Congress Approves Internet Enforcement Bill - During its final week in Washington, the 109th Congress passed the US SAFE WEB Act, a law that will help the Federal Trade Commission be more effective in protecting consumers from spam, spyware, and Internet fraud on a global scale. The bill allows the FTC and its foreign counterparts to share confidential information and obtain investigative assistance from one another. CDT has long been supportive of this measure given the increasingly international nature of Internet crime. December 12, 2006
