Зустріч в рамках Комітету АПУ з питань телекомунікацій, інформаційних технологій та Інтернету з юристом з США Патріком М. Беллом щодо обговорення питань конфіденційності та безпеки даних, 26.07.2017, м.Київ
The document discusses emerging issues around data privacy and the increasing conflict between privacy regulations and security practices. It notes that as technologies become more invasive and personal data is more broadly defined, protecting privacy will become more challenging. Current conflicts center around government access to data for security purposes versus privacy rights, as illustrated by debates over laws like the USA PATRIOT Act and NSA surveillance programs. The document also examines differences in privacy definitions and regulations between jurisdictions like the US and EU. Looming issues include the potential impact of Europe's new General Data Protection Regulation and a case regarding law enforcement access to data stored outside a country.
The Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus identifies Canada, China, Mexico, Russia, and Spain as countries of concern for copyright piracy in 2010. The document summarizes ongoing intellectual property protection issues in each country, such as lack of enforcement, legal loopholes exploited by pirates, physical and online piracy problems, and calls upon governments to strengthen laws and step up enforcement efforts against piracy.
Data Sovereignty is the idea that data are subject to the laws and governance structures within the nation it is collected. The concept of data sovereignty is closely linked with data security, cloud computing and technological sovereignty. Data sovereignty is usually discussed in two ways: in relation to Indigenous groups and Indigenous autonomy from post-colonial states or in relation to transnational data flow. With the rise of cloud computing, many countries have passed various laws around control and storage of data, which all reflects measures of data sovereignty.

The Patriot Act and Cloud Security - Busting the European FUDResilient Systems
In the wake of Edward Snowden's allegations of NSA cyber spying, we are honored to have a former General Counsel of the NSA as one of our panelists. This is sure to be an especially interesting webinar.
European hosting companies have cited the USA Patriot Act of 2001 as the boogieman that would leave information free for plunder by the dark and clandestine US Government. And NSA activity as described by Edward Snowden has provided a convenient, timely, and high profile case study. But are these concerns well founded? Learn more about the Patriot Act, ways other countries combat terrorism, and how these relate to privacy.
Our featured speakers for this timely webinar will be:
-Stewart Baker, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson LLP; Former Assistant Secretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security and General Counsel of the NSA
-Michael Vatis, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson LLP
-Gant Redmon, Esq. CIPP/US General Counsel, Co3 Systems
Data sovereignty and security are overlapping but distinct concepts. Data sovereignty refers to a nation asserting ownership and regulation over digital information located within its borders, while security focuses on protecting data. Different countries take varying approaches, with Europe prioritizing individual rights, and Russia and China emphasizing state control and requiring certain data to be stored locally. This lack of a unified philosophical view complicates compliance for global companies and hinders a consistent global approach to data protection.

The document discusses how the internet has changed public expectations around access to government information and how traditional institutions are struggling to keep up. It provides examples of new tools and intermediaries that are helping to provide legislative and government data in more accessible ways. It argues that law libraries need to be bold partners in this new era, helping to inform government and technology developers while also publishing hard-to-find documents and guiding the public to information.
Whitt a deference to protocol revised journal draft december 2012 120612rswhitt1
This document discusses a draft paper about establishing a public policy framework for regulating the internet. It summarizes the debate around proposed legislation called SOPA and PIPA, which aimed to stop foreign websites from hosting copyright infringing content but would have imposed technical requirements on websites and ISPs. Many internet engineers expressed concerns that the bills would undermine the architectural integrity of the internet and be ineffective or overly broad. At a congressional hearing on the bills, no technical experts were allowed to testify. The bills almost passed but were stopped after a large online protest from internet companies and users. The document argues a public policy framework is needed that respects the structural and functional integrity of the internet.
This document discusses privacy issues related to drones, IoT, and cross-border data regulations. It provides an overview of privacy laws and approaches in the US, EU, and Canada. The US takes a sectoral approach to privacy while the EU uses a comprehensive approach. Drones pose new privacy challenges regarding reasonable expectations of privacy. IoT devices increase risks of malfunctions, hacking, and privacy/security breaches. Risk from IoT will be greatest for first-generation devices. The document recommends identifying and minimizing privacy risks through measures like privacy impact assessments.

Critically discussion on the view that the government needs to track and store a citizen’s personal information in order to provide ‘a safe and secure society’ versus a citizen’s right to protect his/ her personal information
The Brazilian constitution ensures the right to privacy but there is no data protection law. After the Snowden leaks revealed US spying on Brazilians, President Dilma Rouseff urged the right to privacy at the UN and proposed solutions like an undersea cable connecting Brazil and Europe without US interference and requiring companies like Google and Microsoft to store Brazilian user data within Brazil. However, increasing control over the internet and requiring adequate monitoring of cross-border data raise questions about balancing privacy, intellectual property, and not hampering companies and innovation.

