In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, online activities are no longer limited to desktop or laptop computers, smartphones and tablets. Instead, these activities now include ordinary tasks, such as using an internet-connected refrigerator or washing machine. At the same time, the IoT provides unlimited opportunities for household objects to serve as surveillance devices that continually monitor, collect and process vast quantities of our data. In this work, Stacy-Ann Elvy critically examines the consumer ramifications of the IoT through the lens of commercial law and privacy and security law. The book provides concrete legal solutions to remedy inadequacies in the law that will help usher in a more robust commercial law of privacy and security that protects consumer interests.
- Presents a detailed overview of what the Internet of Things (IoT) means for individuals and society, including the use of IoT devices in COVID-19 pandemic response efforts
- Proposes a comprehensive approach to addressing inadequacies found in various sources of privacy and security law and commercial law at both the federal and state level, including a new theory of products liability law
- Offers three non-exhaustive reasons that, in combination, could explain the seeming disconnect between commercial law and privacy law.
