Big data, big problems? At the 2017 China-EU School of Law Academic Conference “Personal Data Protection in Times of Big Data” in Beijing on 3 November 2017, legal scholars and entrepreneurs from China and Europe will examine the legal challenges massive data collection poses to the protection of personal data. In speeches and panels, they will ask questions such as: Who owns collected data? How safe are databases? How can personal data be protected? What data can be analysed? Which legal framework can regulate this? China’s 2017 Cybersecurity Law and the EU’s 2018 General Data Protection Regulation play a key role in this debate.
