Nader Proposes Net Surfers' 'Bill of Rights'

Consumer advocate Ralph Nader began a campaign of a new sort Tuesday, calling for an Internet users’ Bill of Rights to protect consumers from fraud and invasion of privacy.

Nader called for state and federal legislators to adopt the bill for the sake of consumers. “It’s like the Wild West on the Internet,” he said in a telephone interview. “The law has not caught up with Internet fraud or the huge exposure (from) invasion of privacy the consumers are vulnerable to.”
