Coalition Wants Stronger Web Privacy Laws.

The article focuses on a call from a coalition of ten U.S. privacy and consumer groups for the federal government to provide new privacy protections for Web users. The groups include the Center for Digital Democracy, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
