"A Vision of Tomorrow: Using Technology to Empower, Not to Control"
We also endorse the use of technology to give privacy protection. For
instance, individuals can use filtering technologies that read rating
tags and block those that fail to achieve a desired level of privacy.
PICS technology is being adapted to screen out Web sites that do not
adhere to a specified level of privacy protection. Another example is
the "anonymizer," which assigns an anonymous identity to a user and
allows the user to shield personal information from Web sites that he
or she visits.
