I would like tentatively to share the insights and commentary by Mr. James Andrew Lewis, senior vice president and director of the Strategic Technologies Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, DC.
It’s good to have a strong sense of self-worth but sometimes it can go too far. A January 2022 ruling by the Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) is an example of this. The DSB ruled that the use of Google Analytics by an Austrian health website violates the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as it exports visitors’ data to servers in the United States, which the DSB believes opens the door for monitoring of individuals by “U.S. intelligence services.”
