This cartoon is based on a fairly recent trend – countries that are requiring data localization. Data localization involves requirements that personal data collected in a certain country reside on servers within that country’s borders.
Here are some articles on data localization worth looking at:
• Bret Cohen, Britanie Hall, and Charlie Wood, Data Localization Laws and their Impact on Privacy, Data Security, and the Global Economy (ABA Antitrust)
• Manuel Maisog, Making the Case Against Data Localization in China (IAPP)
• Jyoti Panday, Rising Demands for Data Localization a Response to Weak Data Protection Mechanisms (EFF)
