Prof. McGeveran Talks to Star Tribune About "Bombshell" European Privacy Ruling

A column in the Sunday Star Tribune extensively quoted Professor William McGeveran, an expert on data privacy, about a recent European court ruling that could expose U.S. companies to liability under European data protecton law. The column discussed different attitudes about privacy in Europe and the United States, and McGeveran noted that the differences cut both ways. He said Americans are more privacy-sensitive, not less, in areas such as antidiscriminaton law and public nudity.
