Yes, how to tell Facebook?
Someone should invent a http header that lets you signal that you don't want to be tracked. It could be named something like DNT, for do-not-track. People could then set DNT=1 and websites such as Facebook would know not to track you...
- kerng 9y agoYeah, I found it very disingenuous back then from Google to push against this. It could be a widely accepted standard by now, and it makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, as long as companies like big players as Facebook and Google ignore it, it won't succeed.
- PeterStuer 9y agoThat could work if: - it was on by default. You shouldn't have to 'opt-out' of invasive surveillance. - it was enforceable and backed by a vigilant regulator and credibly enforced legal deterrents. We're far beyond a 'pinky-promise' being enough.
- simion314 9y ago>- it was on by default. You shouldn't have to 'opt-out' of invasive surveillance. Conmppanies did not liked when IE did this but I think the solution would be simple, when you start the browser for the first time you will be asked if you want to get tracked or not, you will have 2 big buttons to chose. Then FB. Google and others should ask the users to switch this because they want to track you on a different website and explain to the users why.
