11. The Legal Consistency of Technology Regulation in Europe

Author

Graef, Inge and van der Sloot, Bart

Subjects
Intermediary liability, Non-discrimination, Open data, Consumer protection, Competition, Privacy, European Patent Convention, General Data Protection Regulation, Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, AI Act, Data Act, thema EDItEUR::L Law::LN Laws of specific jurisdictions and specific areas of law::LNQ IT and Communications law / Postal laws and regulations
Abstract

By bringing together fundamental rights, economic law, and recent legislation in the areas of digital platforms, data, and AI, this open access book gives a comprehensive picture of the state of play in technology regulation in the EU. Risks of regulatory fragmentation are on the rise with ever more legislative instruments becoming applicable to the technology sector. This book explores the prospects and challenges of ensuring legal consistency in a period of transition in which new legislation is being implemented and the interpretation of existing laws is being challenged by the use of data, AI, and platform technologies. The book analyses the legal consistency of technology regulation from three perspectives: (1) the relationship between the EU and the Council of Europe; (2) the relationship among EU regulatory frameworks; and (3) the relationship between EU and Member State law. By covering issues of fundamental rights protection, the free flow of data, consumer protection, competition, and innovation, the book gives a unique and extensive outlook into the state of the art in academic and policy discussions. Unravelling the relationship between legal fields, the book is an essential resource for academics, practitioners and students wishing to understand the increasingly complex landscape of technology regulation in Europe. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

45. A Closer Look at Counterfeit Products

Subjects
Intellectual property infringement--Prevention, Consumer protection, Trademark infringement--Prevention, Electronic commerce--Corrupt practices, Product counterfeiting
Abstract

Brand owners have been sounding the alarm about dangerous counterfeit products plaguing the internet for years. As consumers have moved online, counterfeiters have embraced the internet also. Their tools are becoming more sophisticated and their targeted products becoming more wide ranging as they dupe unwitting consumers into purchasing fakes. It is clear that the fight against dangerous fakes in e-commerce requires proactive measures by the platforms. SHOP SAFE takes an important step in ensuring that what consumers see online is what they will get as reported in chapter 1. Counterfeit goods infringe on IPR, and can harm the U.S. economy and threaten consumer safety. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB), the U.S. agency tasked with enforcement against counterfeits at the border, has reported that the annual number of small packages sent to the U.S. since fiscal year 2013 more than doubled, and small packages seized often contain counterfeit goods. Chapter 2 examines: how elements of the EU and U.S. approaches to combating counterfeit goods in small packages compare, any enforcement challenges posed by these goods, and the extent to which CBP has taken steps to address these challenges. Chapters 3 and 4 examine counterfeit medications.

46. Buyer Aware : Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace

Author

Marta L. Tellado and Marta L. Tellado

Subjects
Consumers, Consumer protection
Abstract

In an era of corporate overreach when consumers have never been more vulnerable to digital surveillance, unsafe food, and dangerously faulty products, the president and CEO of Consumer Reports gives us a playbook to put the power back in our hands. You've been getting ripped off. The rules that have protected consumers for decades are failing. Companies are spying on us. Many of the products we once trusted are dangerous and failing at alarming rates. Whether we are buying a crib, a small appliance, an iPhone app, or shopping for car insurance, it's become harder than ever to know whether the choices we make in the marketplace are putting us at risk-either from physical harm or the abuse of our personal data by hackers or corporations. This is intolerable. It's wrong. And we don't have to put up with it anymore. Marta L. Tellado, the president and CEO of Consumer Reports, has been an advocate for consumers for decades. In Buyer Aware, Tellado shows you the steps you can take to protect yourself from predatory business practices, and how to exert your inherent power as a consumer to spur politicians and businesses to clean up their act. Only then can we ensure that we have an economy that is fair, safe, and transparent for all, and puts consumers first.

