FTC Town Hall on Internet Targeting of Consumers Today

Today, both U.S. PIRG staff attorney Amina Fazlullah and The Center for Digital Democracy's Jeff Chester are featured panelists at the opening day of the FTC's 2-day Town Hall on Behavioral Targeting and Internet Advertising. Watch this space. At 9 am we will post the latest update to our fall 2006 CDD/U.S. PIRG complaint to the FTC outlining the scope of threats to privacy and consumer well-being posed by the Internet's unchained and unregulated search/advertising business model. Many trace the origins of this town hall to the issues we raised one year ago.
