New York State Attorney General's Internet Bureau

The New York State Attorney General's Internet Bureau enforces a range of laws as they apply to Internet transactions, to ensure that New York's on-line consumers, businesses, and children are adequately protected by state and federal statutes. The Bureau responds to complaints received directly from consumers and, where appropriate, initiates investigation, mediation, and litigation on behalf of the state's on-line community. As part of its mission, the Bureau also works with businesses and consumers to develop responsible "rules of the road" in cyberspace, and educates the public about their rights as Internet users.
