Google Privacy Chief Calls for International Data Protection Standards

Heise Online: “The world’s number one search engine Google is calling for international standards for data protection. “Three quarters of the countries in the world have no privacy regimes at all”, Peter Fleischer, Google’s Privacy Chief, explained at a conference organized by UNESCO, the UN’s Education, Science, and Culture Organization, on the topic of “Internet Ethics“. What’s worse, Fleischer pointed out that even the countries in Europe and the OECD (Organization for Economic Collaboration and Development) that do have such laws wrote them up back when the Internet did not have the impact it currently does.”
