- What arguments did the NPR panelists make in favor and against the idea of adopting similar legislation in the USA?
in favor
It’s in the constitution. Giving people right to protect their privacy
against
Data controller is not someone who collects information for private use. It is the record of what people actively did.
- Where do you stand? Should we have similar legislation in the US? What would be the benefits and what would be the drawbacks?
I think we should have the similar legislation in the US.
The benefits would be that people have the right to choose what they want to show to people and have more the feeling of security. It’s not about what we want to hide. It’ s about privacy. I think it is is the basic right that we, as human, should have .
The drawback is that setting the law would be very controversial and and difficult. It is difficult to draw a line between privacy and democracy. Some people ,like public figures, they have to have the records for people to know the truth and to understand more.
