Carey Lening :blobcatverified:<p>I've been asked (for reasons) to put together a short bit on trends in <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> and <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/dataprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dataprotection</span></a> space over the next few years. </p><p>I've got quite a few thoughts on new developments, but would love to ask my fellow <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a>, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a>, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/lawfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lawfedi</span></a>, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academic</span></a> friends -- what impactful areas do you think will drive <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> and <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/dataprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dataprotection</span></a> ? </p><p>1) the impact of existing and future laws (like the <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/AIAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIAct</span></a>), on how we deal with new and novel <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> and its use of <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/personaldata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>personaldata</span></a> <br>2) Regulatory and <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/enforcement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enforcement</span></a> shifts, particularly around the role of the <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/DPO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DPO</span></a>, conflicts of interest, and <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/crossborder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crossborder</span></a> disputes<br>3) The death of <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/onestopshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onestopshop</span></a> and a breakdown of the <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/consistency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consistency</span></a> mechanism as we know it?! <br>4) More <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> states adopting <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/privacylaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacylaws</span></a> similar to (but likely weaker than) the <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/CCPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CCPA</span></a>. WAY more development of niche <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/dataprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dataprotection</span></a> laws on AI, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/biometrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biometrics</span></a> & <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/kidsprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kidsprivacy</span></a> <br>5) More alignment from other countries on a <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a>-like framework - notably in <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>India</span></a> and countries in the Global South. <br>6) Tools like <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chatgpt</span></a> and other <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/privtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privtech</span></a> gradually starting to muscle out some of the manual <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/privacyops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacyops</span></a> workloads, since there simply aren't enough folks capable of handling mountains of <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/DPAs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DPAs</span></a>, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/TIAs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TIAs</span></a>, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/DPIAs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DPIAs</span></a>, <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/ROPAs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ROPAs</span></a>, etc., etc. <br>7) Some sort of resolution on the whole new <a href="https://dataprotection.social/tags/ePrivacyRegs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ePrivacyRegs</span></a>. </p><p>What say you ? Do these sound plausible or crazy? What do you think will be prioritized in the next year or five? </p><p>cc: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@luismontezuma" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>luismontezuma</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gabrielazf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gabrielazf</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pluralistic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@JBAGerritsen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>JBAGerritsen</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://misskey.de/@teamdatenschutz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>teamdatenschutz</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Privacymatters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Privacymatters</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://freeradical.zone/@missiggeek" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>missiggeek</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@DataProtectionNerd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>DataProtectionNerd</span></a></span></p>
