“…Protections vary by state law, administrative regulations, case law, and industry-specific (e.g., education, financial services) guidelines. On the other hand, Europe has a detailed Data Protection Directive that tends to be more protective of workers' privacy (Boyne, 2018).…”

As a variety of electronic monitoring methods such as global positioning systems are available, monitoring employees without notice is a consideration even though several laws ban it and ethical questions remain. Monitoring without notice has risks that Human Resources (HR) managers should consider when they set monitoring policies to enhance knowledge management. A total of 174 HR managers were asked about their top reasons to electronically monitor employees with or without notice. About half received information that a company did not notify employees of electronic monitoring and the other half received the opposite information. Prospect theory was the basis for collecting data to understand the importance of risk in setting policies. It states that people in perceived good conditions avoid risk because they feel there is more to lose than to gain. The leading reason to electronically monitor employees for both groups was computer virus and malware protection. Organizational threats associated with legal issues showed more HR support for monitoring without notice. Opportunities associated with employee productivity indicated relatively more support for monitoring with notice. As a result of this research, perceived threats in the workplace are significant reasons why HR managers might not provide notice of monitoring in the workplace. This has potential legal and ethical implications.

“…The legislation of many states requires a way to unsubscribe from a mailing list in their spam regulation, this rule needs some choice before an email is ever sent. In the case of California and Delaware, specific authorization must be allowed or a certain business relationship must exist for an individual to receive the message (Boyne, 2018).…”

Spam is the massive sending of messages over the Internet. This activity is carried out mainly for commercial and marketing purposes and causes a series of harm and conflicts of great relevance in the digital world. It is the responsibility of the Law to regulate this activity and protect the rights of the citizens. The objective of this article is to study this phenomenon, starting from its origin, establishing a clear definition, pointing out the most relevant types that have the greatest impact, and addressing the legal problems that derive from it. Through the analysis of documentary sources such as scientific articles, legislation, and practical guides related to spam, the different aspects of the legal systems of the most relevant countries have been reviewed to evaluate a single legal model that would allow facing the problem. Accordingly, a series of proposals and recommendations can be extracted to aim at a legal harmonization that is more adequate and more effective for the regulation of spam, as well as to point out the legal aspects at the international level that need to be improved.

“…15 Though issued by a continental authority, its impact goes well beyond European borders. 16,17 The USA also have data protection legislation in place, 18 which is organized under a different approach, employing a combination of laws at the federal and state levels and adopting an industry-specific view. Through RQ1, we wish to examine differences in the level of interest in privacy issues among Europe, the USA, and the rest of the world.…”

Parallel to the increasing use of smart speakers (aka virtual assistants), privacy concerns emerge. In this article, we provide a systematic review of the literature on privacy issues in smart speakers. Both Scopus and Web of Science databases are examined, as well as the preprint repository arXiv, to take into account the most recent contributions. That literature exhibits a continuously growing trend in the last 4 years, with the USA being the single largest contributor to the field.The topics debated in the literature concern the perception of privacy issues, their contribution to adoption choices, the identification of vulnerabilities, the proposal of possible countermeasures, and (last and least) the analysis of the legal cases that are arising.
