Abstract
Although e-commerce's rapid expansion has fundamentally altered how consumers
engage with businesses, the digital revolution has also given rise to a number of new
consumer protection-related legal concerns. As online purchases become increasingly
prevalent, consumers face an increasing variety of risks, including fraud, deceptive
advertising, data breaches, and unclear return policies. Because e-commerce is global
in scope, jurisdictional issues make it difficult to hold businesses accountable across
borders. The fast-changing digital transaction landscape and the rise of new
technologies like artificial intelligence are making it harder for traditional consumer
protection laws to stay up to date. As e-commerce grows, lawmakers, regulators, and
businesses must collaborate to create modern, cohesive legal frameworks that provide
robust consumer protections and keep up with technological developments
