On December 11, 2018, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI) released its final report “Democracy Under Threat: Risks and Solutions in the Era of Disinformation and Data Monopoly”. The Report calls for increased regulation on the Internet.

Dentons and the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), an international organization created 60 years ago to assert the rule of law as a matter of democracy, invite you to a complimentary all-day  conference that will address the specific challenges and solutions that arise in this context.

Topics will include:

  • Legal disruption: Impact of digital on the existing regulatory framework
  • From lock and key to encryption – Applying privacy law on digital
  • Can data monopolies exist within privacy and competition law?
  • The particular case of e-commerce
  • Are Internet giants the guardians of democracy on the Internet?
