Germany Passes Sweeping Cyberspace Legislation 01/06/97 (fwd)



BONN, GERMANY, 1997 JAN 6 (NB) -- By Sylvia Dennis. The German  
government passed a major round of legislation in the runup to 
Christmas that aims at regulating the Internet and protecting user 
privacy. 

	No surprise there....

The law also prohibits the use of "cookies," software applets that
trace a user's path across the Internet and recording the data they
view.
