Submitted by demedia on Thu, 09/15/2011 - 11:43The Article 29 Working Party, the group of EU privacy regulators, has played an extraordinarily important role in proactively protecting the privacy of citizens and consumers. We admire them because they are willing to ask the tough questions and offer meaningful remedies on behalf of the public--something our FTC also needs to do. The FTC is lagging when it comes to saying what many of us know. The IAB self-regulatory "can you see the tiny icon underneath the multimedia video" icon isn't designed to work.
