Chief Privacy Officer Of The Federal Trade Commission
Posted on April 20, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law
The Federal Trade Commission is serious about the Privacy of Consumers and has enlisted the help of a young up and coming from inside their organization. All Government Agencies will need to consider promoting someone who knows the ropes of their agencies to the high position - CPO or Chief Privacy Officer.
In doing this they should scrutinize the person for this position be going through all their records and public service. They must check to see that the individual promoted has not embellished previous cases, doctored declarations or falsified government cases or reports. Indeed, we need people for these positions who do not have personal agendas and are not politically active with one political party. We do not need abuse of power to reign in any agency of our Federal Government.
We must scrutinize the former cases of Chief Privacy Officers in all government agencies, to make sure that no one filed bogus documents in secret Federal Courts, lied in cases purposefully or went on Witch Hunts. We saw what happened with Elliot Spitzer as Attorneys General of New York prior to him becoming Governor. I fear that these issues are real and that many emulate such people of power and will do whatever it takes to climb the bureaucratic ladder.
No one in any agency should hold such a position if they have violated people’s rights, privacy or abused power in any position in government. It is time we hold all agencies to the letter of their own laws. Why am I so adamant about this? Because I believe in America and Truth and Justice, even when a few abuse power from the inside because they do not. Think on it, I have information.
