Who really does hope something from the “DnT”
While the ruling against LinkedIn is a welcome development, I’m skeptical it will truly move the needle on respecting user privacy. Do Not Track has been around for years, yet sites continue ignoring it without consequence. This case may set a precedent, but it’s one isolated judgment in Germany.

Ironically this site serves koko analytics, which now ignores the Do Not Track header (as per Mozilla’s recommendation, mind you). See commit 6890f3c.
Thankfully uBlock Origin blocks loading the scripts.

Honestly, DNT as it’s implemented in browsers today is not a sufficient solution
I’ve come to the same conclusion (blogged about it here https://www.srcbeat.com/2023/11/linkedin-do-not-track/) after updating myself on where it’s all at.
I also think about pop-ups back in the 90s/00s. Imagine if browsers sent a “No-Popups” header (or something) back then. I doubt we would have seen any change in company behaviour. Instead, it took something like Firefox to implement pop-up blocking by default (https://lwn.net/Articles/130792/).
Lmao, thanks for the share XD
We could certainly un-depricate it. It’s not like we need to reinvent the wheel here as a society on this.

Btw, most of the tracking scripts use dnt as additional data point, since it’s opt-in and most don’t have that set.
I hope someday DNT would not be an additional part of your digital fingerprint nailing you down as a part of a minority who turn this shit on.

thats clearly an risk, they can use this to determine what they want to see.
It’s a step. I’ll take the win. Hopefully other countries follow.
Crazy DNT is a thing?
