There's no such thing here. The problem is compounded by an essential ambivalence about how we deal with the issues of privacy in this country, both in law and in society in general, said Tim Gleason, a journalism and communications professor from the University of Oregon. He noted that the right to keep information private is more closely guarded in this country when it is collected by the government than by private entities. Drawing a distinction between whether control of personal information is a matter of privacy or of property rights is an important question, he added. The two sides of the Atlantic also differ radically in the way they grant fundamental rights to corporations versus than individuals, Venturelli said.
Legal entities have the same rights as humans.
It is the result of a decision of the Supreme Court. We have irreconcilable tax regimes, but I don't necessarily see that as a foreign policy problem right now because we have the same issues between the individual states and the federal government. Instead of fighting with each other to see whose laws are going to win out, we have to rethink the whole definition of the regulatory code, and stop having these strategic battles of your laws versus our laws and Singapore's laws and China's laws. Dispute resolution is one way of looking at these things, so that nobody's laws apply. Wired Digital Inc. All rights reserved.
