'Do Not Track' Internet spat risks legislative crackdown

Debate hinges on do not collect versus do not target ads
* Lack of consensus could test threats of government crackdown
* Poses existential problem for Internet companies, advertisers
By Jasmin Melvin
WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - The White House wants a "Do Not Track" option put on websites to give consumers greater control of their personal information online but Internet companies and privacy groups are at odds on how tight the controls should be.
The stalemate could lead to a legislative crackdown on Internet privacy if left unresolved.
That has firms like Google Inc and Facebook Inc that rely heavily on collecting user data worried that any legislation could lead to cuts in online advertising that would eat into their profits.
The U.S. administration has looked to an Internet standards setting body, already eyeing a "Do Not Track" mechanism and with an aggressive timeline in place, to corral everyone into a room and onto teleconferences to reach a deal.

Spend millions of dollars and countless hours of time trying to create legislation that will not be enforced, OR show people how to disable cookies?
