Google calls for a law to protect global privacy

The leading Internet search service provider Google has officially voiced the government and businesses involved in developing the basic framework for privacy protection on the Internet.

Speaking to a conference organized by the United Nations, Peter Fleischer, director of Google's privacy protection, said it is because there is no universal standard set of rules. It can be said that Internet users are facing a lot of risks.

" Every time a user uses a credit card online, information about the card must be transmitted to six or seven countries to reach the goal ," Fleischer said.

The rapid development of the global network means that the amount of personal data that is frequently transmitted over the network also increases very quickly. This amount of information often goes through many countries that do not have enough data protection regulations, protecting users' privacy.

The statistics of Google show that up to three-quarters of countries worldwide do not yet have privacy protection. And those countries that have applied those regulations seem to apply only to the movement, following the development trend of the Internet.

For example, Europe has a very strict privacy protection regulation. But this regulation has been established since 1995. However, this regulation was only built before the strong development of e-commerce demand on the Internet.

In contrast, the United States is a large country with a wide Internet growth rate, but there is no regulation of protecting the privacy of the whole country. Each state has a different regulation.

' Not only that in countries that have privacy protection rules, each country goes in a different direction. The most disadvantaged here is people using the Internet because they don't know their interests well . '

Fleischer urged countries to agree to adopt the 9 principles of user protection and data approved by APEC. These rules have been applied in a range of countries from Australia to Vietnam.

' I fully believe that if privacy regulations have been developed by anyone in an association of countries such as APEC, they can be applied globally .'
