I much rather remember DNT as an opportunity for the industry to regulate itself before browsers vendors were forced into taking the matter into their hands.
They of course blew that opportunity and will have to pay the price. We're already seeing apple and mozilla becoming very aggressive to prevent tracking and ads.
- WeAreGoingIn 8y agoOf course, you are totally right. The future is for those companies and app vendors that respect privacy AND take good care of the personal information they have been giving, keeping them accurate and secure, not selling them around for the highest bidder.
- jlarocco 8y agoTBH I wish Mozilla were taking a more agressive stance against ads and tracking. It's nice that they've recently taken a stand, but they're still not taking it very seriously (only blocking "abusive" trackers, IIRC) and it's 5-10 years later than they should have done it. Why aren't they sponsoring uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger?

- tinus_hn 8y agoDo you mean Google, the Industry? Or Google, the Browser Vendor?
- wnevets 8y agoI mean the internet tracking/ad industry in general.
