“…For such information, OETs need to take appropriate counteraction at the online services that store the PI. Based on data mining and machine learning, future work should develop such autonomous, intelligent user agents (e.g., Le Métayer and Monteleone, 2009). Second, accessible PI on the web dates back to a progressively longer history, thereby not only transcending spatial but also temporal boundaries (Marx, 2001).…”

Unlimited retention of personal information on the web may harm individuals: employers can find youthful indiscretions on social media, and incorrectly low credit scores may haunt individuals for a lifetime. Currently, Europe revives the "right to erasure" as a first step towards a forgetting web. Early technologies implementing oblivion suffer from vulnerabilities and narrowly assume that users require information to be erased after a pre-determined time. But little is known about users' actual oblivion needs. A first study shows that users desire control over disclosed personal information to reduce pre-disclosure privacy concerns, and to delete harmful information after disclosure. In the long run, users have a need for dissociating from obsolete information that represents their past identity. A second study analyses whether oblivion-enhancing technologies (OETs) currently deployed in online services satisfy users' needs. While not all services give users assurance that disclosed information can be erased again, most provide users with some active control. But to manage the increasing volume of personal information stored, users would also require "intelligent" support with oblivion. Intelligent agents that keep track of disclosed information long-term could automatically safeguard users from information relating to a past episode in life surfacing unexpectedly.

“…Electronic consent, mirroring the core elements of traditional consent, is a multifaceted concept conveyed through various means such as written documentation, electronic mail, or other direct communication channels (Le Métayer & Monteleone, 2009). Legislative stipulations, as observed in Jordan, underscore the importance of specific criteria for electronic consent, emphasizing distinctiveness, user identification determination, and electronic code control (Albalawee, 2023).…”

The primary objective of this study is to delve into the intricacies of econtracting within a legal framework. The researcher undertakes an in-depth exploration of the legal aspects associated with e-contracting, elucidating the fundamental components that constitute an e-contract. The initial section of the study encompasses the researcher's definitions and discussions regarding the concept, execution, and methods for validating e-contracts. Subsequently, the paper explores the domain of arbitration specific to such contracts, with a particular emphasis on electronic arbitration and electronic negotiations in its second segment. Employing an analytical descriptive approach, the researcher addresses the central theme, focusing on the application of traditional contract articles to electronic contracts. This encompasses an examination of electronic consent, acceptance, and electronic arbitration. The study's findings offer insights into e-contracts, characterizing them as agreements forged online. Furthermore, the study scrutinizes critical elements such as satisfaction, Lex loci, rationale, and the mode of communication, whether visual or auditory. This analytical inquiry aims to provide significant contributions to the comprehension of e-contracting within the legal landscape.

“…However, the euphoria of the first moment seems to be replaced by a colder attitude towards the over-sharing social networking system. Though few data exist at the moment 11 , it is possible that "the age of overshare…the age of brag is over". 12 Knowing what is the favorite SN of contemporary users is not the aim of this paper; however, what these new trends testify is that users start to prioritize privacy to data disclosure.…”

“…Though young people may ignore (and it is not always the case) the risks of being tracked, of the data usage made by their favorite website, of the profiling for marketing purposes, they seem however to have started to naturally move towards "contextual social networks", more restricted platforms apt to truly shared interests 16 , as well as to prefer privacy protective websites (like Tumblr, with its simple privacy 11 See the Pew Internet Report on a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center that shows, if not a mass abandon to FaceBook but more a fragmentation and a shift in the behaviour of FB users, who have taken breaks from using the site in the last years (61%) and who plan to spend less time on the SN during the 2013 (an almost 40% of young users). Notable numbers point to a decreasing value and a decline in usage over the past year.…”

“…However, political resistances or practical difficulties prevent their adoption. Examples of the implementation of a legal-technical approach, better called as privacy by design 30 , are, for instance, the privacy agents studied for online environments or for the more concealed data processing carried out in ubiquitous computing (Ambient Intelligence) 31 . Similar to these agents are the tools ideated to make privacy policies more accessible 32 or more effective by increasing their interactive nature (like the 'visceral notices') 33 .…”

The Privacy Paradox between Users’ Attitudes, Stringent Legal Framework and (the Lack of) Adequate Implementation Tools

This paper discusses the phenomenon, typical of our Digital Age, called as the 'privacy paradox': although users are aware of the threats to their privacy, the analysis of their online behavior seemingly shows a lack of interest in their privacy, as they keep using online services and products, and even if they know their privacy rights and the existing legal measures to protect them, they appear unwilling of using available protection tools. This paper will show that the reason of this (apparent) paradox is not necessarily the users' neglectful attitude towards their privacy but should be found in the lack of effective implementation tools, at both legal and technical level (e.g. privacy policies).
