What are the arguments in favor and against self-regulation with online privacy?

What will be an ideal response?


Supporters of self-regulation contend that Internet businesses already have a market incentive to protect user privacy to avoid losing customers. Government regulation is slow with the ever-changing nature of the Internet while self-regulation can better predict and respond to new changes in technology. Supporters of self-regulation also contend that industry will be more likely to accept and comply with rules designed and imposed by their peers. One challenge with self-regulation is the difficulty of monitoring whether companies comply with standards established by the industry. Other criticisms of self-regulation include the lack of enforcement and no system of redress for breaches of industry set guidelines.
