Dealing with computer crimes and annoyances has become significantly more important to the Federal Trade Commission’s work over the past couple years. This past year, the Federal Trade Commission announced settlements with spammers, adware distributors and with Sony over distribution of rootkit software.
The FTC Chairman recently participated in a discussion with IDG News Service to talk about some of the work her organization has been providing to keep criminals and spammers at bay. She also discussed the Sony settlement and the role online advertisers pay in the spyware and adware plague and whether or not disclosures in licensing agreements really do count.