This document provides an overview and analysis of ethical issues related to Canada's Copyright Modernization Act. The summary discusses:
1) The Act aims to balance copyright holders' rights with public access to information but its provisions around digital locks and the public domain threaten this balance.
2) Digital locks could undermine fair use provisions and limit access to information, even for legal uses. They also do not prevent infringement.
3) The Act fails to adequately address works in the public domain and crown copyright, limiting access to important public information.
4) Restricting access to information through an overbroad use of digital locks and an unclear treatment of the public domain could negatively impact culture by limiting the creative works individuals can
This document summarizes a presentation on Facebook marketing and legal/regulatory compliance in Canada and the U.S. It discusses Canada's privacy laws, cases related to social media and privacy, and new developments. Key points include that Canada has a mix of federal and provincial privacy laws, the OPCC has investigated Facebook's practices, and the FTC has taken action against companies like Facebook and Twitter for deceiving consumers. Privacy rights continue evolving with potential new regulations in both countries.
To understand the significance of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, we must consider its history, the use, scope, and function of the Internet at the time of the Act’s inception, and the recurring nature which Congress amended the Act in order to keep up with the advancements of computer and computer-based communications.
We must also consider the evolution of precedence over the course of its history with respect to charges under the Act.
Further, we must address the root cause of the contentious nature of this Act as written, and look to other industry models which can assist in amending the Act according to contemporary use of computers, and the modern Internet.
The document discusses legal issues surrounding cloud computing and data access across borders. It summarizes the expansive reach of the US Patriot Act, which allows US authorities to subpoena business records from any company that has minimum contacts or possession of targeted data. While the Patriot Act is extraterritorial, EU position is that foreign laws cannot impose direct obligations on organizations in other countries. The document also discusses jurisdiction issues and examples of companies responding to Patriot Act concerns, as well as similar national security laws in other countries.
SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) was a controversial 2012 US bill that would have allowed the government and copyright holders to block access to websites containing copyrighted content. It used DNS blocking like methods used in China and Iran. Many major websites protested SOPA due to concerns it would censor the internet and limit free expression. Although supported by some, SOPA faced widespread opposition and was not passed into law.

This document discusses social media risks and related laws. It covers how conversations on social media can become publications with legal implications. Some key topics discussed include privacy risks from sharing personal information and companies monitoring employees' social media, intellectual property risks like copyright infringement, and defamation risks from making untrue statements about others. The document also examines how various laws like privacy acts, harassment laws, and intellectual property laws apply in the social media context.
The document discusses several cyber security issues related to increased internet usage. It notes that while the internet has provided benefits to sharing information, it has also enabled cyber crimes and threats to national security. One example is Wikileaks, which published confidential US national defense information and caused concern about information security. Additionally, the internet enables hacking, fraud, and spreading of objectionable content. Countries also use cyber espionage to obtain rivals' sensitive information. Overall, the document argues that while the internet facilitates connectivity, information security is a growing issue due to potential for misuse in criminal activities like identity theft and terrorism.
This document discusses data protection and risk mitigation under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI). It addresses key issues like identifying personal data and systems impacted by POPI, information security safeguards, records management policies, digital content and app ownership, and considerations for protecting young people's data. The document provides recommendations like conducting a POPI audit, appointing an information officer, and establishing policies regarding privacy, security, and intellectual property.
This document contains summaries of several reports from comScore on internet trends:
- The distribution of the worldwide internet audience has shifted dramatically since 1996, with Asia Pacific now the largest region and many emerging markets adopting broadband and mobile internet without fixed-line infrastructure.
- The average US internet user now spends over 32 hours online per month, going online 74 times and consuming over 2,700 pages of content. Social networking, online video, smartphone usage, and search have all grown significantly year-over-year.
- In the Middle East and Africa, total internet users grew over 10% in 2010 with some categories like career services and photos seeing nearly 30% growth, indicating rising internet adoption in emerging markets.
This document summarizes various privacy issues related to government surveillance and online advertising. It discusses a DOJ investigation of Megaupload.com, the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the US v. Jones Supreme Court decision, targeted online behavioral advertising, Facebook privacy policies and apps, the FTC's approach to online privacy, and recent US legislation regarding do-not-track options and online privacy protections. It also briefly touches on surveillance cameras in London and their impact on crime rates and public attitudes.
Data has emerged as one of the most important resources of today's world. However, there does not exist clear rules on how to make use of this resource. There are spillover effects and negative externalities in the form of privacy breaches while exploiting this resource. In such a situation, what should be the legal remedy?
The law should find a balance between the interests of the customers and the corporations. The customers want safety and privacy, whereas corporations want commercial use of data which risks the customer's interests.
