NY State seeks to regulate online privacy and marketing
Over at his Digital Destiny blog, Jeff Chester comments here and in a later post Time Warner/AOL, Google & Microsoft Ganging Up to Kill NY Consumer Privacy Bill? on important efforts by Assemblyman Richard Brodsky to regulate behavioral targeting. In the New York Times, reporter Louise Story described Brodsky's efforts last week: A Push to Limit the Tracking of Web Surfers’ Clicks. We have partnered with Chester's group, the Center for Digital Democracy, on several petitions to the FTC concerning the growing use of ad-driven business models on the Internet that track consumer habits and manipulate their choices. [This entry was posted for a short time over the weekend, but somehow disappeared when I tried to add the fancy picture I made (it changes from Google to DoubleClick and back, when it works)].
