Onward Online Privacy
There are a lot of people that go online and can easily access information online of others because of the lack of privacy that is online. So the White House proposed a new bill of rights called "The Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights" which will ensure privacy online, calling on Web companies to minimize their collection of personal data, and help users make better choices on how they reveal their information. This bill will also make sure that major Web companies will give all internet users a "do not track" button so that the users can block some advertisers from following their movements online. Even though this could prevent the user from seeing the ads on the websites but I think that it a small price to pay so that you can avoid being tracked. I feel that this law needs to be passed because I hate getting spam mail and get calls on my cell phone to take a survey. Also this will give the user peace in mind of not having to worry if they put their email or number online for a social media network or for buying something online. This law needs to be passed immediately so that we can have better privacy while being online. It also needs to be run really efficiently to make sure that no one can hack the system and get people's information. But if that does happen then they should be penalized with consquences because it is wrong to invade other peoples privacy.
