need our personal data. However, does our consent to use our data
really provide a carte blanche to use them for anything - and
interlink them with any data on our connected device? Do data and
privacy always have to be pitted against the principles of
competition and innovation? This session aims at discussing
different approaches to state-of-the-art consumer protection,
regulation and enforcement, its challenges and unseized potentials
with three internationally networked and renowned experts. We want
to look at consumer protection from the viewpoint of regulators,
civil society and consumer organizations as well as from private
sector. What is the European General Data Protection Regulation
about to bring to markets? What challenges shall be tackled with
the EU ePrivay-Regulation? What can we learn for consumer
protection enforcement from the “NetzDG” and the principle of
market place location? Which approaches have different countries
taken, what has been successful and what has failed? Are there
industry standards or useful self-regulation approaches? We live in
increasingly data-driven societies and economies fuelled by data
trackers in our pockets. Which is the data economy and society we
as sovereign citizens want to inhabit?
