In this webinar recorded on May 22, 2020, Samm Sacks, a senior fellow at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center and Cybersecurity Policy Fellow at New America, spoke with Professor Jose Alvarez, USALI’s lead faculty advisor, about the struggle among governments to determine who can access our digital data and how it can be used. This struggle is playing out chiefly among the United States, European Union and China, with each seeking to ensure its own access to data that is vital to national security and economic growth, while restricting the access of rivals. Ms. Sacks recommended that the United States adopt a policy of “openness with conditions,” be more aggressive at protecting the data that really matters and avoid data nationalism.
