_Privacy Online: A Report to Congress_

The US Federal Trade Commission provides this site, highlighted by the
availability of its _Privacy Online: A Report to Congress_. This 43 page
monograph "provides an assessment of the effectiveness of self-regulation
as a means of protecting consumer privacy on the World Wide Web,...  based
on a comprehensive online survey of the information practices of
commercial Web sites, including sites directed to children, conducted in
March 1998;  an examination of current industry guidelines governing
information practices online; and the record developed in Commission
hearings and workshops held since 1995." In addition, the site offers tips
on how to protect personal information, transcripts of relevant
congressional testimony, useful information about protecting your privacy
while you "travel" the Net, and FTC pamphlets on consumer protection and
privacy information, among other features. [JS]
