[This is a problem for those who, like EPIC, advocate greater regulation of companies. Regulators don't always do what advocates want. In fact, the existence of the FTC as an ostensible "privacy protecting" agency might well give folks a false sense of privacy online. Better to trust technology and market incentives to protect your privacy -- instead of bureaucrats. --DBM] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- the moderated mailing list of politics and technology To subscribe: send a message to majordomo () vorlon mit edu with this text: subscribe politech More information is at http://www.well.com/~declan/politech/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
