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.

I hope someday DNT would not be an additional part of your digital fingerprint nailing you down as a part of a minority who turn this shit on.
