White House Outlines Online Privacy Guidelines http://j.mp/xfTZOM (New York Times) "The Obama administration on Wednesday outlined a set of online privacy principles that officials said would help consumers control the use of their personal data gleaned from Internet searches." --Lauren-- - - - It would be extraordinarily useful if we started with concise definitions of what tracking even actually means. It is not a simple question. All too often data is treated by politicians as if it were all the same in terms of personal import and degree of linkage to identifiable individuals. And we need to consider if consumers are willing to start paying directly under anti-"tracking" regimes for much of what they get for free now. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
