Online Privacy after the DOC and FTC Reports

Online Privacy after the DOC and FTC Reports

 

C-SPAN Video Available Here

  

 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Friday March 4, 2011
Room B339
Rayburn House Office Building
Washington DC

 

The long-awaited Federal Trade Commission and Department of Commerce reports outlined recommendations for online privacy policy ranging from strengthening multi-stakeholder models to a "Do Not Track" mechanism for internet browsers.   Congress is now poised to add its voice to the debate, with legislation already introduced and more to come.   With the proposals representing a wide swath of options, how can policymakers choose the best course of action?  How will each proposal affect online businesses and consumers?  Alternately, is a federal privacy policy needed or advisable?  Panelists will discuss the findings of the recent DOC and FTC reports and will give their suggestions on how policymakers in both the agencies and Congress can move forward on online privacy issues.
