Who really does hope something from the “DnT”
While the ruling against LinkedIn is a welcome development, I’m skeptical it will truly move the needle on respecting user privacy. Do Not Track has been around for years, yet sites continue ignoring it without consequence. This case may set a precedent, but it’s one isolated judgment in Germany.
no, it encourages something called “consent”.
That could do both ways tho.
I dont consent to Facebook and LinkedIn making my profile invisible to internet users who dont have an account with them (which on those platform it is not possible to register and account anonymously)
Ok but LinkedIn and Facebook don’t have a duty to broadcast what you want all over the internet.
They don’t need consent not to share personal information, only to share it.
Yeah, I disagree with that. I think we need laws that require companies to allow anonymous users to access their content, with few exceptions.
I think that is a bit of a tall order don’t you!?
