Excerpt from "Sen. Rockefeller Targets Online Tracking for Hearing"

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V.) recently announced that he plans to hold a hearing and invite Facebook and other technology companies to testify about their use of consumers’ “personal information.”

Sen. Rockefeller’s interest was piqued by a USA Today article that reiterated concerns about Facebook’s ability to track users even after they log out of the social network, or when they visit other sites using the “like” button or other plug-ins.
