Global Data Governance Overview

When the EU passed the General Data Protection Regulation in 2016, it immediately cemented 2016 as a landmark year in both data governance and the internet itself, due to the gargantuan implications of one of the world’s foremost economies passing actual, substantive data regulations in light of the discovery that major companies were recklessly sharing user data with third parties for profit.

With a flurry of data regulation legislation either passing or coming into the mainstream conversation over the past year, 2021 will also go down as a watershed for data governance and the internet as we know it. As of now, countries both big and small from every inhabited continent on the planet have turned to data regulations to both protect their citizens’ data and to catch up with the evolution of the internet, trying to morph the sphere into a more manageable entity.

In 2021 alone, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kuwait, the UAE, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan all passed either laws or amendments to laws on data protection regulations. Meanwhile, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam all have comprehensive data protection bills pending, with all the latter two expected to become law within the next 6 months.

China’s Great Firewall is simply too large and hasslesome a project for all but the world’s most powerful economies, but the comprehensive Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), which took effect on November 1st, signals a shift in the internet governance landscape.

India has also continued to talk about comprehensive data law, showcasing a potential turning point in the country’s approach to data regulations.

Globally, data governance became a major topic in 2021, with many nations rapidly trying to legislate data protection to address concerns.

The ground made around the world by governments in 2021 on the matter will be remembered as one of the most noteworthy periods for data legislation.
