Calif. Initiative To Regulate Search Engines?
Lauren Weinstein writes to tell us about CIFIP, the California Initiative For Internet Privacy — his attempt to get search engines off the dime on questions such as how long they retain search data. The initiative aims to explore "cooperative and/or legislative approaches to dealing with search engine and other Internet privacy issues, including a possible California initiative for the 2008 ballot."

2. Can we have whoever is tagging the stories stop tagging things fud or notfud, or yes or no. It is annoying and serves no purpose for searching via tags. If a story is tagged fud or notfud then what is the point? I don't think anyone is going to be searching the tag cloud for the word "yes" or "duh".
