-saving insights. In order for us to address these issues, we must evolve principles that are pragmatic and still reflect our human values.
