Good to see Justin Brookman & @Chronotope point out the role of W3C & stakeholder groups in standards development at #gps23. Not everything should be driven by (ad) industry...

Because it's part of their personality: even if just at face value, DNT header support is a signal that the browser cares about user privacy.
(Don't get my started on the “new” #GlobalPrivacyControl standard when it would have sufficed to update the DNT spec in relation to the new legislation.)
So while one could place reasonable confidence in @mozilla upholding past, current and future privacy-oriented standards, I don't feel the same concerning the #openWeb.

It seems there is a new standard, Global #Privacy Control (GPC), to do just this.

"Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a proposed specification designed to allow Internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether or not they want their personal information to be sold or shared. It consists of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and acts as a mechanism that websites can use to indicate they support the specification."

Global Privacy Control option in the browser is perhaps like #DoNotTrack

One difference is that #GlobalPrivacyControl might be listed in privacy laws

I’m a policymaker. How can I […] learn more about how [#GlobalPrivacyControl] could apply in my jurisdiction?

While it’s certainly more surprising for some than for other browser vendors not to act, all browsers, including but not limited to Safari, should be called out for not implementing the `Sec-GPC` (⤵️) HTTP header: https://www.wired.com/story/global-privacy-control-apple/. #GlobalPrivacyControl

#GlobalPrivacyControl to me sounds like an interesting to protect #privacy and is a necessary evolution to #DoNotTrack.
Hopefully it does what it says on the tin in practice!

#GlobalPrivacyControl hört sich nach einer interessanten Option für mir #Privatsphäreschutz und notwendigen Weiterentwicklung für #DoNotTrack an.
Hoffentlich hält es in der Praxis, was es verspricht!
