This was predictable. Regulation, Google, the government, and shareholders, oh nos. All in the name of security, of course, you know the drill, these companies always pen their own regulation, and the government gets what they want out of the deal. It's why these scare tactics exist in the first place, in my view. Companies like Google, facebook, and the government have a vested interest in the control of information as well as the narrative. Particularly given our preemptive foreign policy and the global network these companies run. Scaring Americans to the point of beggging for more government interference into their lives in the name of security is historically tried and true. Problem. Reaction. Solution.
This is an important time to take on this new role. Now, more than any other time I have worked in this field, there is real momentum to develop baseline rules of the road for data protection. Google welcomes this and supports comprehensive, baseline privacy regulation. People deserve to feel comfortable that all entities that use personal information will be held accountable for protecting it. And we believe that regulation can support a dynamic marketplace for businesses of all types and sizes.
Today, we’re sharing our view on the requirements, scope, and enforcement expectations that should be reflected in all responsible data protection laws. This framework is based on established privacy frameworks, as well as our experience providing services that rely on personal data and our work to comply with evolving data protection laws around the world. These principles help us evaluate new legislative proposals and advocate for responsible, interoperable and adaptable data protection regulations. How these principles are put into practice will shape the nature and direction of innovation. You can find more detail in this PDF.
Sound practices combined with strong and balanced regulations can help provide individuals with confidence that they’re in control of their personal information. I look forward to discussing these principles and Google’s work on privacy and security with the U.S. Senate later this week, and to working with policymakers and all stakeholders on regulation that protects consumers and enables innovation
