Study Overview
This research explores different concepts of data rights, their current effectiveness, and privacy-enhancing technologies that can increase their effectiveness. In particular, the team evaluates various rights-based privacy approaches by collecting and analyzing numerous empirical pieces of evidence. The goal is also to assess how various data rights can affect underground data markets where customer data is traded without discretion and whether the data rights can intrinsically solve the issue regarding the underground data market.
Study Results
We pinpoint 15 key questions concerning the efficacy of rights allocations. The literature often presents conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of rights based frameworks, but it generally emphasizes their limitations. We offer recommendations to policymakers and Computer Science (CS) groups committed to these frameworks, and suggest alternative privacy regulation approaches.
