While there is general agreement that Internet intermediaries have a minimal responsibility for information published by users, for data protection the analysis is very different. These companies routinely collect vast amounts of information about users and also frequently the targets of law enforcement investigations. This panel will explore the responsibility of platform providers to assume some data protection responsibilities.

12:30 Luncheon / Keynote
"Do Consumers Have Citizen's Rights?"
Jacob Kohnstamm, Chairman of the Article 29 Working Party
14:00 "EU-US Trade Discussion: Will the United States be Given a Free Pass on Privacy Again?"
The EU and the United States have recently begun negotiations over a new trade agreement, called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. EU officials have stated that data protection will not be covered by the agreement, but that (transborder) data flows will. Digital industries have also called for inclusion of personal data flows into this trade agreement, while privacy advocates maintain that international rules for such data transfers already exist, and that the United States should ratify Council of Europe Privacy Convention 108. Meanwhile, there are questions about the adequacy of the EU-US Safe Harbor and plans to review it.
