This excerpt taken from the WBMD 8-K filed Jul 2, 2009. Government
regulation of the Internet could adversely affect our
business
The Internet and its associated technologies are subject to
government regulation. However, whether and how existing laws
and regulations in various jurisdictions, including privacy and
consumer protection laws, apply to the Internet is still
uncertain. Our failure, or the failure of our business partners
or third-party service providers, to accurately anticipate the
application of these laws and regulations to our products and
services and the manner in which we deliver them, or any other
failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could create
liability for us, result in adverse publicity and negatively
affect our business. In addition, new laws and regulations, or
new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may be
adopted with respect to the Internet and online services,
including in areas such as: user privacy, confidentiality,
consumer protection, pricing, content, copyrights and patents,
and characteristics and quality of products and services. We
cannot predict how these laws or regulations will affect our
business.
Internet user privacy and the use of consumer information to
track online activities are major issues both in the United
States and abroad. For example, in February 2009, the FTC
published Self-Regulatory Principles to govern the tracking of
consumers’ activities online in order to deliver
advertising targeted to the interests of individual consumers
(sometimes referred to as behavioral advertising). These
principles serve as guidelines to industry. In addition, there
is the possibility of proposed legislation and enforcement
activities relating to behavioral advertising. We have privacy
policies posted on our Web sites that we believe comply with
applicable laws requiring notice to users about our information
collection, use and disclosure practices. We also notify users
about our information collection, use and disclosure practices
relating to data we receive
through offline means such as paper health risk assessments. We
cannot assure you that the privacy policies and other statements
we provide to users of our products and services, or our
practices will be found sufficient to protect us from liability
or adverse publicity in this area. A determination by a state or
federal agency or court that any of our practices do not meet
applicable standards, or the implementation of new standards or
requirements, could adversely affect our business.
