Microsoft admits it's behind anti-Google legislation in Mass.,
troubling children's privacy advocates

http://j.mp/XUdWv9  (WSJ)

    Microsoft's efforts came as a surprise to children's privacy
    advocates, who had been perplexed over the origins of the legislation.
    "We'll still look at the legislation on its merits, but the origins of
    the bill are troubling," said Josh Golin, associate director of the
    Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, after he was informed of
    Microsoft's involvement.
