Notable Quotes:
“The sovereignty of data refers to the fact that no matter where the data moves, across borders, you still apply the laws of the country where the organization is based.”
The term is I’ve talked briefly about the fourth industrial revolution, and you’ve got these data driven technologies, and all of them are predicated on an ability to access and process data, and they need that free flow of data across borders.
“Step number 1 is we’ve got this broad global move by governments to kind of aggregate data and keep control of it.”
“All of this, again, is created in this concept of sovereignty where the data’s ours, and you can’t send it out our region unless x, y, and zed happens.”
