Interesting results. It had to be tested and now we know…At least we are putting control in the users hands, which is what they wanted. At the end of the day, we need to make sure to do all we can to make users happy and have great online experiences.

I’m one who is not bothered by targeted ads, compared to untargeted ads. In fact, I see them as a benefit of a sort. If I have to see an ad, it might as well be something that I am more likely to have an interest in than not. What am I missing in this debate?

Up until now there wasn’t a way to enforce the “Do-not-track” on advertisers and trackers.
There is no reason for them to give up the billions they make from gathering and trading our personal information.
Breadcrumbs privacy software lets you alert trackers that you do not want to be tracked and that they will
be fooled by Breadcrumbs Bogus Identity in case they will decide to track you anyway. It will make online tracking economical inefficient,
So they won’t bother?

I agree with the post, that its kind of pointless. I said this sounds good in theory, but is unenforceable, the first time I heard about it. It will only be law in the US anyway.
