Online Tracking: Federal Regulation Needed?

If we try to talk about industry self-regulation, who in the industry has a stake in keeping my information private? You can argue that some will because they have an interest in not being regulated.

I think foxes should be assigned to ("self")-regulate chicken farms. (Just in case, be advised that that's satire / sarcasm.)

I believe the Fed's are actively looking for ways to control the internet. This tactic, as well as net neutrality and others are being used to get their foot in the door.

Internet tracking by companies can be held at bay by disabling/deleting cookies. Once the Fed's are in the business of controlling the internet, they will never go away, and they will continue to give themselves more control until it no longer resembles the internet that we use today.

The internet is yet another aspect of our lives that the government needs to stay the hell out of.

Monitor the internet for criminal or terrorist activity.................absolutely. That's where it needs to end.

Control and tax I like to add.

the feds should opt out...
