	GetNetWise \| Center for Democracy & Technology
		CDT believes that the best way to protect children online, while respecting constitutional free speech and privacy values, is to empower families with the information and tools they need to protect themselves online.
		CDT was an early and active participant in the development and deployment of GetNetWise, and encourages its use by families and its adoption by businesses.
		CDT reported those findings in its recent report entitled, "Why Am I Getting All This Spam?" Part of that report included "Spam Savvy Tips," which CDT has actively publicized as consumers' first steps toward reducing the amount of unwanted spam in their inboxes.

	The Center for Democracy and Technology - Kidsrule Comment
		CDT believes that the intent of the law and the FTC's proposed Rule is to place liability on the shoulders of those who can best handle it: the entity that is collecting and using the information (operator).
		CDT believes that the FTC should require operators to inform parents of the uses that third parties will make of their child's information and to inform parents if the third-parties information practices differ in a material way from the operators.
		CDT would also suggest that it is possible that all changes may not rise to the level of requiring additional consent.

	Comment 048 - Center for Democracy and Technology
		CDT is a non-profit, public interest organization working to protect and advance civil liberties and democratic values on the Internet.
		CDT believes that new technologies can be designed to enable citizens to exercise greater control over the collection and use of personal information.
		CDT's comments will focus on: the role technological tools such as the Platform for Privacy Preferences can play in advancing fair information practices; the fair information practice principles that are unaddressed by current and anticipated technological developments and self-regulatory efforts; and, the benefits and risks of adopting technological tools to advance privacy.

	Why Am I Getting All This Spam?
		In the summer of 2002, CDT embarked on a project to attempt to determine the source of spam.
		It should come as no surprise to most e-mail users that many of the addresses CDT created for this study attracted spam, but it is very interesting to see the different ways that e-mail addresses attracted spam -- and the different volumes -- depending on where the e-mail addresses were used.
		While this may change as time passes and technology develops, for the time being it appears that obscuring an e-mail address is an effective means of avoiding spam.

	Policy Group: Privacy Laws Lag Far Behind Data Harvest Tools - Security News by InformationWeek
		The Center for Democracy and Technology called for more stringent regulations Wednesday, citing government attempts to retrieve millions of cell phone records, its use of cell phones to track suspects, and other privacy issues.
		The widening gap between technology harvesting sensitive personal data and the laws designed to prevent misuse of that data needs to be filled, according to the Center for Democracy & Technology.
		CDT points out that new laws are needed to protect privacy from intrusions via Web-based e-mail, mobile phones, RFID, search services and keystroke loggers.

	Center for Democracy and Technology
		The report suggests that technology is making government surveillance easier, not harder, and that stronger protections are needed if innocent Americans are to retain their privacy rights.
		The capacity of Internet technology to collect and store data increases every day, as does the volume of personal information we willingly surrender as we take advantage of new services.
		Since no existing law lays out explicit standards for government location tracking, the government's use of location technology is governed by a patchwork of laws and court precedents, the report finds.

	Group Petitions FTC To Shut Down Adware Maker - E-business & Business Technology News by TechWeb
		Washington, D.C.-based Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) filed a pair of complaints with the FTC, alleging that 180solutions' "core business model depends on third-party affiliates committing unfair and deceptive practices on the company's behalf" and that the free Web hosting provider CJB.net, a 180solutions affiliate, "dupes people into installing 180solutions’ software."

		The CDT said it had been working with 180solutions for more than two years to address concerns, but that progress stalled as complaints about the firm kept pouring in.
