Groups call for investigation of Microsoft ad service
,----[ Quote ]
| Two consumer advocacy groups have filed a complaint with the U.S.
| Federal Trade Commission (FTC), saying Microsoft Corp. and other
| Web-based companies are using "unfair and deceptive" business
| practices to collect data about their customers.

| But CDD and US PIRG said Microsoft's tracking of Web user habits
| goes too far. "Microsoft has embarked on a wide-ranging data
| collection and targeting scheme that is deceptive and unfair to
| millions of users," the groups said in their complaint to the FTC.

Internet Explorer 7 keeps track and records every page that you visit as
well, as means of helping Microsoft. The principal assumption is that people
