Key Points

• Currently, privacy and data protection lack international (as opposed to regional) regulation in large part because of the diverging values of various countries.
• Often the laws of various countries may impose conflicting obligations that so far have been addressed via ad hoc agreements.
• Despite calls for international convergence to avoid them, both in and out of academia, little progress has been achieved in practice.
• This article argues for an alternative model of international privacy regulation based on the use of layered links that are reflective of the different views of states on data protection regulation.

分层链接模型：国际隐私监管的替代方法

关键点

• 当前，隐私和数据保护缺乏国际（相对于区域性）法规，这在很大程度上是由于各国的价值观差异。
• 迄今为止，各个国家/地区的法律可能会施加相冲突的义务，而这些义务迄今为止已通过临时协议解决。
• 尽管在学术界内外都呼吁进行国际融合来避免这种情况，但在实践中几乎没有取得任何进展。
• 本文提出了一种基于分层链接的国际隐私法规替代模型，该层次链接反映了国家在数据保护法规方面的不同观点。
