Re: Browser Fingerprinting (Canvas)
I don't think there is any sense is getting worked up over one method of tracking or one company putting it out. Because any one of these tools could disappear tomorrow and others would just take their place. I am sure that there are dozens, or even hundreds of tracking devices being worked on right how. And more to come every day.
You can count on the fact that the companies who develop these tools, as well as the companies that use them, will be VERY QUIET about their operations. I very much doubt they will be making public announcements about them or offering any real ways to opt-out.
The only way to deal with this is to have a law enacted making it illegal to track any user for any purpose without obtaining the user's permission first. And I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Until then, all we can do is try to stay ahead and share information, like Aspkin has just done. |