Abstract

La presente obra colectiva se enmarca en la investigación denominada:'Límites a la auto nomía de la voluntad en los contratos Wraps'. El estudio parte de la necesidad de analizar en el contexto nacional e internacional la aplicación y las regulaciones de las nuevas formas de contratación a través de los portales web: los contratos Wraps. Estas figuras jurídicas se han desarrollado en el Derecho anglosajón, pero su utilidad se ha extendido a todo el globo, gracias al desarrollo de las tic (específicamente, Internet). Estas nuevas formas contractuales han generado beneficios para el desarrollo económico y la circu lación de bienes y servicios y se han consagrado mediante el comercio y la contratación electrónica. Sin embargo, derivado de su aplicación, se han producido diversos debates doctrinarios acerca de los límites que pueden llegar a fijar en relación con la autonomía de la voluntad de los contratantes, toda vez que estos únicamente pueden expresar su consentimiento por medio de mecanismos electrónicos, sin negociación alguna y, en cier tas ocasiones, sin conocer previamente los términos de la contratación. Las legislaciones nacionales no presentan claridad sobre esta temática y la doctrina no ha brindado una respuesta precisa sobre estos fenómenos, que surgen de las nuevas tendencias globali zadas del Derecho. Por tanto, es necesario realizar una investigación que demuestre las inconsistencias legislativas que presenta la normativa colombiana, de forma particular, para realizar una propuesta concreta ante la problemática planteada. Este libro se ha abordado desde cuatro grandes temáticas: 1) teorías del perfeccionamiento de los con tratos Wraps, 2) la protección de los consumidores en las relaciones jurídicas derivadas de los contratos Wraps, 3) los límites a la autonomía de la voluntad en el Reglamento Roma I sobre la ley aplicable a las obligaciones contractuales (especial referencia a los supuestos de contratación electrónica) y 4) los aportes de la solución alternativa de controversias contractuales al desarrollo e interpretación de los contratos Wraps.

Subjects
Consumer protection, Medical care, Medicine, Popular
Abstract

In the US medical environment where medical mistakes, over-diagnosis, and over-treatment have become the third leading cause of death, leadership consultant and long-time charity CEO Edward Morgan argues that protecting yourself with medical wisdom can add 10-15 years to your life.We're a nation on meds, where 60% of adults are now diagnosed with some chronic condition. We're listening to unwise advice and becoming permanent patients.Longevity is declining in America, even though medical costs in the US are twice that of other developed nations. Don't get caught in medical misadventures that escalate into permanent conditions, screenings that cascade into fear-driven decisions, prescriptions that simply suppress symptoms, or worst of all, end up dying in an ICU in the vain hope for a few more days.Smart is not the same as wise. Medical wisdom and discernment will extend your life. Taking today's aggressive, profit-driven advice will quite possibly shorten it. Living to see your grandchildren grow up is your responsibility, not your doctor's. This is a must read for anyone already feeling like a patient for life. With courage and wisdom you can become a well person again and live out your full lifespan.

Abstract

A much-needed corrective on what privacy is, why it matters, and how we can protect in an age when so many believe that the concept is dead. Everywhere we look, companies and governments are spying on us--seeking information about us and everyone we know. Ad networks monitor our web-surfing to send us'more relevant'ads. The NSA screens our communications for signs of radicalism. Schools track students'emails to stop school shootings. Cameras guard every street corner and traffic light, and drones fly in our skies. Databases of human information are assembled for purposes of'training'artificial intelligence programs designed to predict everything from traffic patterns to the location of undocumented migrants. We're even tracking ourselves, using personal electronics like Apple watches, Fitbits, and other gadgets that have made the'quantified self'a realistic possibility. As Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg once put it,'the Age of Privacy is over.'But Zuckerberg and others who say'privacy is dead'are wrong. In Why Privacy Matters, Neil Richards explains that privacy isn't dead, but rather up for grabs. Richards shows how the fight for privacy is a fight for power that will determine what our future will look like, and whether it will remain fair and free. If we want to build a digital society that is consistent with our hard-won commitments to political freedom, individuality, and human flourishing, then we must make a meaningful commitment to privacy. Privacy matters because good privacy rules can promote the essential human values of identity, power, freedom, and trust. If we want to preserve our commitments to these precious yet fragile values, we will need privacy rules. Richards explains why privacy remains so important and offers strategies that can help us protect it from the forces that are working to undermine it. Pithy and forceful, this is essential reading for anyone interested in a topic that sits at the center of so many current problems.

Abstract

Der Prozess der Digitalisierung in der Wirtschaft wirft sowohl in Deutschland als auch in China verschiedenste Rechtsfragen auf, denen sich die Autorinnen und Autoren in 14 Beiträgen widmen. Sie bieten einen Einblick in das deutsche, europäische und chinesische Verbraucher-, Vertrags-, Wettbewerbs- und Urheberrecht sowie das Datenschutzrecht.
