Although directly focused on search engines, this key judgment has wider implications. Sessions will explore not only the future of search engines’ data protection obligations but also the general shape of EU regulation of the internet, questions related to jurisdiction and applicable law and the historic pathway to the Google Spain judgment. This conference will be of interest to scholars of law, sociology and political science as well as computer scientists interested in the governance framework for technology, and its implications for the design of code.
Confirmed speakers/panellists include Professor Artemi Rallo Lombarte (former Director of the Spanish Data Protection Authority), William Malcolm (Senior Privacy Counsel at Google), Eduardo Ustaran (Partner, Hogan Lovells), David Smith (UK Deputy Information Commissioner) and Professor Dr. Johannes Caspar (Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information). Wilem Debeuckelaere, President of the Belgium Privacy Commission, will deliver a keynote presentation on the changing landscape for search engines after Google Spain.
