Die DSGVO sorgt dafür, dass die EU künftig anders behandelt wird als andere Länder und Märkte. Manche Unternehmen adaptieren die für die DSGVO notwendigen Prozesse global, andere entscheiden sich dafür, alles so zu lassen, wie es ist und IP-Adressen aus der EU zu blocken. Letztere Gruppe könnte die weitaus größere Gruppe werden.
Die EU und ihre DSGVO liegen dabei gut im Trend. Ein globaler Trend sind lokale Regularien, die dem Internet direkt oder indirekt seinen globalen Charakter nehmen
Die Financial Times (Paywall, naturally) über das Thema:
As a Scania truck is driven through the EU, a small box sends diagnostic data — speed, fuel use, engine performance, even driving technique — to the company’s headquarters in Sweden. The information adds to a vast international database that helps owners manage the servicing of their fleet and Scania improve the manufacturing of the next generation of vehicles.
“The world is moving towards an autonomous, electrified transport system, and that needs data,” says Hakan Schildt of Scania’s connected services operation. “Transport is becoming a data business.”
In China, however, which severely restricts international transfers of data, the company incurs extra costs setting up local data storage and segregating some of the information from the rest of its operations. Many countries are imposing similar, if less drastic, restrictions. “We are having to regionalise a lot of our operations and set up local data processing,” Mr Schildt says. “National legislation is always changing.”
Es geht eben nicht nur um Social Networks und Blogs. Auch Zukunftsthemen wie die sich verändernde Transportbranche sind betroffen.
China ist hier ganz vorn dabei..:
China’s Great Firewall has long blocked most foreign web applications, and a cyber security law passed in 2016 also imposed rules against exporting personal information, forcing companies including Apple and LinkedIn to hold information on Chinese users on local servers. Beijing has also given itself a variety of powers to block the export of “important data” on grounds of reducing vaguely defined economic, scientific or technological risks to national security or the public interest.
..und vielleicht am konsequentesten:
“The likelihood that any company operating in China will find itself in a legal blind spot where it can freely transfer commercial or business data outside the country is less than 1 per cent,” says ECIPE director Hosuk Lee-Makiyama.
The results look impressive: China has some of the biggest tech businesses in the world, including Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, and is establishing strong positions in new sectors like AI. But economists say China’s service sector growth has so far been insufficient to mitigate the slowdown in manufacturing, and restrictions on digitalisation will not help. The US Chamber of Commerce says that further data localisation will reduce Chinese GDP by a total of between 1.8-3.4 per cent by 2025.
Aber neben der EU und China sind auch andere Länder dabei, aus unterschiedlichsten Gründen Regulierungen voranzutreiben:
Other emerging markets, such as Russia, India, Indonesia and Vietnam, are also leading data localisers. Russia has blocked LinkedIn from operating there after it refused to transfer data on Russian users to local servers.
Wenn Daten das neue Öl sind, dann werden gerade überall Pipelines zerstört.
