Anti-Spyware Bill Is Back

Anti-Spyware Bill Is Back 01/06/2005 02:38 PM
As was widely expected, Mary Bono has reintro duced her anti-spyware bill to Congress, where it's expected to get approval (as it did last year, before being shut down in the Senate). Clearly, some thought has gone into the bill, and it's not as bad as some previously proposed anti-spyware laws. However, you still have to wonder if it will really help. There will be provisions in the bill that are likely to have unintended consequences, causing problems for some software products. Meanwhile, the nastiest spyware products will remain controlled by criminals who don't care about the law because they don't expect to get caught. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world, but any law should have a provision to keep an eye out for negative unintended consequences and have a way to fix those quickly. There should also be a way to monitor whether or not this actually has an impact. Otherwise, it's just going to get voted into law without any balances to make sure it doesn't do any harm, because who wants to vote in favor of spyware?

Anti-Spyware Bill Gets One Step Closer 06/17/2004 07:33 PM
Despite strong lobbying efforts from a number of large tech companies, a House panel has approv ed an anti-spyware bill that would require any software to clearly tell the user that it includes traffic tracking components. It would also prohibit keystroke logging, browser/computer hijacking and ads that can't be closed. While this (of course) won't stop the worst spyware offenders who don't really care about the law, it should slow down the proliferation of annoying and sneaky adware that's almost as bad. It's still unclear which part of the law tech companies are upset with at this point. It does seem to be clearly written to only focus on "bad" spyware.

Anti-spyware legislation that prohibits companies from installing software on a computer without user consent has been approved by the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee. Dubbed the Spy Block Act, the bill now moves to the full Senate where it will likely be voted on before the end of the year. The Spy Block Act requires software to provide an uninstall option, as well as outlaws any software that transmits user information without explicit approval.

It looks like almost no one is happy with the proposed anti-spyware legislation in California. Companies aren't happy with it because they're afraid it may ban perfectly reasonable applications, while privac y groups say it's worse than no law at all since it's way too narrowly focused. Of course, it sounds like this narrow focus is making some of the companies that originally opposed the bill now view it in a more favorable light.

Declan McCullough is looking at one of the anti-spyware bills that's rocketing its way through Congress so that politicians can tell their constituents that they "banned spyware" in time for the November elections. Unfortunately, like with the CAN SPAM Act, the bill they're pushing could possibly make the problem worse, not better. Even more annoying is that it sounds as though a much better anti-spyware bill has been introduced by others -- but politicians have no time to actually look at which one is better, since they need to rush this bill through before they all run home to campaign for the election. Politics at work.
