Rule of Law Rules #6: “When We Think about the Future, We Have to Think About Data Participation”

Abstract

“Rule of Law Rules” is our podcast on Rule of Law in the age of digitalization from the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. The host of the podcast is Dr Angela Daly, a socio-legal scholar of digital technology. In each episode she interviews one international expert about the opportunities and challenges for human rights in the digital age. We will gain insights into recent developments from different parts of the world. For the last episode of our first series “Data Protection”, we went to Asia and took a closer look at the Southeast with Dr Lee San Natalie Pang, our expert on Data Protection. Natalie is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Communications and New Media, National University of Singapore. Her research centers on the intersection of technology and society, and her research projects are organized under the themes of digital citizenship, digital equity and well-being, digital humanities and data cultures in smart cities. We spoke to her on the General Data Protection Regulation and its influence on the region.
