The pandemic has altered people’s relationship with technology and upended longstanding patterns of how people shop, learn, interact, and work. At the same time that we are increasingly dependent on the internet, polling data reveals that many users do not feel comfortable online. Trade agreements regulate the cross-border data flows that underpin the internet and widely used services such as search and social networks. This panel will examine what trade agreements currently say and how they might be reimagined to build and maintain user trust and foster greater inclusion online.