Cybersecurity Legal and Compliance Issues Business & IT Leaders Must Know -- ...Shawn Tuma
This presentation was delivered by Shawn E. Tuma, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Attorney, to the Joint Meeting of ISACA and IIA North Texas on January 12, 2017.
This presentation was significantly updated from past presentations and included a discussion of the groundbreaking New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies.
The main points of this presentation are:
(1) Cybersecurity events create a crisis situation and should be treated as such;
(2) Cybersecurity incidents are as much legal events as they are IT or Business / Public Relations events;
(3) Companies must have a cybersecurity breach response plan in place and tested, in advance;
(4) While consumer class action data breach litigation is a significant threat to companies and their leadership, it is not as great of a threat as regulatory enforcement by agencies such as the FTC and SEC, or the shareholder derivative claims for officer and director liability; and
(5) The odds are that all company will be breached, but preparation and diligence can help minimize the likelihood that such a breach from being a catastrophic event.
This presentation addresses the role of attorneys as the first responders in leading their clients through cybersecurity and data loss crisis events. The discussion begins by looking at the risk business have of being the victim of a cybersecurity or data loss incident and examining the nature of such incidents and the crisis environment they create. Then, because of this crisis environment, the need for leadership in helping keep the parties calm, rational, and making deliberate, calculated decisions.
The discussion then explains why cybersecurity events are legal events and legal counsel is the natural leader that should fulfill this role and how they can do so. It will then discuss the process legal counsel will take, including assembling the key players in such an event, both internally and externally. It discusses the obligations for responding to such an event, the steps that must be taken, those that must be considered, and certain factors that go into the decision-making process. It briefly addresses the costs of such an incident and the liability issues that can arise from such an incident and failing to properly respond to the incident. This section includes a discussion of the cybersecurity lawsuit landscape, cybersecurity regulatory landscape, and the issue of cybersecurity-related officer and director liability stemming from shareholder derivative lawsuits based on cybersecurity incidents.
It concludes with a discussion of the steps that companies can take to prepare for and be in a better position to respond to and mitigate the negative repercussions of such an incident.

Cybersecurity Strategies - time for the next generationHinne Hettema
In this talk, presented in June 2016 at KAIST, I argue that it is time for the next generation of cybersecurity strategies. These must have a governance focus, and be based on international laws, declarations and agreements, basic internet rights and public good provisions.
This chapter discusses privacy and the right to privacy under the law. It outlines several key US privacy laws that protect personal information, including financial data privacy laws and health privacy laws. It also discusses issues around identity theft, consumer profiling, workplace monitoring, and advanced surveillance technologies. The chapter examines ethical issues around how organizations should treat consumer data responsibly. It concludes by discussing laws around freedom of expression online and efforts to control access to information, especially for minors.
All levels of society rely upon information technology systems. Network operations are pervasive and impact nearly every aspect of our society. The desire of companies to collect, use, store, and secure information about customers, employees, and other individuals is a requirement of the new economy. It is no wonder that the prevalence of electronic communications and a growing dependency on cyber structures and operations also create potential vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. It is critical to preserve information systems and address and prevent weaknesses in cyber protection efforts. This webinar examines the means for companies to reach data goals ethically, efficiently and legally. The panel will also discuss the evolving regulatory approaches of the European Union, United States Federal government and significant developments in U.S. state regimes, including California. Best practices and model comprehensive privacy and cybersecurity policies are discussed. And, data breach response and related litigation, including class action litigation issues and fiduciary duty violations under corporate law, are discussed.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Data Privacy and Security in the Digital age Ukraine - Patrick Bell
1. Data Privacy and Security in
the Digital Age: the Battle for
Balance
Patrick Bell
Ukrainian Bar Association
Kiev, Ukraine
July 2017
2. Why is Data Privacy and Security in the
Digital Era Important?
• Personal data collection and security are among the most salient
privacy issues at stake today.
• The amount of data created in just the last two years is more than all
data created before.
• The amount of data being created and stored is growing
exponentially.
• One estimate is that 1.7 megabytes of information is being created every
second
3. Importance cont’d
• This is not just funny cat videos of pictures of your vacation either
• Your most personal information including medical history and the
most intimate details of you and your family’s life are being stored in
cloud based servers that are located around the planet.
• In fact the largest data storage center on the planet, the Range
International Information hub is located in Langfang, China.
• At 6.3 Million square feet it is larger than the next four largest data centers
which are all located in the US.
4. Importance cont’d
• This concern is not a benign one either as Big Data companies have
been repeatedly fined for violations of data security and privacy
violations
• This is true regardless of wherever you live
• For example Apple was fined $32.5 Million, Google fined $22.5 Million in
2012 and $17 Million in 2013 by the US Federal Trade Commission and
Facebook was recently fined $164,000 in France in 2017 for violating privacy
rules.
