I believe Obama’s motivation to scale back the ban on Internet cookies is with good intentions; however, I believe his aims could be reached in a method that does not raise so many questions about privacy on the Internet. The Obama administration’s aspiration to increase public involvement in politics through social websites, like Face Book, is a great idea; however, it is troubling that the government can “see” how the public is interacting with government websites. As Kerr states in his article, it is troubling that the government can quietly, and secretly regulate what people do on the Internet. By scaling back on Internet cookies, the government will have more opportunities to regulate Internet activity. Although the government claims other means of privacy protection will be put in place, it should be clarified what those policies are. A possible solution to the issue is to have YouTube sponsor a page with material the government wants the public to see. In this instance, a visitor can interact with YouTube videos that are relevant to political issues on YouTube and avoid being tracked by Google, rather than accessing these videos through the White House website and allowing Google access to the user’s involvement on the website (see U.S. Web-Tracking Plan Stirs Privacy Fears pg. 2). Rather than making social websites available through the White House page, it could beneficial and better protect personal privacy if the individual company to promote public involvement with political matters. Social websites could be given some sort of tax break for promoting usage of the government page on their site.
