US regulators are squaring up to companies like Google and Facebook over online privacy. And they are warning about the dangers of downloading applications on your smartphone. Lesley Curwen talks to America's privacy cop, David Vladeck, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Federal Trade Commission.
