Disclosing some amount of information, again and again. Stands like that don't win much support from libertarian-leaning Netizens. None of the three bills made it as far as the hearing stage on Capitol Hill. But the CDT and Internet Services Association have opposed all three of the bills, citing impracticality of enforcement, First Amendment objections or both. Since there are people who can profit from invading others' privacy in virtually all facets of society, EPIC wants something beyond the current patchwork of laws.
Most privacy issues come down to a handful of questions.
Perhaps chief among them is how well ordinary people can judge how and when they want to release information about themselves. That's where the CME steps in. In the past two years, the CME has almost single-handedly dragged into the public eye dozens of companies that gather ages, names, addresses and a host of personal preferences from children online. The Direct Marketing Association opposed direct action. It's not at all past the realm of practicality to expect some guidelines in place.
