      abstract = {This Note  argues  that  the  current  regulatory  scheme   for  privacy inadequately  protects  consumers  in  the   gig  economy.  While  privacy  is considered  a   fundamental  human  right  in  Europe, American  law  has  neglected  the  right  to  privacy.  This  has  become   increasingly  important as  digitization  continues  into   the  sharing  economy  system.  This  Note proposes   that    the   federal   government,   through   the   Federal    Trade Commission  (“FTC”),  establish  a  regulatory   framework  that  borrows standards  from  the  Federal   Communications  Commission  (“FCC”)’s 2016  privacy   rulesfor  broadband  Internet  service providers  (“ISPs”),  the   California   Online   Privacy   Protection   Act    (“CalOPPA”), and Regulation (EU) 2016/679. This would act  as a model scheme for states to  implement  stronger   privacy  standards  for  companies.  For  example, states   could  require  warrants  for  governmental  access  to   data.  This would, in  turn, deter  gig  economy  platforms   from  intruding  upon consumer privacy and keeping data  for any purpose except for essential business  use.   Specifically,  Part  I  of  this  Note  begins  by   outlining  the historical  background  of  privacy  law,   with  emphasis  on  technological influence  on  the  law.   Part  II  discusses  the  current  state  of  the  sharing  economy’s  self-regulation  regarding  privacy.  Part  III   delves  into issues surrounding  governmental  access  to   data  and  its  circumvention  of Fourth  Amendment   protection,  and  Part  IV  suggests  that  the  United  States federal government supplement the current system  with a broad, regulatory  framework  akin  to  the   recently  repealed  FCC  privacy  rules. Lastly,  this   Note  in  Part  V  discusses  alternative  solutions,   including congressional and local regulation.},
