   Top senators and members of the Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday criticized the current state of Internet privacy regulations and pushed for legislation that would give consumers more control over their personal information online. "We can't let the status quo stand," said Commerce Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.), who plans to introduce a privacy bill of his own. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, noted in a statement that self-regulation by the private sector has been a "failed experiment," allowing users to become increasingly exposed as new, more advanced tools collect ever-more-personal details over the web.
