Cecilia Kang reports:

The Commerce Department has drafted broad recommendations for Internet privacy oversight in a widely anticipated report that could set the stage for tighter regulation of Web firms.

A Commerce Department spokeswoman confirmed Monday that a draft of the report was leaked but said a final version, which will go to the White House, will be released “in the coming weeks.”
