Focus on Data Flow Legislation Should Be Strong Security, Privacy Requirements for All Companies Handling User Data
Bloomberg Law, February 7, 2024
By Riley Griffin and Jennifer Jacobs
Aaron Cooper, senior vice president of global policy for BSA |The Software Alliance, which counts Microsoft Corp. and Salesforce Inc. among its members, said the executive order would set a new precedent from the US, for the first time restricting the transfer of data to specific locations. He said regulation should instead focus on creating strong security and privacy requirements for all companies handling user data, regardless of whether it’s stored domestically or in a country of concern.
“There’s a really good reason why the US government, for as long as I’m aware, has been a strong proponent of data flows,” Cooper said. He said that US limits on data transfers to foreign countries could set a precedent that emboldens other nations to limit access to data.
