Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) on Thursday reintroduced an online privacy bill that would require Web companies to obtain users' permission before sharing their personal information with third parties. The
measure calls for ad networks and others to obtain explicit consent unless they participate in an opt-out program operated by self-regulatory groups and overseen by the Federal Trade Commission.
Rep. Jackie Speiers (D-Calif.) will introduce a do-not-track bill on Friday.
