W3C currently is working on something called Platform for Privacy Preference, which will allow Netizens to dictate how much information is collected by Internet service providers about their online shopping habits, according to Berners-Lee.
The so-called Platform for Privacy Preferences protocols are under discussion by the nonprofit World Wide Web Consortium and enjoy the support of Microsoft, MCI Worldcom, AT & T, IBM, Netscape, Oracle and other companies.
