Can you please help me with this question? A credit card processor for e-businesses is concerned about the recent series of thefts of customer identities in the market. They are also concerned about the responsibilities around customer privacy. Privacy is an important issue for e-business.

Research privacy issues as they relate to e-business. In your paper, discuss why privacy has become an important issue for e-business and some steps that can, or should, be taken to ensure that the privacy needs of individuals are met without compromising the needs of an e-business.

Use at least one state or federal law that deals with e-business and privacy as an example, and discuss that law as it relates to the question.
