Creates program that aims to help safeguard P2P users against the inadvertent sharing of personal or sensitive data.
The Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA), a trade organization which includes a number of P2P and social networking software developers and distributors, ISPs, content owners, and service-and-support companies, today announced an industry-wide program to protect P2P users against the inadvertent sharing of personal or sensitive data.
The announcement of this program culminates a year of work among leading P2P companies and other technology sector participants along with US federal regulatory authorities.
"We are grateful for the participation of industry-leading companies in a collaborative process with regulatory agency representatives that has resulted in an excellent work product. While adoption is a voluntary decision to be made by each company on an individual basis, we are confident of wide acceptance, and will not only encourage, but also monitor compliance," said DCIA CEO Marty Lafferty in making the announcement.
