Re: Issue-17, Issue-51 First party obligations

I agree that absent an exception, prior collected data should not be 
used. I think the case that was raised was whether a 1st party should be 
required to reject data from a 3rd party if DNT is on. What I was 
getting at is that the first party will have no way of knowing if the 
3rd party has an exception to DNT that would allow the data to be 
shared. So either there has to be a mechanism to inform the 1st party, 
or it has to be left to the 3rd party to decide whether or not it can 
share the data. Unless there's something built into the client, either 
way the 1st party is trusting the 3rd party to make the right decision.
