The Privacy Advisor Podcast: FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra on enforcement priorities

Six months into his new role as commissioner at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Rohit Chopra is still settling into his role, but he knows he has at least two priorities going forward: First, is to bring “more enforcement teeth to everything that we do.” Second, though, follows on from the first: “We have to prove to the public that we’re up to the task. Otherwise that’s a recipe for disaster.” In episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, recorded live at Privacy. Security. Risk 2018, Chopra talks to host Angelique Carson, CIPP/US, about his concerns regarding American isolationism and keeping pace with the rest of the world on data protection and digital rights. “We’re increasingly feeling that other countries, particularly Europe, are in the lead," he said.
