If websites respected Do Not Track then things would be a lot easier. I think we need a right to be listened to. Right now it's enough online to insist on only accepting information in one particular way, like having a noreply email and making people login and submit since shitty web form to respond. Putting your hands over your ears and tape over your mail slot doesn't work in real life, it shouldn't work on the web either.

I agree with you 100%, but to be ideologically consistent, we should admit that websites have as much of a right to ignore Do Not Track as we have to ignore their tracking scripts.

Not if it comes from "consumer protection", as opposed to "your computer, your rules."

Treading down the latter too far leads into weird realms like "Hacking? I didn't make your computer do X, I simply sent it messages, it's your fault for not controlling its behavior."
