Comment on What is Do Not Track (DNT)? An illustrated guide parent

Comments

From what I understand, your point is that advertisers don't respect the DNT anymore because Microsoft turned it on by default.

But would there have been any incentive for advertisers to respect the DNT even before Microsoft got involved? If the answer to that is no, then I don't think we can blame Microsoft for what would have been an inevitable outcome anyway.

Advertisers were the ones building DNT. The incentive was/is to avoid government regulation.
