🇪🇺Your browser's #donottrack signal is now legally binding: As of today, enabling DNT means no more personalized political ads (and no nagging consent banners about it). Keep an eye on Meta & Co. Are they complying? Report any violations! […]

Reminder: Die Cookie-Banner sind keine Erfindung des Datenschutzes, sondern der Tracking-Industrie.

#Datenschutz bietet längst bessere Lösungen: #DoNotTrack, #PrivacyByDefault und #PrivacyByDesign.

It was "time" long ago, but no one listened.
The gravy train was more compelling.

#DoNotTrack
We've let Google defund democracy for years — it's time for democracy to hit back — and hard.

The US DoJ and states have scored two major wins, now @dacemoglumit.bsky.social says that "Europe should finish the job."

I couldn't agree more. 🧵

Carney’s plan allow parties to digitally track w/o consent sucks; consent/CASL needs to apply to all political parties. We need the right to be forgotten in #Canada, like #GDPR.

Everything I hate about #facebook is here #fuckbluesky
- anti-Palestinian
- extreme data collected
- curated feed
- must follow 10+ others
- push notifications all over
- #kws #ageverification shares with #Yoti Facebook & police
- kws has data on 30m, breaks #amazonboycott & ignores #donottrack

Firefox is dropping its DoNotTrack setting; Safari already did, while Chrome still has it.

However, Firefox supports the Global Privacy Control (GPC) setting, recognized by the CCPA to enforce users' opt-out from data selling, unlike the Do Not Track header.

Also wirklich schockierend daran finde ich, dass nur 10% DoNotTrack eingeschaltet haben. Auch wenn's kaum was bringt. Dachte, das sei inzwischen Default...

Minister Anandasangaree no backdoors, especially for the government, are acceptable.

No storage of our metadata, esp by US #TechBros, defends Canadians rights to privacy!

You should look into the huge effort by many, including us, in the W3C TPWG’s DoNotTrack project. All the angles now emerging were debated & completed in 4 years but Recommendation status denied by the big tech dominated membership in 2017 1/3

Dasselbe im Safari. Irgendwie ist das falsch. Habe auch da Cross-Site-Tracking eingeschaltet. DoNotTrack ist älter….

Hmm, habe Smartes Anti-Tracking eingeschaltet (Samsung Browser). Trotzdem zeigte es mir an, dass DoNotTrack off sei....

This would have been useful 12 years ago in the DoNotTrack debate replying to the endless AdTech cry “where’s the harms”

Die Tatsache, dass man sich fragt, wie man mit der Kombination Consent + DoNotTrack umgeht zeigt schon gut, dass DNT kein Thema war in den letzten Jahren ...

Vor allem gehören Consent Screens verboten, wenn die User*in mit dem DoNotTrack header bereits alles abgelehnt hat.
February 18, 2024 at 3:48 PM
@h0ldi das ist ne echt gute Idee 🤔 Danke für die Anregung

Ich frage mich, ob man auch dasselbe für Cookiebanner und DoNotTrack auf den Seiten öffentlicher Einrichtungen machen sollte

“LinkedIn collects the user’s Do Not Track preference, then excludes it from the fingerprint hash (line 9512, excludes: { doNotTrack: true }). They record that you asked not to be tracked. Then they track you.”
