Testimony of

Wayne Crews
Vice President for Policy/Director of Technology Studies
Competitive Enterprise Institute

Before the Committee on Commerce, United States Senate
Privacy Implications of Online Advertising

Russell Senate Office Building 253

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) is a non-profit public policy research foundation dedicated to individual liberty, limited government, and markets. We appreciate the opportunity to discuss policy issues surrounding online advertising.

Privacy dilemmas are inevitable on the frontiers of an evolving information era, but CEI maintains that competitive approaches to online privacy and security will be more nimble and effective than rigid political mandates at safeguarding and enhancing consumer well-being, facilitating commerce and wealth creation, and even contributing to the rise of the anonymous approaches to commerce we’d like to see.
