Privacy Groups Urge San Francisco to Deploy 'Privacy-Friendly' Network

Via EPIC.org.

ACLU of Northern California, EFF, and EPIC submitted comments to San Francisco TechConnect urging it to establish a privacy-friendly municipal broadband service in the city.

TechConnect is charged with researching municipal broadband issues for the city, and the body has asked potential providers to submit privacy policies for their services, but has not set minimum standards for privacy protection.

The coalition comments seek minimum standards that will allow people to use the network anonymously, limit retention of personal information when it is collected, and protect users' interests when legal demands are made for network data.
