| It's in the nature of the private sector, particularly in a time of rapid technological change like the Internet era, to come up with a wide range of solutions to new problems like on-line privacy and test them in the marketplace. Not all of these products will survive, and not all will suit the needs of all users. But it should be clear by now that we're better off trusting the market's invisible hand to look out for our interests on-line than a one-size-fits-all system of government regulation. Even if government bureaucrats could think through all the problems and come up with objective solutions, they couldn't possibly anticipate the way technology and the marketplace will change tomorrow, next week or next year. The market is, by definition, much more responsive to changes in the way we live, work and do business.
