Regulators call for global data protection law
Perfect headline for this - makes me think of the James boys.

Money shot:

The nature of the legally-binding instrument to be adopted by the UN is not prescribed; but Swiss data-protection commissioner Hanspeter ThÃŒr told SwissInfo.org that it could be a text adopted by the UN in the same way as human-rights provisions.


And enforced just as lackadaisically if at all, I'd imagine.
The UN is already dead, but it's too stupid to know it.
