- Title
PRIVACY AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS: WHY CHANGING EXPECTATIONS DEMAND HEIGHTENED STANDARDS.
- Authors
JOHNSON, GRAHAM
- Abstract
Entertainment consoles, wearable monitors, and security systems. For better or worse, internet-connected devices are revolutionizing the consumer products industry. Referred to broadly as the Internet of Things (IoT), this 'smart' technology is drastically increasing the means, scope, and frequency by which individuals communicate their personal information. This Note explores the disruptive impact of IoT consumer devices on the U.S.'s patchwork system of privacy protections. After presenting a high-level survey of several key regulatory issues, this Note argues that the proliferation of IoT devices exposes a fundamental flaw in the Katz "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard. As individual expectations of privacy rapidly and inevitably deteriorate, societal norms will follow suit, resulting in a Fourth Amendment standard, which is incompatible and outdated in this new, interconnected reality.
