Cross‑border data transfer: patterns and discrepancies

This podcast discusses the complexities of cross-border data transfer regulations among major economies like the EU, the U.S., and China, highlighting how differing laws create challenges for multinational companies. It emphasizes that while each region has its own approach—focusing on privacy, market freedom, or national security—there is a growing need for a balanced global framework to facilitate data movement. The podcast calls for further research and international collaboration to address these regulatory discrepancies and promote effective data governance.
