    Description: This panel will continue a discussion on whether privacy and data protection are really culture and generation dependent as it is often claimed; is it really the case that some countries/communities are more tolerant to privacy invasions and sharing data than others? And what are the diverse public international views on privacy?

In other words do various legislative measures/ implementation approaches reflect cultures/reality?
