What is the narrative we’re seeing around the Brussels Effect and what are some of its limitations? How do varying geopolitical environments impact data regulation? As deliberation around tech regulation and adoption of data governance frameworks increases globally, Dr. Ingrid Scheider shares her expertise on the German approach to this question and how it is linked to the EU’s take on it. We also explore developing trends in regulation of data across India, Brazil, Mexico and the EU, and differences in these approaches.
