Question

Do Not Track (DNT)
The crackdown on Web browsing privacy is resulting in a tense situation between advertisers and the public. In addition to restricting third-party cookies, several Web browsers now provide functionality to limit tracking by online advertisers. The U.S. government has even suggested that a Do Not Track (DNT) list be created that would prohibit Web sites and advertising networks from monitoring a Web surfer's actions. Similar to the Do Not Call list, DNT would allow users to sign-up for this protection.

However, online advertisers have responded by saying that to restrict tracking would be like requiring television programs to eliminate commercials or magazines to stop accepting print advertisements. As a result of DNT, users who accept tracking would see all of the Web site's material, while those who opt out would only see more generalized content. Some web sites may begin to charge customers a monthly fee to read their full content.

Should tracking be restricted? Would you sacrifice viewing your favorite Web sites in return for no tracking? Should Web sites be able to restrict the content that you view based on your choices regarding tracking? If this is not the solution, what would you propose?

Explanation / Answer

I think they we should ban DNT beacause there are no uses of using DNT beacuse

DNT is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user

1)IT will destroy the web as so much of the content in the web is free and funded by online advertisers so if DNT occurs then the user shouls pay for the website which is very bad.

2)It represents customer choice only so the ads we see in the web are the ads we are interested in so theres no problem in that.

whenever there is a connection the informaion becomes into pieces called as headers which has information of what sites you are visiting so the company has the idea of ads to show to you

So turning on the feature could be like signing a petition. If enough people do it, the thinking goes, it will give lawmakers and privacy advocates more ammunition to push for change. That’s just what some groups fear.

“Something has to fund all that great free online content and all those amazing digital services,”

So I think DNT should be banned if you really ant privacy you can switch i on.

Hope this helps you:)
