This article provides an in-depth look at data privacy in the modern world. Specifically, it states that data privacy statutes, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC’s) Digital Platform Inquiry’s recommendations, and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are insufficient to address issues with data privacy. However, it stresses the need to redraft statutes to protect the rights and interests of individual humans to live without the risk of “excessive intrusion” in order to ameliorate problems with data privacy.
