"Law, Privacy, and the Internet"

"Law, Privacy, and the Internet" refers to how legal rules protect individuals' personal information online. As we share data on websites and social media, laws like GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California set standards for how companies must handle this data. These laws aim to ensure that users have control over their information, limiting unauthorized access and data misuse. The balance between innovation and privacy is crucial, as the internet offers vast opportunities while also posing risks to personal security. Understanding these laws helps individuals navigate online spaces safely and protect their privacy.
