SV: [Privsec] Response: Consumer Protection and privacy

[Rikke Frank Joergensen]

.. and if the WGIG agree that HR are the benchmark by which any IG mechanism should be measured (which seem to be the current line).. then naturally the level of data protection (by private or public party) must be measured and comply with HR/privacy standards.

Cute response.  He takes a stupid view of privacy that no one will accept 
as useful.

Sorry, I should be more clear and less angry (early in the morning).  He 
tries to take a comprehensive view of privacy and then focus on the private 
sector but he draws the wrong lines and misunderstands both the 
comprehensive view and the private sector implications.

He is going to have to wake up and realise that he just does not understand 
the issue well enough.

As for the internet-governance aspects of privacy, a case can be made that 
every aspect of privacy is governance related.  But I imagine he is going 
to focus on the fake conflict that he constructed between 'those few 
countries with privacy regulations' and 'the many without'.  This is not 
how the world works anymore.

Keep well...

n.b. I find it cute that he calls us 'privacy advocates'.  Most of the time 
our comments are not 'advocacy' points, but more just fixing plain mistakes.
