Its motivation is as follows: 1) data collection in digital markets renders private information verifiable; 2) due to unravelling, this verifiability effect of data impacts regulation at a fundamental level; 3) extant work on privacy regulation abstracts from the effect; 4) data privacy rules that ignore verifiability effects lead to misguided…
