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.
How much are they being fined for this violation?
Crazy DNT is a thing?
Users must expressly agree before their profiles can be visible to non-members.
Wait the law encourages authwalls? Isn't that worse?
no, it encourages something called "consent".
That could do both ways tho.
I dont consent to Facebook and LinkedIn making my profile invisible to internet users who dont have an account with them (which on those platform it is not possible to register and account anonymously)
Ok but LinkedIn and Facebook don't have a duty to broadcast what you want all over the internet.
They don't need consent not to share personal information, only to share it.
Yeah, I disagree with that. I think we need laws that require companies to allow anonymous users to access their content, with few exceptions.
I think that is a bit of a tall order don't you!?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
