Don't care what anyone says - I think Microsoft is to be applauded for their stance on this issue. I support anything that will keep scurvy advertisers at bay and protect (even if by a little bit) my privacy.

I don't think Brad is championing privacy, read again. I think Brad is limiting the scope to solutions that protect the status quo and I don't think these will deliver any meaningful privacy for users. See his concluding comment 'the economic model that supports the free Web' which sets his direction and limits the scope of solutions he is prepared to accept. Sorry Brad, but I refuse to accept your narrowing of the scope. The W3C Private User Agent Community Group (PUA CG) is working to secure the web browser from covert monitoring and also expects to deliver a platform that supports advertising supported content - all by just giving users choice and security. Dream free 2013.

Microsoft should be applauded for its stand on Do Not Track. Many companies talk about "empowering" consumers to control their personal information, but what does that really mean? True empowerment starts with companies recognizing that consumers have the right to browse the Internet free of surveillance and that they should be asked before information about their online activities is collected. Microsoft gets that, and is trying to provide consumers with an easy way to exert real control. Other companies that say they want to give consumers meaningful choice should honor the expression of their choice that their browsers signal.

As a consumer, I appreciate Microsoft's stance on do-not-track to give users some control over their personal data. Technology and data collection are numerous steps ahead of ordinary individuals. Consumers need this and other safeguards from abuses. Microsoft knows that it can innovate and make a profit while limiting intrusion in people's lives. DNT is a good first step.

We support DNT and the importance of the industry adopting meaningful self regulatory efforts. Collectively we need to look at the long-term impact to data collection and consumer choice and control. DNT and other privacy enhancing measures will have positive long-term impact to business and innovation. Thank you for your continued support.

Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for taking its stance on DNT and for sticking to it. Companies all over the Internet use default settings in ways that promote their own interests and that ignore or harm consumer interests. However, when Microsoft said that it would use a default to help consumers and give them what they want, many of the same companies screamed foul. Too many Internet companies are only interested in promoting unfair one-sided privacy policies and meaningless privacy self-regulation. I hope that other companies will step forward and support the Microsoft DNT decision.

Isn't a "Permissions API" essentially P3P?

Bravo. Thank you for recognizing that users' privacy is more important than the ability for advertisers to buy and sell users' information in secret.
