Anti-Spyware Coalition
Posted by Liza under Web/Tech
I try not to blog about work much, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I spend enough time and energy there.
But I’m working on something I think is cool, and I hope those of you who are technological will participate.
The Anti-Spyware Coalition is a group of big Internet and anti-spyware software companies, and consumer and public interest organizations, that are trying to come up with a common framework for talking about spyware, helping consumers protect themselves from it, and dealing consistently with spyware and adware companies.
We created some draft documents (PDF file) towards that effort, and between now and August 12, we’re seeking public comment. What did we get right? Wrong? Forget? Misunderstand? Fail to address?
There are also 80+ articles online about the Coalition, although almost all of them are edited versions of the same two. But if you want to know more, from a neutral third party, go for it.
