Weaving Around Web Privacy Controls     This is SCIENCE FRIDAY.
I'm Ira Flatow. This week, the White House announced a proposed
policy for digital privacy, a way for people to tell companies
not to track your online browsing habits and setting up what the
Obama administration called a consumer privacy bill of rights.
This came just days after companies like Google were found to be
sidestepping features built into Web browsers designed to help
consumers protect their browsing habits. So just how private can
you be? Will the new government proposal change anything? Will
companies find other loopholes, ways around any kind of new
regulations? Are they going to be voluntary, mandatory?  All
kinds of stuff we're going to be talking about, privacy of your
browsing habits on the Internet. Our number, 1-800-989-8255,
1-800-989-TALK. You can also tweet us @scifri, @-S-C-I-F-R-I.
