Question

This learning plan discusses how the EU and the US define privacy for any web activity. Along with that is how the EU and US define workplace monitoring. These are important issues because business is global. Search engines, like Google, operate in the EU; both as an Internet tool and a physical business. Based on what you learned in by viewing the videos and reading the articles in the learning activities as well as internet research, compare and contrast 1) the privacy laws, 2) workplace monitoring laws between the countries. Discuss if you think the privacy laws and policies in force in Europe would work here. Wouldn’t that make it easier for businesses to operate globally? Why or why not? Support your point of view with research; cite your sources, and NO WIKI anything. Your post must be at least 100 words long with correct spelling and grammar.

Explanation / Answer

If you have any problems, let me know in the comments and i will try to solve them.

Every activity we partake in online leaves a digital footprint. It is therefore a concern for people and therefore certain privacy laws are considered fundamental that safeguards the people’s privacy. These are known as privacy laws.

In Eu, laws are governed under one privacy law that includes branches of the different processes needed to follow, The data Protection Directive 1995/46/EC and the e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC.them whereas in the US there is no such concept of a single governing privacy law and has different approach to privacy at the federal and state level, HIPPA (health data) FACTA(credit data) AND COPPA(privacy laws for children under 13 years of age)

The workers in US expect a reasonable amount of privacy from their employers inherently but in EU, a concept of privacy as a human rights is followed. This limits the authority employers have over monitoring their employees in the Eu and in the US, there are different laws considering the different faces of privacy.

I do not think the privacy laws that are followed in the Eu will work in the US because the employers have always followed a system of some form of monitoring control over their employees and it can be argued that while it is the fundamental human right that a person has to his/her privacy. There is also a need for the companies to safeguard their own benefit and secure their own prospects too and such a law that prevents the employers to do so will not be well received.

If there is one governing law amongst these different regions, it would definitely benefit businesses that operate globally in a sense that they don’t have to develop or integrate a new architecture or system of plan differently for different regions and can operate on one driving principle based upon a mutual consent.
