Good morning, and welcome to today's hearing addressing the important and increasingly complicated issue of pri- vacy on the Internet. It has been no secret that throughout my career in the U.S. Sen- ate, I have advocated and sought policies that encourage and foster the development of new and better technologies. Included among them are medical technologies that help to improve the health of Americans and information technologies that bring distance learn- ing to many who live in rural areas in Utah and across the Nation. The Internet's explosive growth promises to impact every aspect of our daily life, as it provides the public with useful and often vital information and literary content immediately at the mere click of a mouse. Internet technology will play an important role in educating the population through distance learning and through the general de- livery of information. The Internet will also continue to play an in- creasingly larger role in our daily entertainment, whether it is through the delivery of movies and music over the Internet or through the ability to play video games with a network of literally millions of players across the globe. During the last session of Congress, I worked with my colleagues on this committee in a bipartisan manner to act on a number of matters aimed at fostering the growth of the Internet and promot- ing a competitive environment in this new digital environment. First, this committee won passage of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which put in place the most significant revisions to the U.S. copyright law since the enactment of the 1976 Copyright Act. I consider that one of the most important bills of the whole last session. (1) VerDate 11-MAY-2000 13:11 Jan 04, 2001 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 APRIL21.TXT SJUD2 PsN: SJUD2 2 Second, the Judiciary Committee initiated the still ongoing, thor- ough public examination of important issues affecting competition and innovation in the digital marketplace. In addition, the commit- tee also provided legislative assistance to industry in our national effort to prepare for the Y2K problem by crafting and passing legis- lation to allow businesses and local governments to share Y2K re- mediation information with limited fear of liability. During this session of Congress, I intend to continue working on legislative and oversight efforts that address new policy changes of the Internet and the new digital revolution. Today's hearing is the first this committee has held on the issue of consumer privacy on the Internet. Given the complex nature of this issue and all of the various policy considerations involved, I do not expect this to be our last hearing on this issue. Any revolutionary, paradigm-shifting technology presents govern- ment with new and significant policy changes and challenges. The Internet is no exception. I recently read that earlier in this century there were concerns about the sale of automobiles to the public as it provided crooks with a tool to escape the police. Luckily, we found a way to address this automobile, ``concern.'' It is my hope that we can do the same for any concerns that surround the Inter- net. As Americans spend more of their lives on the Internet, they are more concerned about the ability of Web sites, both government and commercial, to track their, ``digital steps.'' There is no question that in order for the Internet to reach its maximum potential as a viable avenue for transacting commerce, consumers must be as- sured that personally identifiable information that is collected on- line is afforded adequate levels of protection. But the question re- mains how do we best do that. How do we do it without chilling the development of new technologies or the expansion of the mar- ketplace? There have already been over 50 legislative proposals offered this session addressing privacy. I have been skeptical of most proposals to date, as

  • Internet: an Overview of Key Technology Policy Issues Affecting Its Use and Growth
    Order Code 98-67 STM CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Internet: An Overview of Key Technology Policy Issues Affecting Its Use and Growth Updated December 29, 2004 Marcia S. Smith, John D. Moteff, Lennard G. Kruger, Glenn J. McLoughlin, Jeffrey W. Seifert, and Patricia Moloney Figliola Resources, Science, and Industry Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Internet: An Overview of Key Technology Policy Issues Affecting Its Use and Growth Summary The growth of the Internet may be affected by a number of issues being debated by Congress. This report summarizes several key technology policy issues. 1. Internet privacy issues encompass concerns about information collected by website operators and by “spyware,” and about the extent to which law enforcement officials are allowed to monitor an individual’s Internet activities. Congress has passed several laws already, but continues to debate what other legislation may be needed. 2. Concerns about computer and Internet security are prevalent in both the government and private sectors. Issues have also been raised about the vulnerability of the nation’s critical infrastructures (e.g. electrical power supply) to cyber attacks. Issues for Congress include oversight and improvement of the protection of federal computer systems and cooperation with and between the private sectors. 3. Broadband Internet access gives users the ability to send and receive data at speeds far greater than current Internet access over traditional telephone lines. With deployment of broadband technologies beginning to accelerate, Congress is seeking to ensure fair competition and timely broadband deployment to all sectors and geographical locations of American society.

