Can the European and American privacy divide be bridged? Bilyana Petkova, in this issue, offers compelling reasons to be sceptical. One recent solution, advanced by Pierluigi Perri and David Thaw, is that common concerns about chilling effects can bridge that divide. However, their discussion of chilling effects was narrow and their analysis limited to procedural transatlantic convergence. This essay explores this idea with a more systematic and sustained discussion of chilling effects theory and research, while arguing that chilling effects does, in fact, provide possibilities for substantive transatlantic privacy. I argue that “chilling effects” is often treated as an ahistorical singular idea but there are, in fact, three separate paradigms of chilling effects theory, research and understanding: (1) speech; (2) privacy and autonomy; and (3) collectivist. I set out each and argue that the conceptualisation of chilling effects exemplified by the second paradigm—focused on privacy‐related chilling effects—offers a shared normative and theoretical foundation to bridge the transatlantic privacy divide. I also explore how new chilling effects theory and research can impact substantive and procedural transatlantic privacy efforts, including re‐thinking consent; empowering stronger judicial enforcement of privacy claims; and balancing competing claims in substantive proposals like the Right to be Forgotten (RTBF)

寒蝉效应和跨大西洋隐私

欧美隐私鸿沟能否弥合？Bilyana Petkova 在这个问题上提供了令人信服的怀疑理由。最近由 Pierluigi Perri 和 David Thaw 提出的一个解决方案是，人们普遍关注的冷效应可以弥合这种分歧。然而，他们对寒蝉效应的讨论范围很窄，他们的分析仅限于程序性的跨大西洋融合。本文通过对寒蝉效应理论和研究的更系统和持续的讨论来探讨这一想法，同时认为寒蝉效应确实为实质性的跨大西洋隐私提供了可能性。我认为“寒蝉效应”通常被视为一个非历史的单一概念，但事实上，寒蝉效应理论、研究和理解存在三个独立的范式：（1）言语；(2) 隐私和自主权；(3) 集体主义者。我列出了每一个，并认为第二种范式所体现的寒蝉效应的概念化——专注于与隐私相关的寒蝉效应——提供了一个共同的规范和理论基础来弥合跨大西洋隐私鸿沟。我还探讨了新的寒蝉效应理论和研究如何影响实质性和程序性的跨大西洋隐私工作，包括重新考虑同意；加强对隐私主张的司法执法；并平衡诸如“被遗忘权”（RTBF）等实质性提案中的相互竞争的主张 我还探讨了新的寒蝉效应理论和研究如何影响实质性和程序性的跨大西洋隐私工作，包括重新考虑同意；加强对隐私主张的司法执法；并平衡诸如“被遗忘权”（RTBF）等实质性提案中的相互竞争的主张 我还探讨了新的寒蝉效应理论和研究如何影响实质性和程序性的跨大西洋隐私工作，包括重新考虑同意；加强对隐私主张的司法执法；并平衡诸如“被遗忘权”（RTBF）等实质性提案中的相互竞争的主张
