CIPL-TLS Discussion Paper I: The Real Life Harms of Data Localization Policies

Data underpins the digital transformation of our economies and society. It can be considered one of the most valuable economic assets – responsible use of data enables economic growth and brings benefits and progress to people, governments, and societies at large. Data is also central to governmental and societal interests, such as national security, cyber security, data protection, privacy, and other individual rights.

This is the first in a series of CIPL papers that we expect to publish in 2023 that discusses the impacts of data localization approaches, the motivations behind them, and how to respond to and move beyond them.
