section 5 of the ftc grant -- the ftc act grants the commission broad authority to investigate unfair or deceptive acts or practice, and the commission has brought enforcement actions using this authority. in fact, the commission highlights a number of these enforcement actions in the beginning of its recently released report. when the commission sees what it believes to be unfair or deceptive practices, it has acted. just yesterday, it was reported that the ftc and myspace reached a privacy settlement that will subject the company to biannual privacy assessments for the next 20 years. in addition, google and facebook recently entered into consent decrees that subject the companies to outside audits for two decades. i have not heard a persuasive argument why the ftc needs greater authority. lastly, i find it interesting the commission seems concerned about consumer frustration in the private sector. consumer trust is very, very important. but there's no one for whom it's more important than the company that's hoping to attract and maintain customers. so i think trust in the marketplac

the ftc should be sensitive to these concerns as well. clearly, the technology sector is developing at lightning speed, and we now face issues unheard of even a few years ago. i wish to proceed cautiously in exploring the need for any additional legislation, however, i have concerns about the ability of legislative or regulatory efforts to keep up with the advances of the internet without also imposing unintended chilling effects on many of the enormous benefits consumers have gained from these advances without curtailing the development and success of the internet economy. thank you for allowing me to participate in today's hearing. we have shown strong leadership in the area of consumer privacy. thank you. >> thank you very much, commissioner. i'll start with the questioning. i'll make this one to chairman lebowitz. with digital advertising alliance has spent a lot of time developing its own consumer guidelines. and they have pledged to follow these guidelines and honor their customers' privacy concerns, and that's a good thing. but we

things i want to examine, as i get more settled in as a commissioner is, if there are things that the ftc's current authority can't reach. initially i would say, a deceptive statement in a privacy policy that is a straightforward case for the ftc and successfully brought very many of them. >> that was my question. >> okay. >> so with respect to the violation of the stated pole, nobody feels as though there's any am ba gubiguity or insuffic authority? >> correct. >> no. >> i think everybody here acknowledges, but just to be clear, do you all agree there are many companies operating on the internet that activity compete on the basis of the privacy policies that they offer, that that is one of the features that they -- that they bring attention to? >> i think that's a good point and i think we have started to see that. of course, one side of our agency is consumer protection. the other side is competition. so we like to see that. when -- i believe when google changed its privacy policy ab t about, i think effective the beginning of march, microsoft had full-page ads in the "new york times" say

chairman liebowitz, the ftc's recently settled privacy cases with well-known online companies used by millions of americans. could you explain how these settlements will benefit consumer online privacy and how have these secretary of statements encouraged other companies to change or improve their privacy policies? >> well, we have -- if you're talking about our settlements with, say, google, for google buzz and facebook, we -- we found what we believed were violations of the law essentially those companies made commitments about keeping information private that we believe they did not keep. they did not honor their commitments so we brought cases against them and had settlements. in the settlements, they're required to be monitored. they have to engage in privacy by design. they -- and most importantly, in the -- if you combine the facebook and the google matters, they protect more than 1 billion consumers worldwide. and if those companies want to change their privacy settings, they had to give consumers an option going forward to do that and then, of course, when you're under order,

, there is a similar scarcity of challenges to ftc rule making. i think it is effective judicial review is an important piece of this regulatory stage when we think about technology. finally, just throw out and i won't address it, international harmonization, we operate essentially in every country except dictator ships where we would love to operate there but we're blocked by the countries in question. so we're forced to deal in the legal department as a company with a myriad of rules, absolute patchwork of hundreds of country's rules addressing the same general area and that's a challenge and hinders innovation. that's a major check on innovation, i think, peter, and those are practical observations. >> thank you. >> richard may have a question. >> the next stage here, i have a million questions which i will happily ask if you guys don't, but let's let the panelists talk to each other more the moment. >> microphones over there. >> i want to make one comment particularly to what mark said. i think the battle over the internet stuff is in the shor
