本文从社会学的角度探讨了数据保护法规及其与利用或“交易”个人数据的数字技术设计的相关性。从这个角度来看，欧洲和美国的拟议数据保护法规试图通过新的法律的框架创造一个新的经济行为体--消费者作为个人数据交易者，将数据处理中的代理和控制中心转移到个人身上。从社会学的角度来看，拟议的数据监管认识到法律和社会秩序之间的自反关系，以及平衡合规需求与工具和资源设计的相应需求，这些工具和资源使这一新的经济行为体能够为个人提供数据保护，并允许个人利用个人数据，成为新兴数据经济的积极参与者。
This paper offers a sociological perspective on data protection regulation and its relevance to the design of digital technologies that exploit or 'trade in' personal data. From this perspective, proposed data protection regulations in Europe and the US seek to create a new economic actor - the consumer as personal data trader - through new legal frameworks that shift the locus of agency and control in data processing towards the individual. The sociological perspective on proposed data regulation recognises the reflexive relationship between law and the social order, and the commensurate need to balance the demand for compliance with the design of tools and resources that enable this new economic actor, tools that provide both data protection to the individual and allow the individual to exploit personal data to become an active player in the emerging data economy.
