I have a final question. Regarding the derogation in head 24, how will this balance be achieved in the context of, for example, social media organisations allowing freedom of expression on the one hand and data control on the other? Could head 24 allow corporations or other data controllers potentially to derogate their responsibilities under the Act? How does Mr. Carroll see this working out in practice?
