The Senate Acts on Two Privacy Measures
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation sent the Wireless 411 Privacy Act and the SPY BLOCK (Software Principles Yielding Better Levels of Consumer Knowledge) Act to the full Senate for consideration. Both bills would increase consumer privacy: one would help cellphone customers keep their numbers private, and the other bill would offer relief to computer users from having spyware technology installed on their machines without their consent by vendors.
