This article provides an in-depth analysis of data privacy practices. In particular, it states that data privacy statutes around the globe are no longer fit for purpose and that the “often misdescribed ‘gold standard’” of GDPR is not the solution either.
Furthermore, it states that the adoption of the ACCC’s Digital Platforms Inquiry’s recommendations, and other proposals for revising the Privacy Act 1988, will not fix existing issues. The resource goes on to state that it is important to return to basics and redraft statutes to protect the rights and interests of individuals to live their lives without “excessive intrusion upon reasonable expectations of seclusion.”
