Alright, Mr/Ms/Mrs. Flamebait McTroll, I'm putting my h8r hat on.. You've
been warned.
DNT is not just a statement. It's a regulatory nightmare waiting to
happen, and what it means depends upon user behavior, website features,
and a whole lot of site-specific user consent.
For example, as a site operator, what the hell does DNT mean if a user
logs into your site? You have to track them minimally, if only to provide
functionality and security...
If we can't solve privacy preferences with technological solutions that
prevent data disclosure in the first place, we're not trying hard enough..
If you're telling me that DNT is the best privacy engineering that
$300M/yr can buy, I'm telling you you're doing it wrong. Happy to provide
details upon request.
