Privacy is right on the tip of everyone's tongue again this week. Delaware proposed its own Facebook privacy law for employers and employees that goes even further than Maryland's recent legislation and the law currently before Congress. The FCC released its full report on concerns with Google's gathering of data for their Street View feature on Google maps. A court in the Eastern District of Virginia ruled that a Facebook "like" is not protected under the First Amendment. Finally, the New York Times described how users can cover up their searching habits on the web.
