Glad to see Net Action is pointing out potential privacy violations or potential for spam (though there seems to be no evidence saying Microsoft in fact has sent such spam).

But what I find interesting is that NetAction is using the Net, the press, the media to broadcast Microsoft's bad privacy policies. Then people can choose to visit or not, or to read the notice more carefully.

Thus I see no need for FTC rulemaking. I hope that is what NetAction will be saying to the FTC. Etrust is another solution NetAction should support.
