Flawed Transparency: Shared Data Collection And Disclosure Challenges For Google Glass And Similar Technologies, Jonathan I. Ezor
Flawed Transparency: Shared Data Collection And Disclosure Challenges For Google Glass And Similar Technologies, Jonathan I. Ezor
Jonathan I. Ezor
Current privacy law and best practices assume that the party collecting the data is able to describe and disclose its practices to those from and about whom the data are collected. With emerging technologies such as Google Glass, the information being collected by the wearer may be automatically shared to one or more third parties whose use may be substantially different from that of the wearer.

This paper will analyze the current state of U.S. law and compliance regarding personal information collection …

On a cool summer morning in upstate New York, a man sitting on his couch types in the coordinates to a warehouse in Virginia on his phone and presses “engage.” At that moment, the engine of a vehicle several miles away starts up, and the vehicle slowly backs out of the driveway. Without a driver or any occupants, the vehicle travels several hundred miles from the driveway in New York to the warehouse in Virginia. Meanwhile, the man who engaged the vehicle remains seated on his couch in upstate New York. The man has engaged an autonomous vehicle (AV), capable …
Google And Search-Engine Market Power, Mark R. Patterson
Google And Search-Engine Market Power, Mark R. Patterson
Faculty Scholarship
A significant and growing body of commentary considers whether possible manipulation of search results by Google could give rise to antitrust liability. Surprisingly, though, little serious attention has been paid to whether Google has market power. Those who favor antitrust scrutiny of Google generally cite its large market share, from which they infer or assume its dominance. Those who are skeptical of competition law’s role in regulating search, on the other hand, usually cite Google’s 'competition is only a click away' mantra to suggest that Google’s market position is precarious. In fact, the issue of Google’s power is more complicated …
