[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.
