The closest we have come globally to having this adult conversation on locally driven ownership is when the European Union (EU) passed the General Data Privacy Regulations (GDPR) to reign in tech firm’s mass collection and commercialization of individual user data including sensitive data like date of birth, banking information as well as browsing activity or history especially false news reports or stories on citizens.
One such controversial law in the EU GDPR is the “right to be forgotten” clause that allows EU citizens rights to ask internet companies to delete information about them from their websites and or digital ecosystems. Google has found itself at the end of this law having paid over 100,000 Euros in fines to settle and often comply with requests to “be forgotten” by EU citizens and billions in US dollars for advertising to children according to NBC[NBC].
In the last decade, we have seen a radical shift from traditional banking to digital and almost predominantly mobile banking accelerated in this decade by covid-19 and the global need for contactless payments. Already piloted and scaled in emerging markets like Kenya in East Africa and frontier markets China, Japan as well as South Korea, the digital revolution is the new norm in the US as well as seen by peer to peer bank transfers via services like Venmo, Paypal, Cash App and Zelle.
