5 Years Later, 'Do Not Track' System Ineffective
An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from ComputerWorld:
"In 2009, a few Internet privacy advocates developed an idea that was supposed to give people a way to tell websites they don't want to be monitored as they move from website to website. The mechanism, which would eventually be built into all the major browsers, was called Do Not Track. ... But today, DNT hangs by a thread, neutered by a failure among stakeholders to reach agreement. Yes, if you turn it on in your browser, it sends a signal in the form of an HTTP header to Web companies' servers. But it probably won't change what data they collect. That's because most websites either don't honor DNT — it's currently a voluntary system — or they interpret it in different ways. Another problem — perhaps the biggest — is that Web companies, ad agencies and the other stakeholders have never reached agreement on what "do not track" really means."
Cookie tracking means you're getting spammed with ads you DO want, instead of the ads you don't want.
Do-not-track only means you're going to end up with ads you hate. It's not a "do-not-advertise". It's not going to stop ads at all.
Right now, most geeks think of advertising as bad things, because they hate the ads served to them as geeks are a horrible audience demographic. They don't know, that in the real world, people actually WANT advertising. That's why people buy things like newspapers and magazines, BECAUSE of the ads.
Besides, it's the website that decides how they want to treat their audience, not the viewer. The only thing the viewer can/should do is to not visit the website in the first place if they feel their usage rights are violated, and right now, no one is going to miss losing an audience demographic of geeks.
You can't trust ad agencies even if it was spelled out in law. There are always parties who just don't care about anything but making money.
If you want to not be tracked use some anonymizing technologies.
Being "voluntary" doesn't make it work.
Which is why things that DO work (like the various ad block plugins) are frowned on...
I bought an mp3 on Amazon, went to facebook on the same tab before closing my browser, and found an ad for the same song had slipped through adblocker.
The advertising companies were never going to just sit there and let people casually tell them not to make money. The only way you'll ever have privacy is by taking it, not by trusting someone to give it to you.

I use a script blocker and am testing out EFF's Privacy Badger: https://www.eff.org/privacybad...
I feel pretty well about my privacy from private enterprises, and luckily I have nothing to hide from the NSA.

(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Another problem â" perhaps the biggest â" is that Web companies, ad agencies and the other stakeholders have never reached agreement on what "do not track" really means.
"Do not track" is dead because the meaning is so obvious that they couldn't find a way to gut its meaning while pretending to give it lip service.
Live today, because you never know what tomorrow brings
Maybe they change after a class action lawsuit with 300 million plaintiffs. What's the per-person damage of 5 years of unauthorized tracking? Times 300 million?
"Do not track"?
Everyone wants everything for free, and so there is advertising.
The entire idea of "do not track" was ludicrous.
Everyone wants their free lunches with no strings attached, but there will always be strings.

HaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA In Europe, even if there is some degree of lipservice going on, there is some real teeth in a LAW. DNT was a joke from the start with nothing to back it up.
I certainly didn't figure this to work at all. I'm actually surprised that the "Do Not Call" list works as well as it does.
As for me, ABP, NoScript, BetterPrivacy and Ghostery seem to do the job well enough
Go on, citizen, stamp the vote card. R or D, your choice.
Isn't this like that April Fools RFC?

