FTC Wants Greater Spyware Crackdowns
If we are to make a dent in criminal activity like spyware, providing the FTC with legislation that would let them seek civil penalty actions, including jail time, will help. During the FTC’s appearance before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Commission called for broader abilities to aid their anti-fraud activities. Technology fraud ranked among the issues the FTC presented to the Senate during their budget request testimony for fiscal 2008. Spyware that misleads consumers and burdens computer systems with unremovable and unwanted software received repeated mentions in that testimony.
