Yahoo Will Ignore IE 10's "Do Not Track"

dsinc writes "And so it begins... Yahoo has made it official: it won't honor the Do Not Track request issued by Internet Explorer 10. Their justification? '[T]he DNT signal from IE10 doesn't express user intent" and "DNT can be easily abused.'" Wonder what percentage of users would rather be tracked by default.

    Apparently disagreeing with something = mod it troll. I'm guessing its the tea party racist bit - which is a very accurate reflection of the comments section on a yahoo article. Accuracy can sometimes sting just a little.
