In scheduling a two day Town Hall to Examine Privacy Issues and Online Behavioral Advertising on 1-2 November, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken its first deliberative, tentative baby steps in response to the fall 2006 online privacy complaint filed by U.S. PIRG and the Center for Digital Democracy. The FTC has also received additional filings in support of our views from other experts, as well as our subsequent USPIRG/CDD/EPIC petition against Google/DoubleClick's merger. PC World explains that the FTC wants to "learn more about current practices in targeted advertising." But our co-complainant, Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy says in the same story: "The FTC should be issuing rules, not invitations for an industry talkfest that will result in a delay protecting consumers."
