Answer to Question 1

Privacy is the moral right of individuals to be left alone, free from surveillance or interference from other individuals including the state.

Information privacy includes both the right to prohibit certain information from being collected by either governments or businesses and the right to control the use of whatever information is collected about you. The core concept is the control of your own personal information.

The right to be forgotten is the claim of individuals to be able to edit and delete personal information online.

Informed consent means that an individual has knowledge of all of the material facts needed to make a rational decision and consent has been given to collect information. In the United States, business firms and government agencies can gather transaction data from the marketplace and use it for other marketing purposes without the informed consent of the individual. In Europe, on the other hand, this is illegal. European businesses can only use transaction data to support the current transaction if they have asked for and received the informed consent of the individual.

In fantasy sports, players assemble their ideal fantasy teams, drafting real-life athletes to their team, and then, based on the performance of those players in real games, they can win significant prizes. The most popular sports are college football and basketball, and professional football and baseball. Players are given a budget that they can use to draft players, and some of the combined fees for each game make up the pool for which players compete. Entry fees range widely from less than a dollar, to over 1,000. Fantasy sports games are permitted in 45 states. Fantasy sports were exempted from the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) on the grounds that fantasy sports are not gambling, but instead games of skill like chess or Scrabble. However, as the industry has grown to billion-dollar venture capital valuations, allegations of cheating customers, deceptive practices, lack of transparency, and insider irregularities have arisen, and state and federal legislators are holding hearings and considering regulations. In November 2015, New York State attorney general Eric Schneiderman told the two most prominent firms, DraftKings and FanDuel, to stop taking entries from New York State residents because, in the state's opinion, their operations constitute illegal gambling. However, after lengthy legislative hearings, and strong support from sports fans, New York reversed its position, arguing that when played fairly, fantasy sports gambling was a game of skill, not gambling, and legalized the practice while imposing a regulatory regime on the industry to ensure its fair operation
