Conclusion

Changed:
<
<		There is a growing gap between the actual value of personal information and consumers' perceived value of such information. A Privacy Facts label would help close this gap by unveiling, concisely, what websites track. While there are private sector solutions, like the TRUSTe Web Privacy Seal, they still fail to inform consumers of the real outcomes of revealing personal information. Further, their voluntary nature makes true change difficult. Thus, as personal information value gap increases, I argue that requiring a Privacy Facts label is the necessary path to empowering and protecting consumers.
