Nice. But what we really need is a superweapon that blocks tracking.

We’re working on one at Customer Commons, with help from the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard and working groups at Kantara. The weapon is terms we can assert as first parties that sites and services can agree to as second parties. Those terms can, and will, involve requirements restricting or preventing tracking.

Motivation on the corporate side for agreeing with these terms is compliance with the GDPR.

The latter was the subject of an earlier thread here, and both topics will be up front at VRM Day and IIW. Register here:


To be clear, blocking tracking directly will also be on the table. Hope developers of those will be there as well. (We had Privacy Badger folks last time.)

Most of the ads can stay as far as I'm concerned. I just ignore them.
