Fragmented, incomplete, and discontinuous: the failure of federal privacy regulatory proposals and institutions
Article Abstract:
The US lacks an agency in charge of restricting access to personal information despite legislative attempts since the 1970s attempts to form such an agency and despite various efforts by individual administrative agencies to adopt agency information privacy policies. Compared to other industrialized nations in the technological era, the US continues to lack a uniform policy and enforcement agency to protect information from public disclosure.

Privacy, technology, and the California "Anti-paparazzi" statute
Article Abstract:
California's recently enacted "anti-paparazzi" law uses the tort of unreasonable intrusion as a model in an attempt to bolster privacy protections against nonphysical intrusions created by modern technology, such as the telephoto lens. Despite its indirect forms of regulation, the statute's explicit reliance on common law notions of reasonable expectation of privacy and the offensiveness of the intrusion may undermine the law.
