Big Data \u2014 Big Business or Big Brother?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: English-language panel debate moderated by Morten Helveg Petersen (Danish Media)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stephan Noller (CEO, nugg.ad), Martin Ruby (Google Denmark), Vagn Jels\u00f8e (Consumer Council) and Adam Lebech (Ministry of Economy and the Interior) worked through five questions on Big Data&#39;s potential, its demands on skills and business models, and data ownership versus privacy [1]<\/li>\n<li>With digital data circulating across public-private boundaries and shaping new institutions, the panel asked how data aggregation could serve social, political and economic innovation [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Youth Panel &#39;The Way Forward According to the Young&#39; \u2014 Social Media as a Fact of Life<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Panel debate &#39;Vejen frem if\u00f8lge de unge&#39; (The way forward according to the young)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;We are not in control of our privacy. &#8230; The Internet is not reality (translated from Danish)&quot;<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Andreas Groth Clausen (Culture Minister&#39;s youth advisory panel)<\/strong> [2]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;Calling your social worker doesn&#39;t mean giving him permission to walk into your living room and take your diary (translated from Danish)&quot;<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Ditte Marie Thiemer Johansen (youth advisory panel)<\/strong> [2]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Young panellists treated social media as a fact of life they have learned to live with, worrying less about sharing photos than about who receives the collected data and how it is used [2]<\/li>\n<li>IT lawyer Martin Von Haller Gr\u00f8nb\u00e6k argued openness and transparency are the best guarantee of accountability online; Henrik Chulu of Bitbureauet declared that &#39;cultural products have no individual value&#39;, as the debate turned to streaming economics and young people&#39;s frustration at being criminalised in the piracy debate [2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. The Internet as a Growth Driver \u2014 Digital Growth, New Business Models, New gTLDs<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Overall theme and sessions<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Digitally driven growth, new online business models, privacy protection, CSR and new top-level domains filled the agenda, with the forum explicitly framed as the national version of the UN IGF \u2014 no negotiated outcome, but information and inspiration for policy-makers [1][3]<\/li>\n<li>CBS took part through its Public-Private Platform cluster &#39;Internet Business and Society&#39;, led by associate professor Mikkel Flyverbom, anchoring the academic side of the dialogue [1][3]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What did the meeting decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nothing \u2014 by design. As Denmark&#39;s national version of the UN IGF, it brought some 220 people from business, government, academia and civil society into an equal-footing dialogue that informs policy-makers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most contentious topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Big Data. The panel title said it all \u2014 &#39;Big Business or Big Brother?&#39; \u2014 pitting data-driven advertising and search businesses against privacy advocates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Data ownership and behavioural advertising became global regulatory battlegrounds soon after, and the forum&#39;s practice of seating teenage advisers next to CEOs and officials remains a model of inclusive debate.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Denmark IGF?
