LONDON, May19, 2022(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Increasingly, nation-states are imposing restrictions, increasing the pressure on the internet governance system established decades ago. Following the start of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict in February 2022, Russia erected digital barricades, widening the gulf between competing digital spheres. This gulf mirrors the distrust and dysfunction in international relations, from the risk of cyberattacks to increasing competition between the US and China, with the associated technology decoupling. Competing visions risk hindering the development of international governance across various digital segments, from cyberspace to internet infrastructure, to emerging technologies. This leaves severe regulatory gaps and increases security threats, as mechanisms to ensure data security, tackle cybercrime, and develop common ethical standards remain largely inadequate.
The Splinternet - Thematic Research Report offered by GlobalData Plc provides an overview of the splinternet theme. It identifies the key trends impacting the growth of the theme over the next 12 to 24 months, split into three categories: technology trends, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory trends.
Key Regulations Impacting the Splinternet Theme
The global data privacy landscape is fragmented into different regimes, increasing uncertainty for businesses facing various distinct compliance requirements. Ad-funded internet platforms have been forced to rethink strategies due to a shifting regulatory environment underpinned by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But regulators will not be appeased and will continue to scrutinize these companies, especially as they move to the metaverse, where a huge amount of personal data will be processed. Tech companies that make money selling hardware, software, and services instead of users’ data will not face any particular risks. Another source of uncertainty comes from the lack of agreement between the EU and the US on data transfers. Since the European Court of Justice (ECJ) declared the EU-US Privacy Shield invalid, companies are scrambling to find a legal way to transfer data.
