Hi, I am Jung In. I think it may be better to start the page giving background information about the issue at the beginning. In addition, you can plan some divided sections regarding what you are going to address, like Background,proponets/opponents, prospective benefits/disadvantages and so on.

1. News article. Google Agrees to Allow ‘Do-Not-Track’ Button in Browser : This will help you update about the recent issue.

2. Academic article. Footprints Near the Surf: Individual Privacy Decisions in Online Contexts : This will enhance your understanding about people's choice on privacy issue as well as the nature of privacy policies. In this article, "With a largely unregulated Internet, self-determination about privacy risks must be feasible for people from all walks of life. Yet in many cases decisions are either not obvious or not accessible. As one example, privacy policies are written beyond most adults reading comprehension level, and few people read policies let alone act based on the information policies contain." This quote may help when you are addressing justification of the bill more convincingly.

3. Academic article. Personal Data Collection via the Internet: The Role of Privacy Sensitivity and Technology Trust : This shows that policy makers or organizations should be careful on the issue in terms of users' reaction.

I could find this picture for your page. FTC logo Please do not forget to get edited your work from a native speaker before finally posting it. Good luck!!! JungIn (talk)

So far it looks good. Here are some things you can explore- since this is a very debatable topic, you should expand on both advocates and opponents of this term. Advocates are advertisers and businesses like Google (as your briefly discussed in the overview). Opponents are average consumers who want to protect their personal information. You could create a section for both parties. Also, you could expand on the history of the Internet and how exactly this became an issue. 2 academic papers with descriptions- David Meinert (2006) “Privacy policy statements and consumer willingness to provide personal information.” Carlos Flavián, Miguel Guinalíu, (2006) "Consumer trust, perceived security and privacy policy: Three basic elements of loyalty to a web site" Both these articles discuss how consumers currently perceive their privacy on the Internet. They could be useful when discussing opponents of this theory. A quote from article- Interesting quote/fact about consumers from the first paper: “The results demonstrated that the willingness to provide information to Web merchants increased as the level of privacy guaranteed by the statements increased.” Picture- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Privacy_caution.svg Grammar- The first sentence could be re-worded to make more sense.

The recent news about google saying that it will let users opt out and have a "do not track" button on their web browser is something related to talk about. Here is a link that provides few details on how google and other companies are going about the do not track option. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9224583/FAQ_What_Google_s_Do_Not_Track_move_means?taxonomyId=84&pageNumber=3 . They talk about what it means and what is the future for do not track. The research article "The role of personal dispositions, context, and privacy-assurance features" http://ezproxy.msu.edu.proxy1.cl.msu.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com.proxy1.cl.msu.edu/docview/304451694?accountid=12598 talks about the privacy issues that people are concerned about when they are online. It shows the level on concerns and the context in which people are more or less concerned about privacy. "degree of concern varies across different contexts when websites require disclosure of private information" Link http://ezproxy.msu.edu.proxy1.cl.msu.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com.proxy1.cl.msu.edu/docview/622053086?accountid=12598. In another helpful published article "Guard your online piracy" "Spanbauer discusses how to guard one's online privacy. Browsing the Web, downloading files, and sending e-mail are fairly safe activities". This will helpful to understand that what precaution they can take to prevent their information on the web in a secure fashion. Umarmuha (talk) 00:55, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are already a lot of good comments posted so I won't go through everything. There was an interesting article today on Ars Technica http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/02/can-do-not-track-tame-the-webs-cookie-monsters.ars about the Do Not Track Issue. You might find it interesting. --NetworkedTogether (talk) 01:07, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I love the topic of do not track. This is a very interesting topic with a lot of headlines. One section that you may want to look at is tracking of children. There are a lot of articles available. Here are a few links: http://pediatrics.about.com/b/2012/02/12/do-not-track-kids-act-of-2011.htm I found another another article: DO NOT TRACK: An Attempt to Frame the Debate by Hannes Tschofenig, Rob van Eijk http://www.w3.org/2011/track-privacy/papers/Tschofenig.pdf Kossmatt (talk) 01:14, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to add about writing. This topic is really hot now. Not only Google, but MS and Mozilla are now supporting Do Not Track and promise to put the function to their browsers. http://gizmodo.com/5887577/internet-giants-to-adopt-a-do+not+track-button Also, the Guardian puts a very interesting article today. It explains points of the issue very well: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/feb/28/the-end-of-online-privacy?newsfeed=true --Yoshi1215 (talk) 01:21, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting Topic

Really fascinating article choice. I did some research on it, and a great approach for it would be to look at what the big companies are doing in terms of tracking. Always keep in mind looking at articles already on the web, and having different approaches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_track_header

Lastly, I noticed that all your sources are republican. Wikipedia is really strong on being unbiased. Make sure that your sources are well rounded, and even.

If you need help looking for sources, etc. Let me know. Chlopeck (talk) 19:28, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
