I alone was added at the last minute [1], so this has not yet been reflected on the Web Site …
Still, it is always the same sort of group…
Now, what should I talk about?
Possible topics include:
- Differences between consent principles in the United States and Europe: while the EU Data Protection Regulation requires “Explicit Consent,” under the U.S. Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, implicit consent is acceptable when it is clear from the context.
- What is “meaningful consent”?
- Is it “Data Protection” or “Privacy Protection”?
- Level of Protection, Level of Control.
- The “right to be forgotten” and the “right to reverse consent”
- How realistic is being forgotten (data deletion)?
- Provider Linkability and Consumer Linkability [2]
- Cross-border data issues
- Business models for providing authentication and attribute data: Pareto improvement
and so on.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
[1] I had been approached quite early, but because of scheduling and other matters, it was only yesterday that my trip to the United States was finally decided.
[2] It is a privacy violation when different service providers collude, link users’ information without permission, and create an arbitrary image of them. On the other hand, having users themselves centrally manage what information they provide and where (which necessarily requires linking) can be said to be essential for controlling their own image.
