A comment on Firefox: Why we won’t enable Do-Not-Track by default. Parent comment
Nobody is disagreeing with either of those two statements. Like I said, DNT isn't Mozilla's final or only answer to the tracking problem.
> And so broadcasting to all parties that the user of your browser is willing to be tracked by default is precisely the wrong thing to do.
No browser does such a thing. Anybody that infers that the lack of a "DNT: 1" header implies that it is OK to track the user is using faulty logic. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance#Absence....
Back to my analogy: I never said it was OK to take a doughnut without explicit permission. I just said it was obviously bad to take one when there is an explicit message saying it is bad to take one.
