Whois implications? House Bill Would Authorize FTC to Establish Data Privacy Requirements for C

All,

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

(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,
