Privacy Past and Present: A Father-Daughter Look at Data Privacy Evolution
summary
Claim: privacy law starts with the 1890 Warren & Brandeis article sparked by instant photography and then evolves through Fourth Amendment cases—Katz, Jones, Riley, Carpenter—creating the modern reasonable expectation of privacy. Facts: companies hold ~65 million user profiles (example: eHarmony), GDPR (2018) and CCPA/CPRA drive stricter rights, Schrems decisions disrupt EU‑US transfers, no U.S. federal privacy law yet but one is expected. Practical tools: data mapping, lean data approach, automated subject access request workflows, third‑party assessments and staff training; build automation carefully or switch it off.
