English to Chinese: GDPR and data privacy: a legislative world tour
Source text - English The protection of personal data, the GDPR’s raison d’être, has become a symbolic battle for Europe, the birthplace of human and citizen rights.
Though the regulation applies to companies that target European citizens, its influence is visible far beyond the borders of the EU, extending to Argentina, Brazil, India, and even China. New cybersecurity and data privacy laws are being drafted all around the world, and deepening the debate. But the economic, legislative, and philosophical foundations vary hugely from country to country, ranging from American liberalism to Chinese centralism. So, what do we need to know about protecting personal data outside of Europe?
The United States: caught between liberalism and interventionism
While the GDPR was about to be implemented across Europe, the US Congress was making a radical change by passing a March 2018 law called the Cloud Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data). The law allows the US government to obtain foreign data, using operators and Internet service providers. Access is restricted, however, to legal proceedings.
Since the GDPR was implemented, many American publishers have also tried to limit their exposure to the law, by blocking access to their services to users located in the EU (temporarily or otherwise) as a “precaution”. Even some media outlets have blocked access to their content, such as the Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, and US Magazine. The website dataverifiedjoseph.com lists sites that are blocked in the EU.
According to American website Axios, however, discussions are underway at the White House regarding a privacy protection law. In April 2018, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the US Congress regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal. When the personal data of some 87 million users was exploited without their knowledge, all Americans (and elected officials) realized the importance of data protection.
In June 2018, California led the way by announcing a law to protect its citizens’ personal data from 2020 onwards, requiring companies to specify what kinds of data they collect on clients : “California Consumer Privacy Act”. Apple CEO Tim Cook saluted this effort during the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in Brussels in October 2018. This law is the first step towards stricter regulation for data collection, directly inspired by Europe’s GDPR, even if its approach seems more flexible. Indeed, as French journalist Elisa Braun says, “web giants failed to prevent California from passing the law”. They hope that Washington will adopt a more lenient federal law which would supersede the Californian legislature. According to Amazon’s lawyer Andrew DeVore in early September, this could lead to a regulations “patchwork”, where each American state would create its own privacy frame. If web giants manage to create an alliance with telecommunication operators, the birth of strict privacy regulation in the United States would be less likely.
Translation - Chinese 《通用数据保护条例》(GDRP)的宗旨——保护个人数据——在人权和公民权利的发源地欧洲掀起了一场具有象征意义的战斗
2018年6月，加利福尼亚州率先出台了一部保护州内公民个人数据的法律——《2018加州消费者隐私法案》(California Consumer Privacy Act)。该法案将于2020年起生效，法案要求企业明确指出所收集的客户信息的类别。在2018年10月于布鲁塞尔召开的数据保护和隐私专员国际会议( the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners)期间，苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克致敬了加州的这一立法努力。《2018加州消费者隐私法案》是朝更严格的数据收集法规迈出的第一步，是受到欧洲《通用数据保护条例》直接启发的成果，尽管相比之下，加州的隐私法案条款似乎更具弹性。诚然，正如法国记者埃莉萨·布劳恩( Elisa Braun )所言：“网络巨头业已无法阻止加州通过该部法律。”因此，网络巨头希望华盛顿能采用一部更为宽松的联邦法律，用于取代加州的立法。根据亚马逊公司的律师安德鲁•德沃尔( Andrew DeVore)在9月初的发言，这将导致美国在相关法规条例的制定上出现分而治之的局面，每个州都将建立各自的隐私管理框架。此外，如果网络巨头和电信运营商成功结盟，那么美国出台严格的隐私保护法规的希望就更加渺茫了。
