Federal Trade Commission Holds Meeting on Targeted Online Advertising
The Federal Trade Commission will hold meetings today and tomorrow about online privacy. The questions they will entertain include how much control people need or want over the vast trove of information that corporate America routinely collects about people as they click from site to site on the Internet. In advance of the F.T.C. meetings, a coalition of consumer groups called yesterday for a do-not-track list that would permit people to opt out of so-called behavioral tracking programs, which use data about a consumer�s Web travels to deliver relevant ads.
F.T.C. to Review Online Ads and Privacy, New York Times, November 1, 2007.
