Global policymakers are facing uncharted territory as emerging technologies open new frontiers for regulation with the inter-networking of smart devices and trends in the automation of factories, dubbed Industry 4.0 by German politicians. "We still have no international rules," Merkel said alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto during a visit to Mexico City, stressing that there were important security concerns without common standards. - - - Oh sure, give China and Russia control? That's what would end up happening. Global rules means global censorship and global tracking. No thanks, Angela. --Lauren--
