This thesis will explore the development of digital privacy laws globally, focusing on key regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S. Analyze how these laws have shaped data protection practices among companies and how they balance the rights of consumers with the needs of businesses. Include case studies of privacy breaches and their consequences on companies and individuals. The thesis should propose improvements to current digital privacy laws and examine the challenges of enforcing these regulations in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
