[PASSED] Protecting Personal Data

[Marxist Germany]

“Quite frankly, if this passes as-is, it will need to be repealed and redrafted, in my humble opinion.”

'Agreed, ambassador. Which is why we've voted against this proposal. Much better for it to fail and the author wait a while and submit a much improved version than for it to pass and then the whole effort of a repeal and replace to be gone through. Unfortunately, most World Assembly ambassadors do not debate here. We'll have to wait and see.'

"Agreed ambassador, but I guess someone's going to have to repeal it in this case."

[Blakenham]

"We welcome and support the fundamental ideas and morals behind this resolution - however, we will be voting against this resolution and encourage other WA members to do the same. We believe the provisions within the resolution are too detailed for the application across all WA member states and restricts member nations from carrying out nationally lawful surveillance activities due to Article 2, subsection 3. The provision in this resolution which allows for governments to view the data of a user which a business holds is limited to "where information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a search warrant has been issued." It does not consider instances where, for instances dealing with terrorism and extremism, data may be needed in the prevention of crime where a criminal investigation or trial has not been opened, during heightened or national emergencies in which a search warrant may prevent law enforcement or government agencies from preventing crime in Goodspeed in which warrants may not be able to be issued quickly - as it does not consider varying legal systems across nation states. "

"Why should any government spy on it's citizens without their consent or a search warrant?"

"Why should any government spy on it's citizens without their consent or a search warrant?"

"Why would the state need a search warrant to keep tabs on citizens they have reason to believe will cause problems?" asked a young blonde woman dressed in crisp grey suit.

"How about I rephrase it to 'why should the government spy on innocent citizens'"

"Why would the state need a search warrant to keep tabs on citizens they have reason to believe will cause problems?" asked a young blonde woman dressed in crisp grey suit.

"How about I rephrase it to 'why should the government spy on innocent citizens'"

'Well, how do you expect the government to know they're innocent without spying on them?' Cass chuckles to herself. 'In all seriousness though, ambassador, I find that clause a little too crudely done. It would have been better with some clarification and a little more detailed.'

"A government can know if ones innocent if they haven't been accused of a crime or if the jury/judge ruled them innocent in a trial. I can't see how the clause could be improved Ms Ambassador."

The World Assembly,

Appalled by the lack of a resolution regarding data protection;

Recognising the individuals' right to privacy;

Believing that businesses should not be able to collect data from a customer without the explicit consent of that customer as this is clearly a violation of the right to privacy;

Noting that minors are not fully mentally mature and are not capable of taking decisions on their own without the help of their guardians;

Seeking to protect customers from exploitation by businesses;


Hereby,

1. Defines the following for the purpose of this resolution:
   
   1. A "Minor" as any sapient being under the age of majority;
   2. A "Guardian" as any legal guardian of a minor, or if none exist, the biological parent;
   3. "Personal Data" as any data that can be used to identify a sapient individual;
   4. A "User" as any sapient being who uses or has used the services of a business;
   
   
2. Prohibits:
   
   1. Businesses from storing the personal data of any minor without the explicit consent of their guardian except when the business cannot identify the user's age;
   2. Businesses from using personal data collected from any individual to cause harm or severe distress to the individual the data belongs to;
   3. Governments of member states from viewing the data of a user without the explicit prior consent from both the business holding the data and the user that the data belongs to, except when the information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a search warrant has been issued;
   
   
3. Mandates that:
   
   1. Businesses provide explicit information on how they will use a user's data in their terms of service;
   2. Businesses enable users to view the data that the aforementioned business holds on them unless the release of data would compromise the well-being of the user or others;
   3. Personal data processed for any purpose is not kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose unless the user consents to that explicitly and clearly;
   4. Businesses allow users to request the removal of their personal data, and act upon these requests unless there is a clear and very compelling safety or disciplinary reason to do otherwise;
   
   
4. Requires that member states make a private right of action against businesses that don't follow the boundaries established in this resolution;
   
   
5. Encourages member states to enact stricter laws to protect their citizens' privacy from businesses.

'What of nations which contract private companies for, say, their traffic control cameras? A driver can be said to be using the services of that business, and their car's license plate to be a form of identification, but under this resolution the government would not be allowed to view data from the cameras without the consent of every single driver captured in each image.'

"Surely though, the 'users' of contracted private companies related to traffic control are the governments, not the people themselves? Is this not a different situation? And surely, companies can just supply the number plates without needing to supply the images?"

"That could actually be the case."

"We welcome and support the fundamental ideas and morals behind this resolution - however, we will be voting against this resolution and encourage other WA members to do the same. We believe the provisions within the resolution are too detailed for the application across all WA member states and restricts member nations from carrying out nationally lawful surveillance activities due to Article 2, subsection 3. The provision in this resolution which allows for governments to view the data of a user which a business holds is limited to "where information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a search warrant has been issued." It does not consider instances where, for instances dealing with terrorism and extremism, data may be needed in the prevention of crime where a criminal investigation or trial has not been opened, during heightened or national emergencies in which a search warrant may prevent law enforcement or government agencies from preventing crime in Goodspeed in which warrants may not be able to be issued quickly - as it does not consider varying legal systems across nation states. "

"Why should any government spy on it's citizens without their consent or a search warrant?"

And this is exactly why I am voting in support of this.

Governments shouldn’t be spying on citizens unless they have probable cause that they are committing a crime or will commit one and have secured a warrant for surveillance from a federal court.

Businesses shouldn’t be collecting data from minors without parental consent, it’s plain business ethics.

"Your mother would have been proud of you for writing up a flawed law and refusing to fix its flaws when they were pointed out to you?" Linda asked with a quizzical eyebrow. "Strange cause for pride."
