Panelists probe why differing views of privacy, internet regulation, and the meaning of enforceability
On November 18, Salzburg Global presented a special program at the National Public Radio (NPR) Headquarters in Washington, DC. Panelists from The New York Times, the Delegation of the E.U. to the U.S., NPR and The New Republic probed why Europeans and Americans have different views of privacy, whether internet regulation can be reconciled across borders, and the meaning and enforceability of the recent ruling of the European Court of Justice in the Costeja case.
The program is introduced by Paul Haaga Jr., former Acting President of NPR and former Salzburg Global Board member, and Stephen Salyer, President and CEO of Salzburg Global Seminar.
Listen below to hear what one well-placed member of the audience said was "the most illuminating treatment of this subject I have heard or read."
