The C3RD & the Centre for Critical Democracy Studies are hosting a joint Book Launch Seminar with Prof. Ignacio Cofone, author of : 

« The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy », CUP 2023m and Power in the Information Econom

Comments by Dr. Pauline Trouillard, U. Rennes

The book argues that privacy law is implicitly grounded on concepts from contracts, which set the rules for voluntary agreements, and we need to instead ground it on concepts from torts, which set the rules for harms caused to others. Departing from existing regulations and proposals, it proposes a plan to build accountability into the information economy for individual and group harms.
