BERKELEY, Calif. -- An FTC commissioner made explicit the iron fist of federal legislation beneath the velvet glove of industry self-regulation that the commission left open in a recent privacy report supporting a Do Not Track system for online information. “We will go to Congress to take up this issue” if industry “doesn’t move quickly and sufficiently,” Commissioner Julie Brill said late Wednesday at a Berkeley Center for Law and Technology conference. The December preliminary report left open whether Do Not Track should be required by law.
