require computer technology to provide consumers with clear and default opt-out settings for online advertising/adware.

Created by D.G. on July 14, 2014

Presently, online privacy and access of consumers are frequently and invasively violated by adware, malware and other behavioral advertising add-ons. These programs access computer systems of consumers and are difficult to impossible to remove. The present petition seeks to require software companies, adware and behavioral advertising companies to clearly disclose the invasive nature of the adware and provide consumers with an easy and default method to opt-out of any or all online advertising pop-ups and/or add-on features.
