WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives say they're pushing for an "online privacy Bill of Rights" after revelations of growing browser tracking.
U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., leader of the House Privacy Caucus, says he's assembling the provisions for legislation that would require Web site operators such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to disclose whether and how they monitor the site browsing activities of individual users and then sell that information to advertisers, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
