    Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler this week announced the formation of a new unit within his office focused on protecting the privacy of online users. "Internet privacy is one of the most essential consumer protection issues of the 21st century," Mr. Gansler said in a Jan. 28 statement. "I created this new unit to ensure that Marylanders who use the Internet every day have someone on their side, watching out for illicit online activities and working with key stakeholders to improve gaps in privacy policies." The new unit will "monitor companies to ensure they are in compliance with state and federal consumer protection laws," his office said. As president of the National Association of Attorneys General, Mr. Gansler also has made data security a priority for that group.
