First, the introduction is written from the industry standpoint; e.g. the rationale for DNT is “we don’t want to offend the user because this leads to lost revenue,†rather than “the user has certain privacy rights that we must respect.†Moreover, as noted above, users’ privacy interests are aligned against both commercial and government actors. Second, we are concerned about the presence of statements like “Advertising revenue is the single largest source of funding on the Web.†We do not know if this is true and we question its relevance here. The Internet includes vast non-commercial contributions of universities, government, libraries, nonprofit organizations and individual users. We expect that the W3C DNT standard will be adopted by these non-commercial entities as well.
