He adds: “We see these new communication tools as low-cost high-impact ways of reaching distributors, clients and the broader public, specifically for product development and distribution.”  Managers in the US and Europe are prohibited from posting material that could be deemed as giving financial advice. This, in turn, has an effect on what messages can be relayed via social networking sites.  European managers using social networks could soon face added regulatory pressure.  An independent advisory group to the European Commission, known as the Article 29 Working Group, is calling for more stringent regulation of social networks in order to protect users’ data.\u0026quot; - \u003ca href=\u0022http://friendfeed.com/mediaeater\u0022 uid=\u0022f3d79ea4cd674db291322ccb12019a92\u0022 class=\u0022l_person\u0022\u003emediaeater\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022entry\u0022\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022icon\u0022\u003e\n\u003ca href=\u0022http://friendfeed.com/mediaeater?service=delicious\u0022\u003e\u003cimg src=\u0022http://friendfeed.com/static/images/icons/delicious.png?v=508c8593b0466b5ed38cce51e4d606de\u0022 alt=\u0022delicious\u0022 class=\u0022icon\u0022/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022body\u0022\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022summary\u0022\u003e\u003ca rel=\u0022nofollow\u0022 href=\u0022http://delicious.com/mediaeater\u0022\u003edelicious\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022link\u0022\u003e\u003ca rel=\u0022nofollow\u0022 href=\u0022http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/26/AR2009042602711.html\u0022 class=\u0022main\u0022\u003eDavid Kessler: Fat, Salt and Sugar Alter Brain Chemistry, Make Us Eat Junk Food - washingtonpost.com\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022info\u0022\u003e6 hours ago\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022comments\u0022\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022comment\u0022\u003eInstead of satisfying hunger, the salt-fat-sugar combination will stimulate that diner\u0027s brain to crave more, Kessler said.

Now an associate lecturer in history and media studies at the University of Winchester, Lewis wrote her Ph.D. thesis on British propaganda posters devised for the home front during World War II. The “Keep Calm” poster, meant to be distributed in the event of a German invasion, was extremely obscure for many decades. So she was interested, she recalls, to see it turning into “sort of a consumer item.”  That process began with a fluke: in 2000, Stuart and Mary Manley, owners of a shop called Barter Books in north England, found one of the original posters folded up in the bottom of a box of old books and framed it. Customers liked it, and eventually the Manleys decided to sell reproductions. “Part of it is that it does have this sort of intrinsic British feel about it,” Mary Manley says, adding that the poster evokes a “nostalgia for a certain British character, an outlook.”\u0026quot; - \u003ca href=\u0022http://friendfeed.com/mediaeater\u0022 uid=\u0022f3d79ea4cd674db291322ccb12019a92\u0022 class=\u0022l_person\u0022\u003emediaeater\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022entry\u0022\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022icon\u0022\u003e\n\u003ca href=\u0022http://friendfeed.com/mediaeater?service=delicious\u0022\u003e\u003cimg src=\u0022http://friendfeed.com/static/images/icons/delicious.png?v=508c8593b0466b5ed38cce51e4d606de\u0022 alt=\u0022delicious\u0022 class=\u0022icon\u0022/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022body\u0022\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022summary\u0022\u003e\u003ca rel=\u0022nofollow\u0022 href=\u0022http://delicious.com/mediaeater\u0022\u003edelicious\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022link\u0022\u003e\u003ca rel=\u0022nofollow\u0022 href=\u0022http://www.democraticmedia.org/jcblog/?p=833\u0022 class=\u0022main\u0022\u003eOnline Consumers Require Real Privacy Safeguards, Not the Digital Fox [AAAA, ANA, BBB, DMA \u0026amp; IAB] in Charge of the Data Hen House\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022info\u0022\u003e7 hours ago\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022comments\u0022\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022comment\u0022\u003eThe industry appears to have embraced a definition of behavioral targeting and profiling that is at odds with how the practice actually works.

The new principles, moreover, fail to protect the privacy of teenagers; nor do they seriously address children’s privacy. (I was one of the two people that led the campaign to enact the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).  The failure to develop adequate safeguards for sensitive consumer information illustrates, I believe, the inability of the ad marketing groups to seriously address online privacy. The so-called “notice and choice” approach embraced by the industry has failed. More links to better-written privacy statements don’t address the central problem: the collection of more and more user data for profiling and targeting purposes. There needs to be quick Congressional action placing limits on the collection, use and retention of consumer data; opt-in control over profile information; and the creation of a meaningful sensitive data category. Consumer and privacy groups intend to work with Congress to ensure that individuals don’t face additional losses due to unfair online marketing practices.
