The European Union as Guardian of Internet Privacy: The Story of Article 16 TFEU

摘要

In The European Union as Guardian of Internet Privacy: The Story of Article 16 TFEU, Hijmans' goal is to convey that by virtue of its legal and institutional structures, the European Union (EU) is best placed to take on large Internet companies in the 'big data' era to regain control of personal data privacy and protection online. With his target audience being those looking for an entry point into this complex area of European law, he succeeds in delivering a book that is comprehensive in its coverage of the scope of issues at play in this field. These issues are dealt with thematically, and are built upon as the chapters proceed.
