the conversation / system is rigged. how it should have been done in a fair way:
1. assume the user by default does not want to be tracked and make do-not-track opt-out.
2. have it running for a few years and gradually increase the heat on the discussion that nobody respects it.
If it would've been done this way it would've been newsworthy and maybe would've been considered as something to enforce via regulation (at least in EU).
But as it stands do-not-track never had a chance to succeed - I believe that was by intention.
- orf 2y agoOh no, gradually increasing heat in online privacy-focused tech discussions! An adtech companies worst nightmare! How will they survive :(

- 1oooqooq 2y agoyou joke, but firefox features did work. proof is that musk first and only feature added to shitter post purchase fiasco was to detect firefox anti tracking feature and block the user! the fact the most shrewd person in the world acted on it is perfect proof it worked againt his goals (which now we know was to influence elections)

- Dylan16807 2y agoI have no idea how you expect to make 2 happen. Your plan doesn't sound like it would work either. I would say this needs to start with a law, more or less.
- int_19h 2y agoThat's the biggest reason to keep it - the more user agents support this standard, the easier it would be to write and push legislation backing it.
