Our information is not being protected by the FTC or the Federal Trade Commission. The government needs to pressure the FTC to protect privacy. There is too much fraud and in order for ad business to grow consumers need to be confident that there information is protected. Restricted information to certain parties can create a sense of privacy to consumers.
Some businesses need our information so certain services remain free for consumers. There should be strict guidelines directed by government to who and how a business obtains personal information. I don’t feel strict guidelines will hurt business. The new Red Flag law made certain industries liable for consumer privacy. Information should not float freely. Certain measures need to taken to make certain that information is protected. Consumers need to be responsible for their own privacy to a certain extent. The government and the FTC should take better initiative to protect privacy.
