Done right this could be a helpful step. There are balanced interests here. If you need a visa to enter a foreign country they will need access to your personal data from a responsible third-party source to verify the information you submitted. However, we don’t want detailed, sensitive personal data being sent to North Korea. The lines being drawn matter.
A U.S. form of adequacy?
Consulting Firms Have Stumbled Into a Geopolitical Minefield The era of free-flowing information is over. By Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman A sign for the U.S.-based McKinsey & Company management consulting firm is seen on a wall in Geneva, carved in a serif font in an expanse of gray stone on April 12, 2022. FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES MAY 22, 2024 Earlier this year, McKinsey executives found themselves in serious political trouble. The Financial Times reported that their China branch had boasted in 2019 of its economic advice to the Chinese central government, while a McKinsey-led think tank prepared a book which advised China to “deepen cooperation between business and the military and push foreign companies out of sensitive industries.” McKinsey, which had previously gotten media attention for promoting China’s Belt and Road initiative, responded with a statement saying that China’s central government had never to its knowledge been a client, and stressing its “75 year history of supporting the US government.” But the damage was done: Senior Republican policymakers called for McKinsey to be banned from tens of millions of dollars in federal contracts. Once, information brokers like McKinsey could advise governments and share data across national borders with little controversy. Now, they are being forced to make hard choices—and not just by U.S. politicians. The Beijing branch of the Mintz group, a consultancy specializing in due diligence, was raided last year by Chinese authorities, which had apparently started worrying that accurate statistics about the Chinese economy were a national security threat. Bain, which provides detailed advice to corporations, was raided a month later. https://lnkd.in/eNRGnuiG

'...While the existence of disinformation is not new, the digital age and its ability to spread any narrative so rapidly (and from any voice, whether authentic or synthetic) is amplifying the reach and virility of false information – often more quickly than what is true. According to one study, false news is about 70% more likely to be reshared by people than true news, which proliferates false narratives and often leads to confirmation bias or confusion about the current state of events. By all signs so far in 2024, the disinformation threat landscape is becoming even more complex. With more than 60 countries around the world participating in elections this year, awareness of disinformation’s use by various actors and the ability to separate truth from falsehoods is paramount. AI-generated content has already led to serious election-related disinformation concerns, with the number of deepfakes being created increasing by 900% this year alone. With such rampant disinformation, the legitimacy of the election process and newly elected governments is being put into question. This risk is only heightened and multiplied by the recent advances and growth around Generative AI (Gen AI), which helps create realistic content more quickly and amplifies the effects of disinformation across social networks and other channels... ...the World Economic Forum has named disinformation the number one global risk in 2024. https://lnkd.in/ewUHtair
