The set of rules which Google proposed as the foundation for a global privacy standard are inadequate, a privacy law expert has said. The rules are not specific enough to operate as a global standard, said the expert.Last month Google’s Global Privacy Counsel Peter Fleischer endorsed the Privacy Framework published by the Asia-Pacific Economic Community (APEC) in 2005, describing it as “the most promising foundation on which to build.””Surely, if privacy principles can be agreed upon within the 21 APEC member economies, a similar set of principles could be applied on a global scale,” wrote Peter Fleischer in the search giant’s Public Policy Blog.
