Submission + - Do Not Track ineffective and dangerous, says researcher (nadim.cc)
In fact, Google’s search engine, as well as Microsoft’s (Bing), both ignore the Do Not Track header even though both companies helped implement this feature into their web browsers. Yahoo Search also ignored Do Not Track requests. Some websites will politely inform you, however, of the fact that your Do Not Track request has been ignored, and explain that this has been done in order to preserve their advertising revenue. But not all websites, by a long shot, do this.

Submission + - Scientist removed from EPA panel due to industry opposition (pbs.org)
