Groups Praise Spyware Bill's Passage
Technology Daily's PM edition reports on the House approval of legislation aimed at curbing secretly installed computer spyware. Industry groups seemed pleased with the news.
The bill "offers potent means for addressing the serious problem of spyware without resorting to a sweeping regulatory regime that harms innovation," ITAA President Phil Bond said in a press release. He also called upon the Senate to take up the issue.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau also applauded the approval of H.R. 1525. IAB President Randall Rothenberg said the legislation sends "a strong message to individuals and organizations who attempt to steal consumers’ sensitive information for illegitimate gain and serves as further assurance that those who seek to defraud consumers will suffer the consequences.”
