The Game Process and Achievement of EU and US Cross Border Data Flow Rules

Abstract

In today's data-driven era, the governance of data rules has become a focal point for countries worldwide. This paper elucidates the significant differences between the United States and Europe, both major players in this domain, in terms of legislation and value positions. They also operate within distinct social data environments and possess varying national interest needs. These influence the direction and results of the game between the two sides in the data privacy framework. The paper also encompasses many far-reaching factors involved in this process, such as the political relationships between the United States and Europe, and the economic conditions on both sides. In the contest for dominance in data governance rules, the United States and Europe have been constantly interacting, refining regulations through ongoing friction, and to some extent, driving the development of the data industry. Meanwhile, the world still needs a more mature and stable regulatory framework for data governance rules, indicating the necessity for further significant progress in this area.
