But, theoretically you (the user) didn't put that information there, a web site put that information there for it's own use to associate your web client to a specific set of data on their server. You, the user chose to accept that data into your computer when you left your browser configuration defaults and then loaded a web site in that browser. | |

Connecting to someones server to access information freely offered, seems like the user is at the mercy of their connection software, this legislation should have been enforced on the browser not the website. Terrifying to have your government dictating laws of this nature, it's censorship of useability! Kinda like being an iOS developer. :) | |
