<p>A Pew <a href="http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Search-Engine-Use-2012.aspx" target="_new">study</a> found that users of search engines were pleased with the quality of search results but opposed targeted advertising and search results, and were generally anxious about the collection of personal information by search engines. Specifically, 73 percent of those surveyed were opposed to search engines tracking their searches, and 68 percent opposed behavioral advertising. 83 percent of respondents reported using Google to conduct searches. Recently, Google began <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/updating-our-privacy-policies-and-terms.html" target="_new">combining</a> user data gathered from more than sixty Google products and services—including Google search--to create a single, comprehensive profile for each user.

<h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://epic.org/2012/03/video-blog-post-raise-new-ques.html">Video, Blog Post Raise New Questions About Airport Body Scanners</a></h3>
<p>A popular video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEoc_1ZkfA" target="_new">"How To Get Anything Through TSA Nude Body Scanners"</a> show that it is easy to bypass airport body scanners by hiding materials perpendicular to the plane of the scanning devices. The video also notes that traditional metal detectors, now being removed from US airports, would routinely alert to the presence of metallic objects. Still more interesting may be the recent <a href="http://gmancasefile.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/tsa-fail.html" target="_new">blog post</a> by a 25-year FBI agent, expert in aviation security, who writes that the "TSA has never foiled a terrorist plot or stopped an attack on an airliner" and that "the entire TSA paradigm is flawed." In a federal lawsuit, EPIC challenged the TSA airport scanner program, calling it "invasive, unlawful, and ineffective."

<p>A Wisconsin state court has granted a temporary <a href="/privacy/voting/WI-Order-Granting-Injunction.pdf">order</a> blocking the state from enforcing a new voter ID requirement. Wisconsin is one of eight states that now require voters to present a government-issued photo ID. Voter ID laws typically discourage voter turnout, particularly among poor and minority communities. In NAACP v. Walker, the Wisconsin court said that the "scope of impairment has been shown to be serious, extremely broad and largely needless."

<h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://epic.org/2012/03/twitter-to-sell-two-years-wort.html">Twitter to Sell Two Years' Worth of Old Tweets</a></h3>
<p>Twitter recently announced a <a href="http://blog.datasift.com/" target="_new">deal</a> with the analytics firm Datasift that authorizes Datasift to sell the content of public tweets posted over the last two years. Companies who buy the data from Datasift will be able to market to users based on the topic or location of the tweets. DataSift will be required to regularly remove tweets that users delete. Previously, Twitter gave the Library of Congress <a href="http://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2010/04/how-tweet-it-is-library-acquires-entire-twitter-archive/" target="_new">access</a> to every public tweet since the company’s inception in 2006. In 2011, the Federal Trade Commission reached a <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2011/03/twitter.shtm" target="_new">settlement</a> with Twitter over charges that inadequate security measures allowed computer criminals to gain administrative access to the company.

<p>Earlier this week, EPIC submitted <a href="/open_gov/apa/EPIC-DHS-Menlo-Report-Comments-FINAL.pdf">comments</a> to the DHS on <a href="http://www.cyber.st.dhs.gov/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/MenloPrinciplesCORE-20110915-r560.pdf">"The Menlo Report: Ethical Principles Guiding Information and Communication Technology Research."</a> DHS sought public views on the privacy implications of ethical human subject research in information and communication technology research. EPIC said that many federal privacy laws, such as the <a href="/privacy/1974act/">Privacy Act of 1974</a>, set out legal standard for how government agencies should protect personal data. EPIC strongly urged DHS to abide by federal privacy laws rather than adopt non-binding principles, which are not enforceable and provide few rights for individuals.

