On this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal discuss a hot week in privacy! Topics include the amendment of Colorado’s privacy act to include protecting children, CT’s AI bill did not pass, but the TikTok bill was rolled not a foreign aid bill. ByteDance is ordered to divest themselves of TikTok by January 19, 2025 with the allowance for a 90 days extension. But Bytedance has already filed a suit in the DC Court of Appeals and no matter what the outcome is, it will likely be appealed to the US Supreme Court - so regardless of constitutional arguments, it likely won’t see action as long as it moves through the court system. Germany appointed a new data protection commissioner. We also discussed Global CBPRs and BCRs - along with guidance from the CNIL on BCRs. There was developments about the EU Council approved a protocol for the freeflow of data in Japan and in Kenya, there was also a big privacy event because the Pan African Network of Data Protection Authorities held their annual general meeting and as part of that event Kenya's cabinet secretary for ICT and digital economy called for digital sovereignty and data governance in Africa.A lot happened this week and this only scrapes the surface!
