I've read about half a dozen tech news articles about Safari planning to add Ghostery-like blocking of trackers.

All have framed it as targeting ad tech companies like Google yet NOT A SINGLE ONE mentioned how much news sites track you and would thus be impacted as well. pic.twitter.com/HxCOBSUPUp
Equating circumvention of anti-tracking with security exploitation is unprecedented. This is exactly what we need to treat privacy as first class citizen. Enough with hand-waving. It's making technology catch up with regulations (not the other way, for once!) #ePrivacy #GDPR https://t.co/G1Dx7F2MXu

We've been working to make this clear and understandable, while also being technically comprehensive.

A difficult goal.
Please followup with any questions! https://t.co/FTdVDq5RG2
This is great. The WebKit team is taking a stance that covert tracking is akin to malware. It's unclear how this will apply email tracking pixels, but it looks like changes are afoot. ? https://t.co/XckVtQRfVH pic.twitter.com/vKQxGrYxjU

This is big news & should be interesting to see which way Chrome moves -> Apple's WebKit announces strict anti-tracking policy to prevent covert tracking and all cross-site tracking https://t.co/LyznvmDhGw pic.twitter.com/VEkJ6LBQCt

Like GDPR, this is a policy that at first sounds like it'll hurt the big ad players like $GOOG and $FB but in reality blocking tracking scripts at the browser level will harm smaller ad tech players & news sites the most.

Safari/WebKit announced a new Tracking Prevention Policy. This is great news but another indication of years of impactful privacy research making it into industry use. Bypassing to be treated like bypassing security. Big deal! https://t.co/6otWZjjf83 pic.twitter.com/yXpFaqZ5AP

“WebKit will do its best to prevent all covert tracking, and all cross-site tracking (even when it’s not covert). These goals apply to all types of tracking listed above, as well as tracking techniques currently unknown to us.” (WebKit is Apple’s Safari browser engine) https://t.co/DUmhZO2W4U

Unable to join them with the failure of iAds, Apple has decided to beat them: WebKit will now treat all online tracking as essentially a security threat, putting the screws to adtech companies everywhere: https://t.co/mlpSyiDMmB

Good folks over at @webkit announced new Tracking Prevention Policy. We support their strict anti-tracking stance and hope to see more developers follow their steps in the future. https://t.co/D33EgZUmpS

DNT 도 무의미한데 웹브라우저만 믿을 수는 없을듯 uBlock 광고, 트래커 차단이 최선일듯

In the course of bringing privacy protections into web standards, WebKit was challenged to explain what exactly we’re looking to prevent. Here it is. This is the policy we will apply from now on for code contributions and proposed web standards.https://t.co/SWUwty8KiE
