Advertising companies can be shameless. What makes you think they ever would have respected DNT even if was opt-out?

They support the NAI which enables you to turn off various tracking bits. Let's not go around shitting on a whole type of business wholesale because of a few bad actors, hm?

You say "they" like all advertisers support this initiative. They don't. I was careful not to include all.

I can assure you that not everyone will follow it. Google is a part of NAI and they were found guilty by the FTC to be circumventing Safari preferences.

And you say "they" like all advertisers are skeevy and wouldn't honor the DNT flag.
