Autogestão da privacidade e o dilema do consentimento

Resumo

A abordagem regulamentar vigente para a proteção da privacidade supõe o que eu chamo "autogestão da privacidade": A lei da às pessoas um conjunto de direitos que lhes permitem ponderar os custos e benefícios da recoleção, uso ou divulgação de sua informação. O consentimento legitima quase qualquer tipo de recoleção, uso ou divulgação de dados pessoais. Embora a autogestão da privacidade é certamente um componente necesário de qualquer regime regulatório, em este artigo eu considero que as expectativas colocadas sobre este regime estão além de suas posibilidades. A autogestão da privacidade não dá às pessoas um controle significativo sobre seus dados. Além disso, as pessoas não podem autogerir sua privacidade corretamente devido a uma série de problemas estruturais. Há muitas entidades recolhendo e utilizando dados pessoais como para que seja factível que as pessoas gerem sua privacidade separadamente com cada entidade. É virtualmente impossível para as pessoas ponderar os custos e benefícios de revelar informação ou permitir a sua utilização ou transferência sem uma compreensão das potenciais utilizações subseqüentes, limitando ainda mais a efetividade da autogestão da privacidade. Em este artigo, eu proponho várias formas em que as leis de privacidade podem lidar com o dilema do consentimento e deixar de confiar demais na autogestão da privacidade.

Palavras-chave:

Privacidade, proteção de dados pessoais, autogestão da privacidade, consentimento
