Support grows for Pentium III protest

The CDT will file a brief alleging that Intel's chip, which contains a serial number that can be used to identify individual computer users, could be misused by online stalkers and other criminals, according to CDT officials.
The CDT will be joined in the action by Consumer Action and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
The brief will also argue that the chip's ID number could stifle online discussions of sensitive health issues such as AIDS, CDT officials said.
In February, other privacy advocates, including the Electronic Privacy Information Centre and Junkbusters, filed an initial complaint about the chip with the FTC.
