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.

We could certainly un-depricate it. It's not like we need to reinvent the wheel here as a society on this.
