W3C changed the DNT Candidate Recommendation to a "Note" now, and says that the working group is closed: https://github.com/w3c/dnt/commit/5d85d6c3d116b5eb29fddc69352a77d87dfd2310 https://github.com/w3c/dnt/commit/5d85d6c3d116b5eb29fddc6935... (the page is here: https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/) If the other major browsers follow suit in considering it "expired" and remove it, I'm curious what effect this will have on the requirement in the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) for sites to state how they respond to the signal (more info: https://iapp.org/news/a/how-should-i-respond-to-californias-do-not-track-requirements/ https://iapp.org/news/a/how-should-i-respond-to-californias-...). Will sites legally need to continue explaining how they respond to a signal that effectively no longer exists? Most of them already just said "we don't do anything based on this signal", but that will be even weirder.
