79 – The Public Interest in the Data Society
The public interest, in its
ideal form, offers the possibility for all to exercise individual rights
and freedoms, such as freedom of expression and information or the right to
personal data protection. However, in practice the definition of public
interest can vary depending on the context.
In Maud Bernisson’s doctoral thesis in Media and Communication
Studies, she investigates how the notion of public interest was constructed in
relation to digital media during the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
policymaking process. By interviewing key actors of the process, along with
extensive in-depth document analyses, Maud’s research shows that the GDPR redefines the
public interest in a way which diverges from its ideal form. In our
conversation, Maud explains the reasons for this divergence and how it has
affected how the GDPR works for EU citizens.
