Privacy Harmonization And The Developing World: The Impact Of The Eu's General Data Protection Regulation On Developing Economies, Tiffany Curtiss
Privacy Harmonization And The Developing World: The Impact Of The Eu's General Data Protection Regulation On Developing Economies, Tiffany Curtiss
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
Through strengthened third-party obligations for data protection, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation will export privacy norms. However, developing economies may want to consider a co-regulatory industry approach to data protection before adopting similar national legislation. The General Data Protection Regulation can be an ideal model for global harmonization of privacy laws, particularly for adoption among industries and willing participants. To benefit from a co-regulatory approach, however, a developing economy would need to invest in education and legal systems in order to capture the benefits of the growing e-commerce market that will undoubtedly be influenced by the General Data …

Equitable Recovery For Ashley Madison Hack Victims: The Federal Trade Commission As Executor Of A Narrow Right To Be Forgotten In The United States, Mackenzie Olson
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
Events following the Ashley Madison data breach exposed the personal information of millions of users. Victims filed class action suits in multiple courts in the United States, seeking various forms of monetary and equitable relief. However, these plaintiffs have been unable to compel the removal of personal information from third-party Internet sites hosting the information previously circulated by hackers.

Anonymization And Risk, Ira S. Rubinstein, Woodrow Hartzog
Washington Law Review
Perfect anonymization of data sets that contain personal information has failed. But the process of protecting data subjects in shared information remains integral to privacy practice and policy. While the deidentification debate has been vigorous and productive, there is no clear direction for policy. As a result, the law has been slow to adapt a holistic approach to protecting data subjects when data sets are released to others. Currently, the law is focused on whether an individual can be identified within a given set. We argue that the best way to move data release policy past the alleged failures of …

Identity Laws And Privacy Protection In A Modern State: The Legal History Concerning Personal Information In Taiwan (1895-2015), Yung-Hua Kuo, Po-Liang Chen
Washington International Law Journal
This article investigates the continuity and transformation of the personal identity and identification legal systems in Taiwan. From 1895 to 2015, Japan and subsequently the Republic of China (ROC) ruled Taiwan and transplanted different legal systems of personal information to Taiwan. This article analyzes how these systems were applied to and impacted Taiwanese society in three periods: the Japanese rule period (1895–1945), the period of strict control by the ROC government (1945–1992), and the rise and evolution of the privacy period (1993–2015). When Taiwan was ruled by the Qing Empire (1683–1895), there was no precise personal information database in Taiwan. …
