The concluding paragraph being:
"The FCC's actions are a welcome baby step toward privacy rights, but hardly in
the same category as tough data protection rules passed in December by the
European Commission. 'Europe's approach to privacy is much stronger than in the
United States,' Peter Church, a technology lawyer in London, told the New York
Times. 'There's a fundamental difference in culture when it comes to privacy.'"
Sounds to me like the steps the FCC wants to take are the least they can do,
Craig. The article hardly shares your libertarian ideas. And what's more, since
you mentioned it, we can always lobby the FCC to do a lot more.
