Stanford, Mozilla, Opera Launch Web Privacy Initiative

Posted by samzenpus on from the going-private dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Stanford Law School has kicked off a 'Cookie Clearinghouse' web privacy initiative that brings together researchers and browsers. The project aims to provide a centralized and trusted repository for whitelist and blacklist data on web tracking, much like StopBadware does for malware. Mozilla and Opera are collaborating on the initiative, and Mozilla plans to integrate it into Firefox's new default third-party cookie blocking. The leader of an advertising trade group has, of course, denounced the participating browsers as 'oligopolies.'"

    God says...

    13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see
    Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of
    God, and you yourselves thrust out.

    13:29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from
    the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of
    God.

    13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are
    first which shall be last.

    13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto
    him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

    13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast
    out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I
    shall be perfected.
