How Does GDPR Affect Consumer Privacy Regulations?

Europe's data protection regulation is a great example of this. It has been very influential in shaping what other countries are doing, including in China. GDPR gave Europe a first move for advantage when now everyone else around the world, whatever regulatory standard they come up with, have to think about how that kind of affects them. Technical standards are another place where this becomes a main issue as engineers get together through these very technocratic organizations like ITU and ISO. We make sure that they are technocratic first and foremost and we're adopting globally are ones that are going to protect privacy and freedom.
