Diesmal der andere, indem er gegen die eigenen Privacy Guidelines der Federal Trade Commission in Sachen Kinderschutz verstösst, meint die NY Times. -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- By JERI CLAUSING WASHINGTON August 31, 1998-- When it comes to online privacy, it seems that the Clinton administration has not been practicing what it preaches. Only a handful of the administration's sites on the World Wide Web post the kinds of privacy guidelines that the Federal Trade Commission recently criticized businesses for failing to post, and none of the administration's sites offer the special protections for children that the government recommends for commercial sites. ... For example, the White House site collects e-mail addresses -- and in some cases, home addresses -- through links that allow visitors to send electronic messages to President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice President Al Gore and Mrs. Gore. Yet, it does not provide any notice about how that information will be used by the White House. Nor does the site ask visitors to its special children's pages to consult their parents before divulging personal information, as the administration has recommended. ... "It's really a matter of practicing what they preach," said David Banisar, senior policy analyst and staff counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a public interest research group in Washington. "They have been pushing notice and consent, and they can't even do it themselves. They really have a dismal record on this." ... The administration has endorsed child-protection legislation that was introduced in response to the FTC report. It has also endorsed new self-regulation guidelines and enforcement procedures recently proposed by the Online Privacy Alliance, a coalition of businesses and associations that seeks to foster privacy protections. Those guidelines call for all Internet businesses to clearly post policies concerning the use and collection of personal information, and they require Web site operators to obtain parental approval before gathering data from children. Yet, despite the administration's support for these measures, the White House Web site collects information from children without parental notification. Within a special children's section on the site, a White House tour led by cartoon caricatures of the "First Pets," Buddy the dog and Socks the cat, ends with an invitation to send e-mail to President Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton or Vice President Al Gore. ... full text reg/istr/ierungs/pflicht/ig http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/98/08/cyber/articles/31privacy.html Wer ohnehin nur 1mal in die NY Times gucken möchte, kann es mit "qdepesche" & "freiabo" beim login probieren ;) -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- TIP Für tägliche Media/News (Print, TV, Net) mit AT & DE Bezug empfehlen wir, die oejc Liste zu sub/scribieren http://www.oejc.or.at/oejc/mailto/welcome.html -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- --.-q/depesche taeglich ueber--.- internationale hacks--.-zensur im netz crypto--.-IT mergers--.-monopole & die universalitaet digitaler dummheit subscribe http://www.quintessenz.at -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1998-09-01 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
