The EFF very directly is trying to blame Do Not Track being useless on browser vendors and media companies when the reality is that it was a dumb idea whose existence likely does more harm than good (as it makes people think they can avoid tracking by using it, when they have done literally nothing to people who are tracking them by turning it on except provide one more bit of browser setting variation that can be used to differentiate--and thereby track--users). What the hell, EFF?
