in 1945–46 london hosted the first meeting of the general assembly in methodist central hall, and the security council in church house. the third and sixth general assembly sessions, in 1948 and 1951, met in the palais de chaillot in paris. prior to the construction of the current complex, the un was headquartered at a temporary location at the sperry corporation's offices in lake success, new york, an eastern suburb of the city in nassau county on long island, from 1946 to 1952. the security council also held sessions on what was then the bronx campus of hunter college (now the site of lehman college) from march to august 1946. the un also met at what is now the queens museum, built as the new york city pavilion for the 1939 new york world's fair in flushing meadows-corona park. the general assembly met at what had previously been the ice skating rink, and the long island rail road reopened the former world's fair station as united nations station. after the un moved to its new manhattan headquarters, the building was remodeled and briefly used as a pavilion for the 1964 new york world's fair, after which it reverted to use as a skating rink until 2008, when the entire building began a long-term renovation to create expanded museum facilities.

among the major internet browsers and search engines, the do not track policy has been quite controversial. for instance, google’s contentious privacy settings, effective earlier this year, raised questions of how companies would interpret and implement the do not track policy. microsoft has recently implemented a do not track option into its internet explorer 10 browser as its default setting, which has instigated a number of public comments and critique from major companies. sarah downey, from abine, commented on fox business network that even if you opt-in on the do not track option, advertisers can still collect your data and track your behavior. abine created a do not track plus add-on that claims to completely block tracking. downey continues to state that the in-browser do not track option is a more of a "voluntary message" or a "request, not an obligation" to the advertisers not to track you.
