The GDPR at Two: Expert Perspectives

Published: May 2020

The EU General Data Protection Regulation is celebrating its second anniversary May 25, 2020. For this special project, we asked leading voices in the data protection and privacy community to reflect about the past, present and future of the GDPR.

The following is the compilation of perspectives from policymakers, practitioners and academics around the world. Each author brings their unique point of view regarding what works well or less well in the regulation. The experts discuss the GDPR’s global impact, compliance and accountability, data protection by design, enforcement and consumer sentiments. Together, they create a rich quilt work of impressions and projections about the two years past and many years to come.
