[ga] Whois implications? House Bill Would Authorize FTC to Establish Data Privacy Requirements for Companies

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  We are strongly supporting this type of legislation.  What is
concerning
is is the FTC able to realistically enforce it provisions without bias?

See:

(9 February 2007)
US Congressional representatives Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) and Cliff Stearns
(R-Fla.) last week introduced the Data Accountability and Trust Act,
which would authorize the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish
data privacy requirements for businesses.  Companies would be required
to conduct vulnerability assessments and develop and implement policies
for eliminating data they no longer need.  US legislators will be
looking at a number of other technology-related bills as well.

Regards,
