Honestly I thought it would send out a no tracking flag. I wouldn't be surprised if it is or will be illegal to ignore that flag in some jurisdictions.
Do-Not-Track requests is nothing but a header on GET. at best, it's useless, with exceptions from websites that already barely track you. at worst, it's another data point for fingerprinting your browser.
Ya so a good reason to include it in the next wave of legislation, if it wasn't already in one.
So, how much to buy a couple of lobbyists to get this ball rolling?
Ehh just sit back and wait for the EU to lead in privacy once more.
yeah that's fair
