00001 | let's get real there's no way to stop the tracking ... go here;
»www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/
watch the episode; read the interviews; then figure out how this "do not track" is going to work.
I'd like to know.

| Re: WHOA, maybe some confusion here, said by BarneyBadAss:there's no way to stop the tracking ... go here; I'd like to know. First of all,I'am sure that the FBI, or other gov't organization is or has been tracking each of us (secretly) at one time or another,
but the difference here is like the do not call list,{/b]
solicitors may at one time have our phone number on a DO NOT call list,and thats fine,
but [b]IF you call after you have been asked not to & the # is on the DO NOT CALL LIST,your company is going to be heavily fined,for each violation
as with the Do Not track,
unless your from another country,and doing something wrong or planning something bad again OUR COUNTRY or its people what are you worried about as long as you can freely browse the internet?
AS long as your not sent unwanted spam or junk mail thats what hopefully this do not track proposal is all about.

Valencia, CA | I agree.. if someone (NSA, AT&T, ISP, etc) wanted to track your info, then they can either sell your 'point click data' or their routers traffic history.
W/o deep packet inspection, general surfing can be easily captured at the ISP or backbone.
Capturing it through cookies allows someone on the server end to track your flow, vs. ISP level.

this is one reason I've switched over to a different browser, then IE, to try to LIMIT,the # of cookies that are allowed to get onto my computer
and since switching i am surprised at being able to see how many "'cookies" jump onto a site to get into my computer. |

I agree... but tracking is tracking. As such, all we need is someone to decide to collect some information and sell it then your email will be swamped.
I've had my corporate email address sold several times now... not because I use my ID for anything outside of the work environment; but someone goes and snoops all the corporate ids puts them into a file then sells them for whatever they can; and everyone at work gets blasted with crap.
So... I suspect we COULD have the same situation here.
YECH!

I suspect we COULD have the same situation here. YECH! Barney B,a i have 2 accounts with yahoo. 1 for personal, one for other,ok, && I use to get swamped & yahoo would mark a lot as auto spam, now I may get 5, at the most in 24,hrs
How did i limit my being hit with spam. 2 ways,
1,looking at one of the spams now,
heres an example spam email
Education Degrees
from ============e@curioushigher.net
ok?
So I don't just mark this as SPAM & let yahoo delete it,
WHAT I DO, is
I don't know anyone at ""curioushigher.net"
so under email OPTIONS,I block the WHOLE IP out,SINCE many spammers sent out multiple email.
NOW then IF its from yahoo.or hotmail or an ip that i know FRIENDS are at I mark it only as SPAM.
