InfoCons Consumer Protection in Cybersecurity : Behavioral Analysis
This date was chosen in memory of the historic speech delivered on March 15, 1962, by the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, before the U.S. Congress. In that speech, the fundamental consumer rights were first articulated: the Right to Safety, the Right to be Informed, the Right to Choose, and the Right to be Heard—principles that form the basis of the modern global consumer protection movement and are also recognized as fundamental human rights.
Today, World Consumer Rights Day represents an important moment to reaffirm these rights and to promote a safer and more responsible marketplace for all consumers.
