Privacy Bill Would Put New Limits of Tracking Children

A draft House bill with bipartisan support would prohibit companies from tracking children on the Internet without parental consent, restrict online marketing to minors and require an "Eraser Button" that would allow parents to eliminate kids' personal information already online. The draft of the "Do Not Track Kids Act of 2011" -- released by Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, and Rep. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican -- would go well beyond existing federal law.
