ABSTRACT A serious dilemma for regulators of the Internet is to ensure that data providers secure the informed consent of digital consumers before accessing and transmitting their personal data. An economic dilemma for Internet regulators is to recognize the economic costs to data providers of informing data consumers about the nature and consequences of consenting to the use of their personal data, while preventing data users from eroding the privacy of those consumers. In issue, too, is a self-management model in which consent to the use of personal data is managed by data subjects and data users, even if the latter dictate the terms of that usage. A further issue relates to the external regulation that oversee how data is managed. This includes a primary framework with which data users must comply. This article will address these issues in the dynamic and evolving sector of data protection across the global economy. It will argue for greater legal consistency and harmonization in the law governing consent to the use of personal data, in defining the nature of that consent, and in devising a regulatory framework that takes account of the cognitive capacities and behaviour of data consumers.

数字同意和数据保护法——欧洲和亚太地区的经验

摘要 互联网监管机构面临的一个严重困境是确保数据提供者在访问和传输他们的个人数据之前获得数字消费者的知情同意。互联网监管机构面临的一个经济困境是承认数据提供者将同意使用其个人数据的性质和后果告知数据消费者的经济成本，同时防止数据用户侵蚀这些消费者的隐私。同样存在争议的是一种自我管理模式，在该模式中，对个人数据使用的同意由数据主体和数据用户管理，即使后者规定了使用条款。另一个问题与监督数据管理方式的外部法规有关。这包括数据用户必须遵守的主要框架。本文将在全球经济中动态和不断发展的数据保护领域解决这些问题。它将主张在管理同意使用个人数据的法律、定义该同意的性质以及制定考虑到数据消费者的认知能力和行为的监管框架方面实现更大的法律一致性和协调性。
