General Session
Description
In the new global privacy era with significant changes in privacy expectations, technology and the law, digital governance is a business as well as legal and compliance imperative. This session will explore considerations around new privacy requirements—by law or industry standard—and whether more robust privacy obligations necessarily will impede innovation, economic growth, or user convenience, and even privacy norms. Discussion will also explore various theories of privacy harms, and the cost/benefit analysis considerations for privacy legislation, regulation and enforcement. Panelists will include FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson, the Director of the Center for Democracy and Technology’s Privacy and Data Project Michelle Richardson, and Professor Anita Allen, an internationally renowned expert on privacy law and ethics from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The panel will be moderated by Colleen Brown, partner in the Privacy and Cybersecurity group of Sidley Austin, LLP.
