Expecting another smash success like the Do Not Track header.
- atoav 5y agoIf you could sue people for real money when they violate said header it might be taken more seriously pretty quickly.
- Hamuko 5y agoI don't believe that you can sue under the GDPR. I've always understood it to be something that you can lodge a complaint against someone with your local authorities. No idea about the CCPA but I wouldn't be surprised if you could considering how lawsuit-happy Americans are.
- atoav 5y ago> I don't believe that you can sue under the GDPR. I don't believe that either, I just think that flags like these can only be taken seriously if all actors have maximum incentive to take these seriously.
- cm2187 5y agoDo not track is a gentleman's agreement in a world of thugs. But you could block cookies at the browser level if the user clicks No.
- paxys 5y agoDo Not Track didn't work because (1) it was not enforced at the browser level, (2) it had no legal backing and (3) it was not granular enough to be useful. With GDPR, CCPA etc. in place the online privacy landscape is very different, and a new standard is very much possible today. Why did every site in the world implement all the consent popups in the first place when they could have continued to do nothing?
