Main players for ensuring data protection
Half of French people have already wondered in which countries their data could be stored. While no host country was in the lead in terms of preference, 34 percent would favor a French actor and 10 percent would prefer a European player to ensure the protection of their personal data. French public authorities as well as the European Union have proven to be quite trustworthy for French citizens. Most importantly, however, people themselves are considered key players in being vigilant regarding data threats.As monitoring one's activity does seem feasible, French parents are not convinced that the government and especially social media companies are to be trusted in managing the data of their children.
