Abstract
The absence of serious market failure or consumer harm suggests that the potential benefits of new privacy regulations are very small. We, therefore, focus on the potential costs of such regulations. We first discuss some general problems that are likely to occur if this market is subject to more regulation and then examine in greater detail the proposals of the FTC and others.

Federal Trade Commission (2000a), Final Report of the FTC Advisory Committee on Online Access and Security, May 15, 2000, http://www.ftc.gov/acoas/papers/finalreport.htm. A fair reading of the report is that the Committee was strongly opposed to regulation of access and security. We indicate some of the areas in which it was opposed, but reading the Report leads one to wonder why the FTC commissioned it if the plan was to proceed independently of the Committee recommendations, which is exactly what occurred.
