Sen. Rockefeller Announces Anti-Online-Tracking Bill
Found on Wired on Friday, 06 May 2011
Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) said the bill, to be introduced next week, will create a "universal obligation for all online companies" to not track people who set a browser flag or cookie saying they don't want to be tracked.
"This bill will offer a simple, straightforward way for people to stop companies from tracking their every move on the internet."
Oh yeah, I can already see the 100% success rate. Instead of telling the user to opt-out, companies should be required to have the user opt-in.
