Description: The Privacy Fallacy by Ignacio Cofone Explains how privacy laws are overridden by technology companies and how they can be improved. Drawing from behavioral science, psychology, sociology, and economics, the book dispels misconceptions that trap us into ineffective approaches to growing digital harms. It then develops solutions based on corporate accountability. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Our privacy is besieged by tech companies. Companies can do this because our laws are built on outdated ideas that trap lawmakers, regulators, and courts into wrong assumptions about privacy, resulting in ineffective legal remedies to one of the most pressing concerns of our generation. Drawing on behavioral science, sociology, and economics, Ignacio Cofone challenges existing laws and reform proposals and dispels enduring misconceptions about data-driven interactions. This exploration offers readers a holistic view of why current laws and regulations fail to protect us against corporate digital harms, particularly those created by AI. Cofone then proposes a better response: meaningful accountability for the consequences of corporate data practices, which ultimately entails creating a new type of liability that recognizes the value of privacy. Author Biography Ignacio Cofone is the Canada Research Chair in A.I. Law & Data Governance at McGill University and an Affiliated Fellow at the Yale Law School Information Society Project. He writes about how the law should adapt to technological and economic change with a focus on privacy and AI. Table of Contents Introduction; 1. The traditionalist approach to privacy; 2. The privacy myths: rationality and apathy; 3. The consent illusion; 4. Manipulation by design; 5. Traditionalist data protection rules; 6. Pervasive data harms; 7. Privacy as corporate accountability; Conclusion. Review To protect privacy in the digital age, Ignacio Cofone argues, we must rethink privacy harms. These harms are social and systemic as well as individual, and they will not be remedied by market and contractual approaches. This beautifully written book is an excellent introduction to problems of digital exploitation that affect everyone. Jack Balkin, Yale Law SchoolWhy are privacy rules failing us when we need them the most? In this superb book, Ignacio Cofone expertly threads together privacy laws many missteps and proposes a way forward that doesnt rest on myths and misconceptions. The Privacy Fallacy clearly and effectively stakes out an essential turning point for lawmakers and society: We either commit to holding companies liable for the full range of harms they cause, or we continue to indulge in the fantasy that privacy can be individually negotiated and that our laws have it under control. Woodrow Hartzog, Boston UniversityWith the rigor of an economist and the heart of a humanist, Cofone explores why privacy law has been disappointingly powerless in todays data-driven society. He proposes a new understanding of privacy harm to ground a more effective liability regime. A clear and engaging read for experts and interested laypeople alike! Katherine J. Strandburg, New York University School of Law Promotional Uncovers why privacy laws fail at protecting us from corporate data harms and charts a path for reform.
