900081 - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/dnt/ has outdated DNT information

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[Brandon Johnson [:cyborgshadow]]

Under the "Where can I learn more?" section, it links to the old Mozilla/Stanford DNT draft IEFT proposal that expired in 2011.

This should be updated to point to:
http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/
http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-dnt.html
http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-compliance.html


https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/dnt/ is a hardcoded link inside of the Firefox Browser when clicking "Learn More" under the privacy section for DNT. 

This became big news today because of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6132718

Note that because of the above link, bug 858839 has been getting lots of negative public attention.

Alex is out of the office, can I fill in?  

I like the changes.  If you're willing to let me rathole a little, could we move the IETF link to the bottom of the list?

Thanks Raymond and Sid for your help with this one.  I'm adding it to the mozilla.org Kanban to get it out today or tomorrow.

Ah, please discard the duplication. This is rather a blocker of Bug 756361.
