by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - March 4, 2011 - n. Privacy Rights On the Internet
Online privacy is being harder to come by as we all continue to suffer under the "Facebook Effect." Essentially, Facebook has lowered the bar so much for internet privacy, we can only expect that other companies will follow. Will the Untied States Federal Government step in? Will individual States pass laws to mandate online privacy and privacy policy regulations?
The "Do Not Track Me Online Act of 2011" would give the Federal Trade Commission the right to create regulations that would force online marketers to respect the wishes of consumers who did not want to be tracked, allowing consumers to opt-out of online tracking.
