Consumer privacy in a behavioral world
- Abstract:
- On March 28, 2017, Congress killed the FCC’s attempt to protect consumer privacy on the internet and allowed ISPs to continue to track their users’ online behavior. We evaluate the impact of this decision for consumer privacy in light of biased beliefs and information overload. We do so through a well-documented behavioral bias: Nonbelief in the Law of Large Numbers. In doing so, we provide a framework for protecting consumer privacy. We then suggest private law and regulatory solutions to do so in a more effective way than either the current or the now-repealed regime.