Completely disagree, there's a huge difference in what people are willing to --tolerate-- and what people do not want. The article is about these ads collecting data on you, and because of ignorance/arrogance no ones knows the extent of what they are collecting. Your notion of advertising is delusional, when it comes to a brick and mortar stores, yes people have interest in it, but the ads don't track your every move, you read them, throw them away.
It's the types of abuse collecting data can provide, pretty much a physiological, detailed profile of a person. And that isn't from logging in, creating an account then filling out all the attributes with your real life information on social sites, websites, credit/bank cards ect.. What they are doing really is no better then the NSA. And their proving to be another corporate industry that owns politicians, this should have been dealt with by them, and yet all we hear is about the NSA, but nothing about the companies who are doing the same and not being halted/punished for it.
"Please, I am but a lamb. Don't eat me, wolves."?
In principle it's supposed to stop telemarketers from bugging you. But in reality you still get calls because companies that you are currently doing business with are allowed to solicit you. Companies lobbied Congress for a loophole and got it.
As long as Do Not Track is voluntary it will be ineffective.
Firefox, NoScript, AdBlock Plus. And cookies are totally disabled, except for those 3-4 websites I have to login to. And when I also want to hide my IP, Tor is out there. I don't even remember what an "ad" or a "pop-up" are. Advertisers cannot track anything about me, they'd better track their few neurons instead.
If all users did the same, the internet as we know it would go bankrupt. And it would get back to its free and community-driven nature that used to have until the early '90s.

Honoring a DNT would mean a high risk that sooner or later the majority of the page served would ask to not track. And that would have meant to return to the old day of "dumb" TV like advertising where they do only lknow statistically who is watching the ad, but not idnvidually. This would mean billions of $ of market evaporating.
From the get go advertised never intended to honor DNT, they simply slowed down any discussion and finally simply pulled excuse out of thin air to not honor it.
And the result is : thanks ghostery, noflash, adblock, and referer check.

Your post advocates a
(X) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante
approach to fighting tracking. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
( ) Trackers can easily use it to harvest email addresses
( ) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected
( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks
( ) It will stop trackers for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it
( ) Users of email will not put up with it
( ) Microsoft will not put up with it
( ) The police will not put up with it
(X) Requires too much cooperation from trackers
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
( ) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers
( ) Trackeres don't care about invalid addresses in their lists
( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it
(X) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email
( ) Open relays in foreign countries
( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses
(X) Asshats
( ) Jurisdictional problems
( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes
( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money
( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP
( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack
( ) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email
( ) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes
( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches
(X) Extreme profitability of tracking
( ) Joe jobs and/or identity theft
( ) Technically illiterate politicians
( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with trackers
(X) Dishonesty on the part of trackers themselves
( ) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering
( ) Outlook
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(X) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable
( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation
( ) Blacklists suck
( ) Whitelists suck
( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored
( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud
( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks
( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
( ) Sending email should be free
( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
(X) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome
( ) I don't want the government reading my email
( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(X) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your
house down!

They made it useless when they turned DNT on by default in Firefox.
It was designed as an opt-out, any respectable company would follow that selection with the expectation that FTC would enforce it.
Some paranoia evangelist working for Mozilla in the W3C workgroup sabotaged it because he feels that all tracking should be forbidden.
Now we don't have any solution anymore, even for willing companies that listen to their clients.

---
1.) Block malware/malscripted sites (not just adbanners with bad code)
2.) Block out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware (especially "fastflux" types, the predominant design that uses host-domain names vs. IP addresses (far easier to 'kill' in the latter is why)).
3.) Block Bogus DNS servers malware makers use (via fastflux + rogue DNS servers).
4.) Block Botnet C&C servers.
5.) Block known PHISHERS.
6.) Block TRACKERS.
7.) Block SPAMMERS.
8.) Get you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking adbanners + hardcoding your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution).
9.) Add reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers - since most are NOT patched vs. the Kaminsky flaw).
10.) Add "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs).
11.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
12.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD derived IP stack & hosts 99.999% of the time).
13.) Faster & MORE EFFICIENT operation vs. browser plugins https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...
14.) Custom hosts files work on ANY & ALL webbound apps (browser plugins do not).
15.) Custom hosts files offer a better, faster, more efficient way, & safer way to surf the web & are COMPLETELY controlled by the end-user of them WITHOUT having to know regexp.

