High-Profile Companies Announce Support for Privacy Law - A group of high-profile companies today announced that they would support in principle the creation of a national consumer privacy law that governs how companies treat the information they collect from consumers. Eastman Kodak, eBay, Eli Lilly, Google, Hewlitt and Associates, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Procter & Gamble, Sun Microsystems and Symantec all signed onto a statement that calls for a process intended to lead to the enactment of a robust but flexible legal framework that protects consumers while allowing for the appropriate use of information. CDT has long fought for the passage of consumer privacy legislation and applauds the companies behind this statement for taking a bold and important step toward protecting the personal information of millions of Americans.
