At first the latest from @themarkup looks like just another surveillance dystopia story...but check it out, Xandr is owned by Microsoft.

So (If you're in the USA) all you have to do is

(1) get a #globalPrivacyControl browser or extension

(2) use your GPC browser to log in to your #gitHub account if you have one

(3) Problem solved -- and $MSFT has already agreed to respect #CCPA/#CPRA opt outs nationwide

sitting in a cafe, now wondering if the captive portal supports #globalPrivacyControl, will probably try to figure that out some time

@glidingbird It's part of a #privacy toolset. Another part is #globalprivacycontrol #gpc to opt out if you visit a domain. An authorized agent like #PermissionSlip from #ConsumerReports can handle apps, companies you deal with offline, and data brokers you don't have a direct connection to

@downey @harsh

Auto accept is not a good idea for many reasons. For now hiding the consent dialog is workable

Two future-proof approaches

(1) finish Firefox support for #globalPrivacyControl -- right now the header is there but not the Ui. Could be: on first visit to a GPC site, prompt the user for a GPC choice, remember and apply elsewhere

(2) detect and overwrite IAB GPP with user's chosen consent (this will be more work, more info: https://iabtechlab.com/gpp/ )
