%0 Journal Article %T THE RIGHT TO CONSENT AND CONTROL PERSONAL INFORMATION PROCESSING IN CYBERSPACE %A Thilla Rajaretnam %J International Journal of Cyber-Security and Digital Forensics %D 2012 %I Society of Digital Information and Wireless Communications (SDIWC) %X Consumer concerns over the safety of their personal information and the violation of their privacy rights are described as being the single overwhelming barrier to rapid growth of e- commerce. This paper explores the problems for e-commerce users when there is collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that are based on implied consent in e- commerce transactions. It questions the assumption that consent is sufficient to waive privacy interests in relation to e-commerce transactions. It will argue that consent should not necessarily be sufficient to waive privacy interests, and that the collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information should be subject to regulation. %U http://sdiwc.net/digital-library/web-admin/upload-pdf/00000313.pdf
