Repeal: “Data Protection Accord”
Category: Repeal | GA #481
Proposed by: United Cats of America | Onsite Topic​
General Assembly Resolution #481 “Data Protection Accord” (Category: Regulation; Area of Effect: Consumer Protection) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,
Understanding the need to protect an individual's right to privacy,
Concerned about the broad definition of "organization" in Section 1, Clause A, which has too broad of a scope and may limit the ability of small organizations to properly run websites given their lack of resources,
Aware of the fact that Section 2, Clause B, may limit the ability of websites to use advertisements to generate revenue for the operation of the website and organization,
Noting that Section 2, Clause B, violates the sovereignty of member states in limiting their ability to conduct searches and monitoring,
Believing that Section 3, Clause B, is often impractical for businesses to do,
Also believing Section 3, Clause C, is impractical in dealing with disciplinary actions that occurs after the data is removed once the user ceases to be a member of the organization.
Noticing that Section 3, Clause G, is vague in terms of what measures is considered "reasonable",
Believing the national sovereignty of nations ought to be respected and that unnecessary and harmful regulation of the Internet needs to halted,
Hereby repeals GA #481 "Data Protection Accord".

Repeal Data Protection Accord" is a highly flawed proposal that doesn't identify any legitimate issues in the target resolution. A majority of the arguments are based on the premise of national sovereignty, which are not grounds for repeal, and those arguments which are not based on national sovereignty are generally non-issues or nonexistent in the first place. For example, the proposed repeal claims that allowing individuals to see data collected on them is "impractical" - when it should not be impractical to simply allow the viewing of collected data.

Furthermore, there are several points where the proposed repeal claims the target to be vague or otherwise nonviable, which is simply untrue. In all instances where this is mentioned, the issue is not present if good faith compliance is occurring - which all compliance must be - making these issues practically entirely fictitious. It would be one thing if these issues were addressed with an adequate replacement proposal, but no such replacement exists.

For these reasons, the North Pacific Ministry on World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote of against the at-vote proposal in the General Assembly.

Against. Pretty much all its arguments are NatSov. The remaining ones are 1) It might be difficult for small organizations, which is unlikely because small organizations have less data to manage; and 2) the word "reasonable" is vague, which it's not because it's been used frequently in past resolution and is accepted as a standard.
 
Against, also how could the clause affect ads? I don't know many ads that would try to sell or promote something harmful. Unless it was specifying political ads which is always something negative.
