There should be some separate law that would oblige companies to accept "do-not-track" HTTP header. Then we could just set it in our browser settings.

- mindslight 5y agoDo we even need a law, or would another case by Max Schrems suffice? The intent of Do Not Track is quite clear.
- denton-scratch 5y agoDNT compliance is voluntary. I don't think Schrems would have a legal leg to stand on.
- mindslight 5y agoDNT compliance is only voluntary in that it can be ignored when there is no law requiring consent to track. If someone says "Do not track me", it's a bit disingenuous to interrupt them with a dialog asking them all the ways they might want to be tracked. It's either an attempt at coercion (we'll keep wasting your time until you give in) or an attempt to gain fraudulent consent through trickery/mistakes.
