Privacy and the Internet are major policy concerns currently being addressed by governments worldwide. Many European nations hold diff erent beliefs from those held in the United States about what information should be available over the Internet. This is particularly true regarding fi nancial information, such as credit card data. Investigate these diff erences between the United States and Europe, noting the diff erent views of what protections governments should provide.

What will be an ideal response?


In general, students will find that Europeans view privacy as a right, as U.S. citizens might view freedom of speech as a protected right. Privacy is not a right under the U.S. Constitution, so tension exists as what privacy rights are available. The different worldviews have created different laws and regulations.
