FTC Worried About Big Online Platforms, Only Sort Of Means Facebook and Google

The Federal Trade Commission just released a new report laying out its current thinking on Internet privacy. In some cases, the commission recommends new legislation, while in others it just want to hold more workshops. The FTC previously released a "privacy framework" in December 2010. The framework outlined three principles that the commission wants companies to follow, including "privacy by design" (which means thinking about privacy at every stage of product development), simplified consumer choice, and greater transparency. It made perhaps its biggest splash by endorsing a "Do Not Track" mechanism in Web browsers. The FTC didn't invent the idea, but DNT has gained more momentum?since it made the endorsement.
