George Mason University School of Law’s Law and Economics Center hosts Public Policy Conference on the Future of Privacy and Data Security Regulation May 14, 2014.

Data Collection by public and private entities is ubiquitous. The increasing collection and use of these data holds great promise, but also raises important issues related to privacy and data security regulation. Several authors will present original work on privacy and data security policy, focusing on such topics as the proper reach of Section 5 of the FTC Act, “Big Data” and privacy harms, seepage between government and commercial surveillance, and the interplay between privacy and data security.
