In their report, "Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change", the Federal Trade Commission backed the creation of a "Do Not Track" option to protect the privacy of individuals using the Internet. The Internet is growing rapidly and is being coming more widely used by more people with each passing day. It is important that our right to privacy be protected. Contact your governments representatives to pass legislation to create this option and protect our privacy while shopping, chatting, surfing or doing anything on the web.
According to the Internet World Stats, as of June 30, 2010 there were 1,966,514,816 Internet users worldwide. That figure must have easily passed the Two Billion mark by now. Individual Privacy is an issue that is should be important to every citizen in every nation. Legislation like this should be passed in every nation. Then the issue of Individual Privacy should be expanded to not only protect our use of the Internet but should be applied to all aspects of our lives, including our personal, financial and medical information.
If you are in the United States, go to <Congress.Org> where you can easily contact The President, your Senator's and Representatives in Congress about this and any other issue.
Now is the time to get involved and this is just the issue to do it .
