Yeah, just an independent review isn't sufficient because a site like CNET doesn't have the time or the technical ability, quite frankly, to understand the problem space or determine whether or not you're doing the right thing. Also, without source access, even if they had the time and the expert

At least Twitter (unlike Facebook) repects Do Not Track, making it relatively painless to opt out: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20169453 -- Greg Norcie (g...@norcie.com) GPG key: 0x1B873635 On 5/25/12 2:14 AM, Michael Rogers wrote: > On 25/05/12 08:33, The Dod wrote: > > How can we minimiz

This conversation could quickly spiral out of control, but I just want to point out that a precompiled piece of software is called a 'binary' because it is an opaque blob. I'm pretty sure that's what 'The Dod' meant. Isaac On 05/25/2012 11:37 AM, Sarah A. Downey wrote: > There's no binary in DNT

Unless I'm mistaken, your source code isn't publicly available. I don't see how binary files could be part of any privacy solution. On 05/25/2012 07:35 PM, Sarah A. Downey wrote: I'm writing to suggest a tech solution. I'm an attorney and privacy analyst at an online privacy startup in Boston c

I'm writing to suggest a tech solution. I'm an attorney and privacy analyst at an online privacy startup in Boston called Abine, and we developed a tracker-blocking browser add-on called DoNotTrackPlus(DNT+) with unique capabilities around social
