article published on 28 October, 2012

Microsoft decided that it would make "Do Not Track" the default setting in its Internet Explorer 10 browser (on Windows 8), which if honoured would dramatically reduce advertisers' ability to snoops on web users' habits.

DO NOT spread lies!
Please correct the article!

Actually, perhaps AD will be proactive enough to delete you out before you become a "verified user". You spewed nonsensical info.
