Reuters | Apple Siri Settlement & the Privacy Price Tag

I had the pleasure of speaking to Jenna Greene for her insightful Reuters piece on the challenges of quantifying privacy harms in the recent Apple Siri settlement.

Quantifying damages for privacy breaches is inherently complex. Our market-based framework treats privacy preferences as individual consumer choices – like selecting between products – rather than recognizing them as fundamental rights. As a result, deep-pocketed companies may not worry too much about legal exposure, treating lawsuit payouts for privacy breaches like a rounding error on their balance sheets.

Jenna’s article, which also features the views of privacy doyenne Danielle Citron, is a great read for anyone interested in privacy law, consumer rights, and the evolving landscape of data protection.
