The Digital Trade Data Heist:
Trade Agreement Limits on Data Transfer and Storage Regulation Could Undercut Data Governance

Please join us this Wednesday to learn about a major trade issue coming to a head that will affect all of us – that is not tariffs!  
 
The Rethink Trade program at the American Economic Liberties Project will release a report with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Big Tech’s attempted “digital trade” data heist. This new report reveals how the Big Tech agenda of forbidding governments from regulating data security and privacy conflicts with existing U.S. federal and states law and U.S. agency policy. Will the Trump administration allow trade agreements to preempt U.S. law?

Governments worldwide are tightening regulations on how data is collected, transferred, and stored—shaping the future of the digital economy. What began as personal data protection efforts has evolved into a complex landscape of national security measures, data security laws, and new frameworks for taxing the data economy. Meanwhile, the push for data-sharing mandates grows, aiming to boost competition in an AI-driven world. But restrictive trade rules on cross-border data flows threaten these essential governance efforts.

Join us for a conversation on this critical topic with Senator Chris Murphy, and Rethink Trade’s Daniel Rangel and Lori Wallach.

Hope to see you there!
