I’m on a plane flying back from this year’s ACC (Association of Corporate Counsel) Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, which, as usual, delivered four days’ worth of excellent sessions and food for thought. The hottest topic by far was data privacy, especially in light of the NSA revelations this week.
Globalization and Data Privacy
Almost all of the panel sessions that I attended [e.g., on
social media, government investigations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(FCPA)] touched on the topic of privacy in one way or another. The primary driving
force behind this topic’s heat factor, however, is the increasingly global
nature of business today.