I told you so 5 years ago, but of course no one listened to me.
Too bad - this is precisely this kind of situation where hostfiles can represent a good technical measure to counteract tracking behavior. It's a shame that this particular piece of software is authored by an unreliable individual. While hostfiles are a valid and effective technical countermeasure to website tracking, the author of this particular hostfile manager has often and repeatedly displayed his instability in multiple online forums. Simply google on Alexander Peter Kowalski. I believe any intelligent research will convince users that permitting software written by APK to run in kernelspace is dangerous at best. The software may or may not be just fine, but the software's author has already demonstrated that he cannot be trusted to make rational, acceptable decisions.
Fortunately, the cyberstalking behavior APK has repeatedly demonstrated is almost certainly a compulsive, involuntary behavior on his part. I have no doubt that soon he will demonstrate fully the exact instability I have pointed out here. C'mon, Allie - post a bunch of links to your past posts, or call me "bigmouth" again. I'd say pick the most bellicose and insulting of your past posts; but nearly all of your cyberstalking is consistently offensive and insulting, indicative of a juvenile intellect. Instead of contstantly reposting the same insults and invective, give us something new to gauge your mental state from.
DNT was dead the moment a vendor, and not the user, made the decision to set the flag on by default. Why should any content provider respect the wishes of a browser company, with regards to tracking?
You too, mmell ("Run, Forrest - RUN!!!") -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
* FIRST, you erroneously described my app as a DNS replacement? WRONG - It works WITH DNS, overcoming its redirect security flaws if anything!
** SECOND, you called my app a malware, & then "suddenly Satan TURNED TO CHRIST", & you recanted it (because you were butthurt & ANGRY I got the best of you, with facts, as always with ANY 'naysayer' detractor OR libeler... easily!)

(cue the ad hominem attacks by A/C a.k.a. APK)
So it's ok for Adblock, RequestPolicy, Ghostery to do so but not APK? He shot you down too http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... just like he did to AdBlock's author Wladimir Palant, with facts he can't validly disprove or overcome http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
And almost exactly as predicted.
(Sane) people do what they have incentives to do. Advertisers have a huge financial incentive to track, with no incentive to stop.
If yahoo announced today "nevermind, we are going to seriously honor the "do not track" flag and force our partners to do the same" would end-users abandon gmail and flock back to yahoo? Of course not. Such a noble effort will not be rewarded at all, and it would drive partners away from Yahoo. They really have no choice but to track.
Give them a real incentive, and they will fall in line. Until then, any expectation of politeness is pure folly.

B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,
C. ) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish & trackers), reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).
---
Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ OS, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers & in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see)
** Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE - bloating memory consumption too + hugely excessive CPU usage (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

It helped divert attention to privacy issues to a dead end for 5 years!
From what I read hosts do a lot more than Almost All Ads Blocked by far. So much for hosts being shitty. He ran from answering those questions for obvious reasons (adblock = a shitty solution vs. hosts).
It's as dumb of an idea as thinking a "do not mug me" shirt would be worthwhile in a high-crime area, and (by measure) it's probably less effective than a rock that keeps tigers away.