Smith, John D. Moteff, Lennard G. Kruger, Glenn J. McLoughlin, and Jeffrey W. Seifert Resources, Science, and Industry Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Internet: An Overview of Key Technology Policy Issues Affecting Its Use and Growth Summary The growth of the Internet may be affected by a number of issues being debated by the 107th Congress. This report summarizes several key technology policy issues under consideration. 1. Individuals and businesses considering whether to use the Internet are increasingly concerned about Internet privacy, particularly the privacy of personally identifiable information collected by Web site operators. Congress is debating whether industry self-regulation will solve these problems, or if legislation is needed. 2. Concerns about computer security are prevalent both in the government and private sectors. Concerns have also been raised about the vulnerability of the nation’s critical infrastructures (e.g. electrical power supply) to cyber attacks. Issues for the 107th Congress include oversight and improvement of the protection of federal computer systems and cooperation with and between the private sectors. 3.

  • Global Data Privacy: the Eu Way
    41674-nyu_94-4 Sheet No. 99 Side A 10/04/2019 07:34:32 \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\94-4\NYU406.txt unknown Seq: 1 3-OCT-19 13:53 GLOBAL DATA PRIVACY: THE EU WAY PAUL M. SCHWARTZ* EU data protection law is playing an increasingly prominent role in today’s global technological environment. The cornerstone of EU law in this area, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is now widely regarded as a privacy law not just for the EU, but for the world. In the conventional wisdom, the EU has become the world’s privacy cop, acting in a unilateral fashion and exercising de facto influ- ence over other nations through its market power. Yet, understanding the forces for convergence and divergence in data privacy law demands a more nuanced account of today’s regulatory environment. In contrast to the established narrative about EU power, this Article develops a new account of the diffusion of EU data protection law. It does so through case studies of Japan and the United States that focus on how these countries have negotiated the terms for international data transfers from the EU. The resulting account reveals the EU to be both collaborative and innovative. Three important lessons follow from the case studies. First, rather than exercising unilateral power, the EU has engaged in bilateral negotiations and accommodated varied paths for non-EU nations to meet the GDPR’s “adequacy” requirement for international data transfers. Second, while the adequacy requirement did provide significant leverage in these negotiations, it has been flexibly applied throughout its history.

  • Authentication Privacy Principles Working Group
    Authentication Privacy Principles Working Group Interest in authentication systems has increased dramatically over the last two years. But widespread adoption of the technologies will only occur if individuals trust that strong privacy and security protections have been built into authentication systems. The recent release of Microsoft XP and its expanded use of Passport, along with the release of the Liberty Alliance 2.0 specification, have intensified the focus on authentication technologies and the questions they raise about privacy and security. The development of e-government services has begun to focus partly on plans to develop authentication systems to enhance citizen-centered government. However, ongoing discussions about government use of authentication systems raise concerns about government use of personal information and the creation of a centralized identity system or card. New technologies for authentication make possible greater realization of the Internet’s potential by making online transactions more seamless, tying together information on multiple devices, enabling yet unimagined services and taking us a few steps closer to a pervasive computing society. However, many authentication systems will collect and share personally identifiable information, creating privacy and security risks. To mitigate these risks, it is essential that authentication systems be designed to support effective privacy practices and offer individuals greater control over their personal information. Through a consultative process a working group comprised of companies and public interest groups has drafted basic privacy principles that should be considered in the design and implementation of authentication systems. These principles could be used by companies developing authentication systems for guidance in building privacy and security protections into authentication technologies to use in consumer initiated transactions and government services.
