I actually jumped over here to see the reaction as soon as I read BI's article. Definitely more muted than I expected.

- a_bonobo 11y agoThere's a ton of research into genomic privacy, and some ideas where a third party hosts encrypted genomic data. The parties interested in the data don't see it, they send their query to the third party, the third party runs it and returns the results. However, it's yet unclear whether the transmission of the results ("your DNA of interest is contained in your person of interest's DNA") already counts as the transmission of personal data. I'd say it is personal data, making the whole enterprise moot.

- avmich 11y ago> “International data transfers are the lifeblood of the digital economy,” said Townsend Feehan, chief executive of IAB Europe, which represents online advertising companies including Google as well as small start-ups. The ruling “brings with it significant uncertainty as to the future possibility for such transfers.” A typical reaction for some, sigh. They can have all the certainty they want. Just stop transfers and they will be certainly stopped. But somehow I suspect it's actually not uncertainty which worries them.
