How are ad networks not in violation of the CFAA (computer fraud and abuse act) by not honoring DNT? Surely if I can get in trouble for abusing what a server allows but does not intend then the same should hold true for interactions with a client web browser.
- javagram 7y agoDNT arguably ceased to be a reliable symbol of user intention the moment Microsoft turned it on by default. I doubt Microsoft didn’t realize what they were doing would kill DNT acceptance, but they did it anyway to add a bullet point to their feature list.

- javagram 7y agoMalware protection isn’t a signal though, it’s an active process of deleting and blocking. No need or even possibility to interpret it. The analogy in the tracking space would be something like Safari ITP, not DNT.
