FTC's Invitation to Comment on Privacy Challenges

From the FTC's site:


The Federal Trade Commission will host a series of day-long public roundtable discussions to explore the privacy challenges posed by the vast array of 21st century technology and business practices that collect and use consumer data. Such practices include social networking, cloud computing, online behavioral advertising, mobile marketing, and the collection and use of information by retailers, data brokers, third-party applications, and other diverse businesses. The Commission invites interested parties to submit written comments or original research. A list of specific questions to inform the first roundtable discussions may be found at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/privacyroundtables. The goal of the roundtables is to determine how best to protect consumer privacy while supporting beneficial uses of the information and technological innovation. The Commission will post additional questions to inform the subsequent roundtable discussions at a later date.
