U.S. and Europe: Diverging Views on Data Handling and Privacy

Where privacy is concerned, Americans distrust their government. But they'll gladly hand over their personal information to a corporation to get a deal on their groceries.

Europeans, on the other hand, will give their government extremely broad surveillance powers, but they largely forbid private enterprise from accessing any personal data without their express written consent. In the corporate security world, this has translated into an ideological disconnect: U.S. executives think Europeans are missing the marketing opportunity personal data provides, and the Europeans, by and large, see their American counterparts as fast and loose--callous even--when it comes to their citizens' privacy.

The result is that America is looking more and more like the Old Country, at least when it comes to privacy. The link for this article located at CSO is no longer available. .
