Regulating Privacy

Line: 25 to 25
 But, the online companies that present the biggest privacy concerns, again the ones her framework is most likely to overlook, are more likely to resist regulation or changes to the data collection practices.

<		Any sort of industry self-regulation is only going to co-opt a real regulatory overhaul. What consumers needs is for the government to set a basic floor for privacy protection (a floor much higher than exists today) that companies are free to build upon as they see fit. While not perfect, this approach is a step in the right direction, and better than the wild-west system we live in today that is a result of the laissez-faire approach taken thus far.
