A leading Republican on the issue in the GOP-controlled House, Representative Mary Bono Mack, gave tepid support, saying she would work with the administration but that "any rush-to-judgment could have a chilling effect on our economy and potentially damage, if not cripple, online innovation."
The White House proposed seven basic protections that consumers should expect from companies.
Consumers should have control over the kind of data companies collect, companies must be transparent about data usage plans and respect the context in which it is provided and disclosed. Companies would have to ensure secure and responsible handling of the data and be accountable for strong privacy measures.

美国白宫本周四提出一项“隐私权议案”,增加了用户对自己网络信息的控制权,但其实施目前仍严重有赖于谷歌和Facebook等网络公司的自愿承诺。
越来越多的用户担心自已无法控制对于自己的上网活动以及真实身份等海量详细信息的收集和交易,因此白宫提出了此项提议。
公告中还提到,与谷歌、雅虎、微软等公司合作的某网络广告联盟曾表示,其成员同意在网络浏览器中使用“不要追踪信息”技术。自2010年开始,美国联邦贸易委员会就开始提倡这一技术。
