Comment(by phobos):

 maybe we need a blog post on why DNT is a horrible solution, regardless of
 the political statement it makes. How about "Do Not Track equals Please Do
 Not Steal" using the analogy of tattooing your national ID number (SSN in
 US) on your forehead but with a sticky note under it that says "do not
 steal". Or something along these lines. Leaving your keys in your car with
 a note on the dashboard that says 'please do not steal'. Or leaving all of
 your doors in your flat open with a note that says 'please do not steal
 anything'.

 Effectively, DNT is saying "I know I've given you all of my data by
 browsing your site, but please do not use it."
