With financial and other personal information about us in countless
databases, there is a pervasive concern in many countries that we
have little control over access to potentially harmful uses of that
information and that little can be done to address the problem
except to give out as little information as possible and try our
best to monitor our credit reports and financial accounts in an
effort to detect unexpected activity if it occurs. By not enacting
strong information privacy laws in the non-governmental sector, the
U.S. Congress and the fifty states have effectively defaulted to a
market-based model of privacy protection that relies heavily on
individual self-policing and market incentives as the primary means
of information control. A self-policing privacy protection model
could be effective if a market for information privacy were
possible-if well informed individuals could shop their privacy
preferences effectively. This book examines the reasons why this is
highly unlikely and why privacy laws in the United States (or the
lack thereof) will not protect legitimate consumer interests in the
years to come.
