[IRP] US Privacy Groups Call for New Safeguards for Online Advertising

[Katitza Rodriguez]

A coalition of consumer organizations is urging the United States  
Congress to adopt new legislation for behavioral tracking and ad  
targeting. Led by the Center for Digital Democracy, the groups say  
that self-regulation has failed to protect privacy. The consumer  
groups have issued Principles on Online Behavioral Tracking and  
Targeting and an overview. Earlier this year, the FTC recommended new  
principles for online advertising but stopped short of recommending  
legislation.