That line does not even make sense. How does a user set that flag "by default" ?
DNT was dead to the user when companies demanded, and got the right to ignore it.
Everything after it was just circus, beating a dead horse while telling everyone that the slapping sound was the indication many people where working hard on it.
And pardon me, but believing DNT could work would be as stupid as leaving your wallet in a public place with a note attached to it "please do not take, im retrieving it shortly" and than being surprised when, when you come back, its gone.
No, the only way to be sure that noone would take that wallet would be to make sure you are always in control of it, and not depend upon the honesty of your fellow man. And what-do-you-know, that is called "common sense".
Not so for DNT. You just send trackable data to everyone, and than trust them not to do what brings them the most profit. Does that sound like "common sense" to you ? It surely doesn't to me ...
It didin't take a brain surgeon to realize that the information would be abused. You just end up on some other lists. I didin't use it, and I recommended to everybody that they don't use or trust it either. Now we see the results.
Here is the UNIVERSAL definition for "DNT" otherwise known as DO NOT TRACK.
Don't create cookies at all, use another method for the current session to remain active, destroy when the session completes - store absolutely NOTHING with regards to the user's session.
If the user initiates a transaction with your website, for say a purchase, retain only the ip address and any information the user provides for the transaction itself.
Discard / destroy all other information, it cannot be kept for any reason other than the current transaction, and it must be marked as "non-harvestable" - ie, it cannot used for any reason other than consumer safety or court-order, all other uses current and future, known and unknown, are strictly prohibited.
Companies caught violating this will have all of their assets seized, shredded and destroyed. All executives, board members of said company or corporation will have all of their assets seized, liquidated and distributed evenly among the customers that were violated.
This will be a ZERO tolerance policy - there is NO wiggle room, there are NO loopholes, any attempts to violate the letter or spirit of this definition constitutes an aggravated and intentional violation of the policy and full penalties will apply immediately.
What are the thoughts on creating a service, like a proxy, that strips out all of the ads, beacons, cookies, and delivers the clean Internet we all pay for? I would be interested in maybe looking into this, if not just for myself, others. I already see no ads, no web beacons, no tracking based on clever little things I do to get around all that. It's a bit cumbersome, but it all works. Testing my setup reveals someone who is not what is shown, nor even on the same continent. No issues with Javscript, etc. I already pay to use the Internet, I will not pay with my privacy. My ISP doesn't even see where I go. As it should be. I think this setup offered as a service would do OK.

Ruminant self-castigation concerning my previous post.
Fingers and foghorn were clearly operating at different stages of rubbing the sand out of their eyes. Waking up is hard to do. Harrumph. Nothing burnishes one's wit like mucking up one's determiners twice in two sentences.
I blame it all on eliding the apostrophe from the all-caps. That small joke went against the soul of my being. It was like The Scream welling up inside me.
It just struck me that we should change the name of the apostrophe as used in contractions to "the zipper mark". Do up your zippers boys and girls. First lesson on the first day of middle school every year through grade seven, eight, nine, and ten.
Then this brief public service announcement concludes with the disclaimer that surfaces sometimes deceive: the zipper mark and the dangling participle have nothing in common, but if you'd like a good example of the DP to think about until we get there, consider this:
Flitting gaily from flower to flower, the football player watched the bee.
And just live with what we get or dont get it is really fine with me. I dont need anyone for anything really.

Simple textfile format of IPAddressIspace)hostname vs. regular expressions complexity, and hosts certainly do a BETTER JOB of resource usage than AdBlock https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...

Also - My program gets its hosts file data from 12 reputable & reliable sources in the security community online (e.g. -> MVPS or MalwareBytes' HpHosts for example).

http://start64.com/index.php?o...
(Details of hosts' benefits enumerated in link)
Summary:
---
A. ) Hosts do more than AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default) + Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse", or Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,
C. ) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish & trackers), reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).
---
Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ OS, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers & in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see)
** Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE - bloating memory consumption too + hugely excessive CPU usage (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)
SO - Instead, I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts (A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself)

---
1.) Block malware/malscripted sites (not just adbanners with bad code)
2.) Block out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware (especially "fastflux" types, the predominant design that uses host-domain names vs. IP addresses (far easier to 'kill' in the latter is why)).
3.) Block Bogus DNS servers malware makers use (via fastflux + rogue DNS servers).
4.) Block Botnet C&C servers.
5.) Block known PHISHERS.
6.) Block TRACKERS.
7.) Block SPAMMERS.
8.) Get you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking adbanners + hardcoding your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution).
9.) Add reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers - since most are NOT patched vs. the Kaminsky flaw).
10.) Add "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs).
11.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
12.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD derived IP stack & hosts 99.999% of the time).
13.) Faster & MORE EFFICIENT operation vs. browser plugins https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...
14.) Custom hosts files work on ANY & ALL webbound apps (browser plugins do not).
15.) Custom hosts files offer a better, faster, more efficient way, & safer way to surf the web & are COMPLETELY controlled by the end-user of them WITHOUT having to know regexp.
