Privacy Newsletter: National Do Not Call List Raises Privacy Concerns for Telemarketers
3/10/2003
This issue of the Privacy Newsletter covers several topics of importance, the primary of which is a discussion of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) recent amending of its Telemarketing Sales Rule, which created a national "do not call" registry. While there is widespread public approval for the registry, numerous concerns are being raised by the telemarketing industry, including privacy and jurisdictional issues.
Additional topics discussed inside this issue include Microsoft's agreement with the EU, Verizons fight to not turn over to the Recording Industry Association of America the name of one of its DSL customers, and The FTC's settlement with Mrs. Field's and Hershey over alleged violations of the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act.
