Since 2020 there has been very limited progress in the development of international data privacy standards. This contrasts with modest progress in 2019-20 (‘Uncertain paths for international standards’ PL&B International Report February 2021, pp. 23-27) and with the watershed period of 2017-18 (PL&B International Report February 2019, pp.19-20). Developments in 2021 to mid-2023 are analysed in this article, and the changes to the countries affected are detailed in my ‘Global data privacy laws 2023’ (PL&B International Report February 2023 pp.1, 3-4).
