The Washington Post has an article about the U.S. Senate committee hearing yesterday on Internet advertising and privacy that is equal parts entertaining, hopeful and terrifying.

Terrifying because of the lack of knowledge the senators have on the issue. Entertaining because of some of the senator witness exchanges. Hopeful because they seem to realize they’re not experts and are trying to learn more. We could see progress.

The Senate hearing had been called as fears grow that the massive volume of information that Internet companies are collecting about users is violating their privacy.
