U.S. regulators push for online "do not track" system – Firstpost
U.S. regulators pushed Internet companies on Monday to adopt a “Do Not Track” system that would give consumers more control over their personal data online, U.S. regulators pushed Internet companies on Monday to adopt a “Do Not Track” system that would give consumers more control over their personal data online, and asked Congress to pass privacy legislation. The FTC in its report urged companies to consider consumer privacy when creating software, rather than adding privacy options later, and to be clear to consumers what data they are collecting and why. The FTC also noted multiple privacy bills moving through Congress, and urged lawmakers to consider enacting general privacy legislation, data security and breach notification legislation, and data broker legislation. In its own privacy push last month, the White House proposed a “privacy bill of rights” that would give consumers more control over their data but relies heavily on voluntary commitments by Internet companies like Google Inc and Facebook.
