This chapter provides an overview of several recently proposed or passed privacy-related regulations, including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Illinois Video Interview Act, Data Broker Regulations in Vermont, and Privacy Bill of Rights Act, and related but very limited studies. Toward the end, several research opportunities are discussed. These research opportunities include (1) economic consequences of these new regulations and (2) the new research framework to capture novel features of these regulations to explain security compliance. The authors further discuss possible research designs to address the proposed research opportunities. This chapter provides both professionals and researchers additional insights on the regulation of privacy issues.
