It should also be my responsibility to add an option to break DNT upon user's desire (for example, click-to-enable YouTube embed and click-to-enable sharing buttons), and, if we take things to extreme, I should even be able to have a small icon next to every single link that will tell the users if the website I linked to respects DNT or not.
The DNT thing is broken completely for the end users, there's no point in arguing about that. But, if I, as the website owner, want to respect it for my viewers, I need some strategy on how to do so, which is exactly what this question is about.
I firmly believe that:
1. Enabling DNT by default is a bad idea, but the option should be there.
2. If my visitor enables DNT on his own browser, and that decision was solely made by the visitor (as in, not enabled by default which IE tried to do some time ago), I should at least try respecting it as much as possible.
This Ask HN is specifically posted to see how can I accomplish #2.