• At the forefront of the fight is a battle to balance the rights of three
groups: individuals, corporations and governments
• This is also true in terms of the legal battle raging around the world, be
it in Europe or the United States over “safe harbor” regulations
5. US Law Perspective
• Unlike our European Counterparts US Data Privacy and Security is
approach from a slightly different perspective.
• Certain groups are seen as being vulnerable populations and thus in
need of increased protection.
• Emblematic of these groups are those are not able to give informed
consent to release of their personally identifying information (PII)
• One such group that has received special attention are children.
Especially those age under age 13.
6. Statutory Basis
• Statutorily the basis for this protection exists in the Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act ( COPPA ) (15 U.S.C. § 6501, et seq.)
• COPPA was enacted and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on
October 21, 1998
• The act provides four bases for this protection including:
7. Statutory Basis cont’d
(1) To enhance parental involvement in a child’s online activities in
order to protect the privacy of children in the online environment
(2) to help protect the safety of children in online fora such as chat
rooms, homepages, and pen-pal services in which children may make
public postings of identifying information
(3) to maintain the security of children’s personal information collected
online; and
(4) to limit the collection of personal information from children without
parental consent
8. Critical Sections of COPPA
• In this regard the critical sections of COPPA are § § 1303 and 1305 which
provides a prohibition and prosecution authority respectively
• Specifically:
• § 1303 prohibits “unfair and deceptive acts and practices in connection with
the collection and use of personal information from and about children on
the Internet”
• § 1303(b) provides a series of 5 requirements designed to enhance privacy
and mandates parental notification be given by sites who collect children’s
information and;
• § 1305 provides prosecutorial discretion for States’ Attorney’s General to
file actions in Federal Court
9. COPPA Rule
• To implement COPPA a federal rule, the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Rule was introduced at 16 CFR PART 312 by the Federal
Trade Commission
• This proposed rule was introduced on April 27, 1999 ( Fed Reg. Vol.
60 No. 80)
• There was significant debate about the rule, especially with regards
to reporting requirements
• Many business entities, especially small businesses, objected to the
reporting requirements as onerous
10. COPPA Rule cont’d
• Despite intense lobbying the COPPA rule went into force on April 21,
2000
• Now these rules apply not just to websites directed at children but
also to websites who know they are collecting data about children.
• This rule was amended on December 19, 2012 and the amended rule
became effective on July 1, 2013 which amended the meaning of the
term “operator” and simplified the direct notice requirements
11. What to do after it happens
• Despite COPPA and a raft of other laws the number of breaches continues
to increase both in quantity and severity
• It happens more than is publicly acknowledged
• The trend is so large that 33 of 50 state legislatures in the United States
have considered so called “Security Breach Notification Bills” or SBNBs in
2015
• At the federal level S. 177 was introduced by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) in
2015 but it did not make much headway and was not passed as of the last
Congressional Recess this Summer
12. What to do after it happens
( NCSL,2015)
• SBNBs typically require four elements in the model state statute
• “Require entities to report breaches to attorneys general or another
central state agency
• Expand the definition of "personal information" (e.g., to include
medical, insurance or biometric data) in cases of a security breach
• Require businesses or government entities to implement security
plans or various security measures
• Require educational institutions to notify parents or government
entities if a breach occurs.”
13. A Digital Bill of Rights
• Given the patchwork of protections and the obvious loopholes, many
have called for a “digital” bill of rights that would require companies
to notify customers when companies are going to sell their data to 3rd
parties.
• Trump recently signed a congressional resolution that repealed
measures that would have mandated that broadband providers notify
customers when they are going to sell their data to 3rd
party
marketers.
14. The New Frontier
• Regardless of what is happening on your desk or lap the new frontier
for data privacy and security is your smartphone
• There are nearly as many cell phones as there are people
• Nearly 7 billion phones with a current world population of 7.4 billion
• In fact there are more phones in Ukraine than the current population
of Ukraine with approximately 57.5 million phones and 46 million
people as of December 2013
15. Net Neutrality: the Final Frontier?
• This repeal of privacy regulation also calls into question rules on Net
Neutrality promulgated by the FCC
• Congress has recently asked the executives of the major Big Data
Companies ( Comcast, Facebook, Google, etc) to testify their regarding
position on proposed new Net Neutrality rules
• This could also have a big impact on data security and privacy regulations
passed in the last administration
•
16. What you can do
• Given all that has occurred in the last five years
• ( Snowden revelations, Wiki Leakes etc )
• Among the best things you can do to protect your privacy is use an
anonymized web browser like TOR ( the onion router) which provides a
completely private web search service.
• This is not a failsafe option however as both NSA and other government’s
routinely “ sniff “ the exit nodes of anonymized web browsers like TOR
• The best available option is to use a Virtual Private Network and to encrypt
your data as it goes into an anonymized web browser.