<h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://epic.org/2012/03/european-justice-minister-says.html">European Justice Minister Says Google Now in Violation of EU Law</a></h3>
<p>European Justice Minister <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/reding/index_en.htm" target="_new">Vivian Reding</a> said today that Google's March 1 changes to its terms of service violate European Union law "in numerous respects." Commissioner Reding pointed to the failure of the company to obtain user consent, the lack of transparency, and the fact that most users do not read privacy policies. European privacy officials recently <a href="/privacy/intl/eu_data_protection_directive.html">concluded</a> that the changes do not comply with the <a href="/privacy/intl/eu_data_protection_directive.html">European Union Data Protection Directive</a> and asked the company to suspend its planned changes. In the US, EPIC has urged a federal court to require the Federal Trade Commission to determine whether Google's changes changes violate a <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2011/03/google.shtm" target="_new">2011 Consent Order</a>. The court denied the motion. The case is now on appeal. For more information, see <a href="/privacy/ftc/google/consent-order.html">EPIC v. FTC (Google Consent Order)</a>.</p>

<p>EPIC filed a "friend of the court" <a href="/amicus/location/earls/EPIC-Earls-Amicus-NJ-SCt.pdf">brief</a> in the New Jersey Supreme Court urging the court to uphold Fourth Amendment protections for cell phone users. In <a href="/amicus/location/earls/">State of New Jersey v. Thomas W. Earls</a>, the lower court held that an individual has no legitimate expectation of privacy in the location of their cell phone. EPIC argued that the lower court opinion should be overturned in light of the Supreme Court's recent decision in <a href="/amicus/jones/">United States v. Jones</a>. The cell phone tracking techniques in this case, EPIC argued, "is more invasive than the GPS tracking in Jones." For more information, see <a href="/amicus/location/earls/">EPIC: State v. Earls</a>, and <a href="/amicus/jones/">EPIC: US v. Jones</a>.</p>

<p>EPIC has filed a <a href="/apa/ferpa/EPIC-FERPA-Complaint.pdf">lawsuit</a> under the <a href="/open_gov/Administrative-Procedure-Act.html">Administrative Procedure Act</a> against the Department of Education. EPIC's lawsuit argues that the agency's December 2011 <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-12-02/pdf/2011-30683.pdf">regulations</a> amending the <a href="/privacy/education/ferpa.html">Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act</a> exceed the agency's statutory authority, and are contrary to law. In 2011, the Education Department <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-04-08/pdf/2011-8205.pdf">requested</a> public comments regarding the proposed changes. In response, EPIC submitted <a href="/privacy/student/EPIC_FERPA_Comments.pdf">extensive comments</a>, addressing the student privacy risks and the agency's lack of legal authority to make changes to the privacy law without explicit Congressional intent. The agency issued the revised regulations despite the fact that "numerous commenters . . . believe the Department lacks the statutory authority to promulgate the proposed regulations." EPIC is joined in the lawsuit by co-plaintiffs Grayson Barber, Pablo Molina, Peter G. Neumman, and Dr. Deborah Peel. The case is EPIC v. US Department of Education, No. 12-00327. For more information, see <a href="/privacy/student/">EPIC: Student Privacy</a>.</p>

<p>A group of U.S. senators have <a href="http://leahy.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/GAOLetter.reVoterFraud.Final.pdf">asked</a> the Government Accountability Office to study the “alarming number” of new state laws that will make it “significantly harder” for millions of eligible voters to cast ballots this November. New state identification laws, by one estimate, will have a direct impact on 21 million American citizens who do not have a government-issued photo ID. The majority of those people are young would-be voters, the elderly, African Americans, Hispanics, and those earning $35,000 per year or less. For more information, see <a href="/privacy/voting/">EPIC: Voting Privacy</a> and <a href="https://epic.org/privacy/voting/photo-identification.html">Voter Photo ID and Privacy</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://tacd.org/">Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue</a>, a coalition of leading consumer organizations in North America and Europe, today <a href="/privacy/ftc/google/TACD-Google-Letter.pdf">urged</a> Google CEO Larry Page to drop the plan to combine user data on March 1. Citing the pending changes to Google's terms of service, the groups said "It is both unfair and unwise for you to 'change the terms of the bargain' as you propose to do." TACD said "consumers have relied on your policies and your terms of service in choosing your products." Late Friday, EPIC filed an emergency appeal with the DC Circuit of Appeals in an attempt to force the Federal Trade Commission to take action prior to March 1.
