I see that the point about countries not being allowed to require local storage because
>These provisions will support the Internet’s open architecture and make it more difficult for TPP countries to block Internet sites -- so that users have access to a web that is global, not just local.
I do however believe that there is a aspect that has been overlooked here.
Many cooperations, private and governmentally controlled, handle sensitive data.
Having a SLA with Microsoft, Amazon or Google that states that this highly sensitive data is ONLY to be stored in specific data centers is the only way for a lot of non flexible IT departments to regain some control over their data.
This is a widely popular demand. I can only see this as the "X eyes" with USA in charge removing one more hurdle in their way to total information control.
- fraserharris 10y agoTPP binds governments from requiring local data storage, not private contracts.
- syoc 10y agoThank you for clarifying. The argumentation still stands though.
- jonknee 10y agoNot really, there's a big difference between state enforced rules about where data can be and client requested rules.
- tremon 10y agoExcept that in a functioning democracy, state-enforced rules are client requests from an entire population.
- jonknee 10y agoIt's nice to have the freedom to store your data where you'd like.
- tremon 10y agoIt's nice to know my business relations store my data where I'd like them to.
- patrickaljord 10y agoWell then pick business relations that do so, that's what private contracts are for.
- jonknee 10y agoYes, which you can specify in your vendor agreement (and will be able to after TPP).
- patrickaljord 10y agoNot the entire population, only a small majority, and I'm being generous.
- jeremycw 10y agoDo you happen to know which countries involved in the partnership require local storage of data?
