FTC Commissioner Brill Enlightens Audience at Proskauer's Annual Privacy Event
On October 19, 2010, speaking at the annual Proskauer on Privacy conference, the Federal Trade Commission's newest Commissioner, Julie Brill, had a lot to say about self-regulation, teen privacy and other FTC privacy initiatives. Commissioner Brill also commented upon the need to "re-think" privacy in order to keep pace with today's technologically advanced society. According to Commissioner Brill, both the Notice and Choice model and the Harm model rely on a theoretical distinction between personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information that is "increasingly out of touch with technological advances that allow previously non-identifiable data to be 're-identified.'" In addition, she said, "traditional privacy frameworks have not been sufficient to promote competition based on privacy." So exactly how do we re-think privacy, and what will that mean for all of us?
