Co-filer Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy has a recent column The War Against Google in The Nation along with a number of recent blog entries explaining the issues. In November, PIRG and CDD had filed a previous FCC complaint asking for FTC action against Microsoft, Google and others for a broad variety of new behavioral tracking practices that fail to guarantee Internet privacy and may subject conusmers to price discrimination (weblining) and other harms. Privacy on the Internet, to the extent that it is guaranteed at all, is protected largely through privacy policies, not by enforceable privacy rights. The two complaints, together, raise troubling questions about how new technologies have enabled the collection and use of massive consumer information resources by Internet firms, for a variety of behavioral, consumer control and other purposes without any government oversight, consumer knowledge or consent or any ethical consideration of the implications on consumer lives. Yet, the technologies also afford an historic opportunity to protect privacy, if used fairly.
