Sen. Jay Rockefeller introduces Do Not Track Online Act of 2011. Bill would give consumers the ability to safeguard their privacy by opting out of having their online activities tracked. States must inform FTC and state law enforcement action is precluded; violators would be subject to civil penalties. Bill has been endorsed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, Consumer Action and the Center for Digital Democracy. The bill would apply to mobile devices, too.”]
