Apr 22

Adopting the Federal Communications Commission’s set-top box plan as proposed threatens consumers’ privacy and data security, according to Digital Citizens Alliance, a leading voice for online safety.

“Consumers want more competition and innovation in cable boxes, but not if it means sacrificing their families’ privacy and security,” Tom Galvin, Executive Director of Digital Citizens Alliance said. “The FCC needs to do much more to protect consumers against hackers, malware and invasive ads than it has sketched out so far.”
