In 2018, privacy and data security crossed a number of
thresholds. In the public mind, through high-profile data breaches
and revelations about unexpected uses of personal information,
questions of privacy became much more salient. In the legal and
regulatory arena, both the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy
Act became clear catalysts for a global transformation in the
coming years of privacy practices. Finally, new technologies
suggest that flux and complexity we are currently experiencing will
continue, as we face new challenges and new threats to privacy.
