Thus, the difficulty lies in designing a system without compromising core values of both privacy regulation on the one hand and blockchain technology on the other. Given the right incentives there is no doubt GDPR compliant distributed ledgers can, and will be designed. The real question is what happens if there is persistent market\/social\/political interest in those blockchain implementations which do not care for, or are unable to achieve GDPR compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the interdisciplinary nature of the main question, the proposed panel consists of invited experts selected to cover various privacy-related fields including law and computer science.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What are the main points of friction between blockchains and the GDPR?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What are the technological privacy enhancing mechanisms that could apply?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What are the appropriate and necessary conciliations for the creation of privacy-preserving blockchains in accordance with data protection regulation?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Is there a market for non-compliance that blockchain technologies are best suited to serve?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The video of our CPDP panel is now up!
