DVD Press Release on "Black List" Start
The German Vereinigung für Datanschutz e.V (consortium for data protection), short
DVD, together with many experts from the fields of IT security and data protection
found out that users of websites often got forced to use cookies, JavaScript or ActiveX,
because there's no alternative version available.
That's why from now on the DVD publishes a
black list
as an official directory of such addresses.
"Offerors who cannot tolerate that users want to decide about their security settings
on their machines indepentently, should ask themself if they realy are set up for the Internet
future. Who thinks to have to punish users for their conscience of security by withholding
his pages from those, did not understand what e-commerce and online services actually are
about", said Karin Schuler, member of the DVD steering committee. (ps) (Translation: mj)
