Cameron Kerry
Court News Ohio
Who Rules the
Web?
Staff Report
May 11, 2015
There’s a growing global conflict between privacy rights and freedom of
speech on the Internet. One example is a European court’s “Right to be
Forgotten” ruling that ordered Google to erase links to “irrelevant”
and outdated data on request.
This issue of sovereignty and the free flow of information in the
digital age will be the topic of the Ohio Supreme Court’s Forum on the
Law “Who Rules the World Wide Web?” featuring leading policymaker
Cameron Kerry.
Kerry will address the present and emerging international conflicts
over the matters of privacy, cybersecurity, and Internet governance.
He’s also expected to discuss legal developments in the online,
globally connected world, and how those may impact the concept of legal
jurisdictions and boundaries — including state laws and courts — in the
years ahead.
As the general counsel and acting secretary of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Kerry was a global leader in this area. He continues to be
involved in these issues as senior counsel at the international law
firm of Sidley Austin, where he advises clients on how to comply with
ever-changing global data privacy rules and cybersecurity threats. At
the Brookings Institution, he is the Ann R. and Andrew H. Tisch
Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Governance Studies and the Center for
Technology Innovation, and he is a visiting scholar at the MIT Media
Lab.
The event is free, but seating is limited. Reservations may be made
through forum@sc.ohio.gov or 614.387.9267 by Monday, May 25. Please
include all the names of those who will attend.
The Forum on the Law was established in 2009 by the late Chief Justice
Thomas J. Moyer as an ongoing lecture series. Events feature regional
or national speakers who address contemporary or historic legal topics.
