AOL has appointed a Chief Privacy Officer and created a consumer advocacy and privacy team charged with ensuring best practices for protecting consumer privacy. In February 2008, AOL announced its participation (alongside Google, Microsoft, Yahoo! and others) in the Internet Safety Technical Task Force.
