Survey Shows Support For New Privacy Laws 80
GovTechGuy writes "Two-thirds of consumers want the government to safeguard their privacy online and 81 percent want to add their names to a Do Not Track list, according to a May poll released Tuesday by Consumers Union. In addition, over 80 percent of respondents were concerned that companies may be sharing their personal information with third parties without their permission. The survey's release comes just one day before a Senate Commerce Committee hearing where lawmakers will hear testimony on three data privacy bills currently in front of the Senate."

"Personal responsibility" is NOT dressing in a Burqa to keep from being raped. Personal responsibility is NOT RAPING OTHER PEOPLE. Why are you calling for ME to have "personal responsibility" but not the corporations?
Cookies have many very good uses, like not having to log into slashdot every time you visit. Stalking people is NOT one of them. And most people (non-slashdotters) wouldn't have a clue how to NOT store cookies. How about making laws keeping the goddamned sociopathic corporations from stalking you without your permission?
