Three congressmen call on FTC to investigate Google, WSJ says

FTC isn't going to do anything, they're bribed by corporations like google to illegally distribute our personal information to marketing agencies.

Why don't they call the FTC to investigate wide spread insider trading in the House and Senate

The FTC should investigate everyone in CONGRESS for inside tradeing includeing the families!!!

no one said people have to use googles software ,this soft ware was offered free of charge . Of course then we all know nothing is free always caught is cookies used to track ing for advertizing

Google, Motorola and the Justice Department approval. Now this boring diversion. And... who are the congressmen?

does Google own YAHOO? I keep getting CENSORED!

(spelling is bad deliberately) Boy, these sense-ors are real cowards. Comment deleted 3 times for saying Imazon and Ibay should be investigated too. Their monopoly on search results puts 100,000s of small business in servitude to them, bound by rules that are destructive to them, and held in check by the threat of 'excommunication'. But - lacking a representative government there is little that can't be done.

Yea, Google's run by a bunch of Democrats. What do you expect?

and insider information is obtained by invasion of privacy methods.

Just dont' do business with companies that have no respect for invasion of privacy laws etc.

invasion of privacy is under the business ethics and bad for business if customers backlash. or customer boycott. boycott google etc.

invasion of privacy is serious and can be abused which is why it is ILLEGAL!

your enemies and ex-wife or corporate espionage are the ones who is interested in your private information which is why invasion of privacy is ILLEGAL..your information that is collected can be used against you.

And the smith ing google says if you are not doing anything illegal,,your privacy doesn't matter? invasion of privacy is ILLEGAL and should be punishable by death same with hacking of personal computers shoudl be punishable by publice hanging.

the gov't can't regulate the internet from invasion of privacy concerns because the internet is not regulated

the internt is currently a 'private network' of computers and isn't really regualted by any gov't agency which is why sopa as suggested...and which is why you see so much piracy, and illegal child porn and hate websites etc...gov't agencies cannot just shut down a website

telecommuncation laws banning sharing of information and privacy on isp ip addresses is grey area and not regulated...the problem is the internet is 'unregulated' for better or worse..which is why you still see child porn etc and tonnes of illegal activities...the gov't cannot regulate it based on current laws. as the internet still new area of law

The FTC laws haven't kept with invasion of privacy in the internet because this technology or method of sharing of information between websites was n't possible 10 years ago

these websites like google who make 90% of their profit from advertising profit from selling ads and each user is worth more if it's a target market.

There is no privacy on the internet these days. I mean ISP don't even give out dynamic ip addresses anymore? Before when people were usind dial-up, ISP had different ip address everytime you logged in. Now you ip address is same for like months. or for a month same ip address. Sites like ebay,amazon or any of the ecommerce website like paypal and even your brokerage logs your ip address and even mac address. so the cookies block no longer block your privacy. Those advertiserss or websites knows who you are same as walking into store showing them your drivers license with today's software in the internet if websites are 'sharing' information about site users. This information is useful to advertisers because it's call target marketing and advertisers pay more for target market. A 12 year old surfer is worthless to a car maker etc. whereas a 30 year old is their target market so worth more in target market. etc. yes invasion of your privacy is about making money and nothing more.
