Obama FTC Spells Trouble: Part II
A comment left by privacy advocate Jeff Chester on a piece that appeared here criticizing the direction the Federal Trade Commission is taking under President Barack Obama perfectly illustrates how utterly bereft of substance the online privacy movement’s arguments are.
In the piece with which Chester took issue, I pointed out that with the appointment of Jon Leibowitz to head the FTC along with two other rumored appointments, it looks as if the privacy movement is about to gain serious traction at the agency: very bad news for online marketers and advertisers.
