Working title: Deep Dive: Data Protection and Privacy

Session teaser

What does the history of data protection look like? What does the present look like? Does notice and consent help you against Ad-tech or are you powerless?

Format

1. Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix, A brief history of data protection

The story of data protection law is far from linear. What we experience today in the form of cookie banners and rights of the data subject is the result of several historical processes involving jurisdictions on both sides of the Atlantic. For this part of the session, you will get an overview of the policy questions that animated the very first debates regarding what was called, at the time, the issue of "privacy and computers" and how these issues traveled around the world and were transformed and made into law, from the very first data protection statutes to the most cutting edge incarnations of the GDPR.

2. Walter van Holst
