It's almost kind of poetic sounding...maybe it's because of so many single-syllable words.
I wonder if this means my AVP will stop having to remove the same nine programs every time it's run...
Of course it has exemptions, but still, it sounds pretty good to me.Rep. Jackie Speier (D-California) introduced a bill Friday that would require online-tracking firms to allow citizens to opt out of tracking, or else face stiff fines.
The bill, known as the Do-Not-Track-Me-Online Act, intends to let people choose a no-tracking setting in their browser and have companies obey that setting. The rules would mainly apply to companies whose primary business is collecting and analyzing data, but has loopholes for companies that collect data to improve their own services. Under those provisions, the FTC could rule website-analytics software to be legal.
The FTC asked browser makers in December to include a Do-Not-Track button in their browser, and called on online-advertising companies to agree to obey the settings. The setting is already available in beta builds of Firefox, and will soon be integrated into Chrome and IE as well.
Oddly, the proposed law would not likely affect the profiling practices of Facebook, which is becoming the leader in online targeted ads. That’s because the company collects information from users when users are logged into their accounts, focusing on what users tell the company about themselves, rather than doing what Google’s DoubleClick ad system does — watching what people do around the web.
