WEBSITES FACING 'PRIVACY STORM'
At a forum held by the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) this
week, industry members said consumer privacy fears could very
well spark a wave of privacy legislation. Online privacy is now
the top issue in the Internet industry, according to John Kamp,
Washington representative for the IAB. Kamp also warned the
industry that the Wall Street Journal's recent poll on consumer
privacy concerns has likely been read by policymakers in
Washington. Dave Steer, communications director for TRUSTe, said
that conditions are ripe for the "perfect privacy storm" thanks
to recent privacy flaps by DoubleClick, Toysmart, and other
Internet companies. (Wired News, 2000 July 13)
