As I promised as a part of my platform, I am to explain my World Assembly votes.
I decided to vote against this Resolution due to the clause highlighted in red; Foristan does not wish to inhibit the powers of State, and reserves the right to access information on its citizens at all times.
Below is the text from the Resolution, propose by the nation Marxist Germany.

The World Assembly,
Appalled by the lack of a resolution regarding data protection;
Recognising the individuals' right to privacy;
Believing that businesses should not be able to collect data from a customer without the explicit consent of that customer as this is clearly a violation of the right to privacy;
Noting that minors are not fully mentally mature and are not capable of taking decisions on their own without the help of their guardians;
Seeking to protect customers from exploitation by businesses;
Hereby,
Defines the following for the purpose of this resolution:
A "Minor" as any sapient being under the age of majority;
A "Guardian" as any legal guardian of a minor, or if none exist, the biological parent;
"Personal Data" as any data that can be used to identify a sapient individual;
A "User" as any sapient being who uses or has used the services of a business;
Prohibits:
Businesses from storing the personal data of any minor without the explicit consent of their guardian except when the business cannot identify the user's age;
Businesses from using personal data collected from any individual to cause harm or severe distress to the individual the data belongs to;
Governments of member states from viewing the data of a user without the explicit prior consent from both the business holding the data and the user that the data belongs to, except when the information is needed for a criminal investigation or trial and a search warrant has been issued;
Mandates that:
Businesses provide explicit information on how they will use a user's data in their terms of service;
Businesses enable users to view the data that the aforementioned business holds on them unless the release of data would compromise the well-being of the user or others;
Personal data processed for any purpose is not kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose unless the user consents to that explicitly and clearly;
Businesses allow users to request the removal of their personal data, and act upon these requests unless there is a clear and very compelling safety or disciplinary reason to do otherwise;
Requires that member states make a private right of action against businesses that don't follow the boundaries established in this resolution;
Encourages member states to enact stricter laws to protect their citizens' privacy from businesses.
