Hey all,
Over in bug 765398 we've been discussing exposing a three-state DNT UI
to users so they have an opportunity to opt-out (as with the old UI) but
also opt-in to tracking.
Problem is that the words we use are hard to pick. What do we represent
to users?
Matej has proposed:
"Tell websites:
" * I do not want to be tracked
" * I don't care one way or the other / I don't care about tracking
" * I want to be tracked"
These correspond to DNT:1, no DNT header and DNT:0, in order.
But the problem with this that I see is that "tracking" has a bad
connotation and makes people think it's inherently bad. Who would pick
the "I want to be tracked" option?
Should we care that the connotations of tracking are bad? I don't
think we should be striving for a neutral word. It is "tracking"
we're talking about here. To pretty it up to make it something that
people won't have a visceral reaction to would be to under-inform at
best and mislead at worst.

I commented in the bug, but I guess I should have commented here first.
Just because we have three states in the code doesn't nessisarily mean
we need three states in the UI.
I think the choices to the user remain the same.
Tell websites:
" * I do not want to be tracked
" * I'm ok with advertisers tracking and retaining my web use across
many sites and providing targeted content"
Leaving those two unchecked reflects the user hasn't made a choice or
has no interest in the topic.
