Approximately no one honours it.
I found this comment interesting:The reality behind this absurd design is more interesting: the alleged "standard" had never been anything more than a publicity stunt orchestrated by Google and their (at that time) lapdog Mozilla. The reason why they did that was to block a competing DNT mechanism, proposed by Microsoft as a W3C standard. Microsoft's design stopped your browser from connecting to a tracker site completely. It didn't rely on the tracker's good will and honesty; it was a pro-consumer, not pro-ad industry solution.

Google realized the danger, and proposed a different mechanism (the current "standard"). Via their membership in the Digital Advertising Alliance and other ad industry groups (participants in the W3C's standardization commitee), they forced it through, with great fanfare, thus blocking the consumer-friendly alternative.
The ridiculousness of the design was obvious at the time. Just a few things: it's impossible to enforce your settings against a non-cooperating site. It's impossible to even confirm whether your request is being honored. There's no mechanism for a site to notify you in advance that it won't respect the DNT header. Add the fact that it's opt-out (leaving the less-technical majority of users unprotected by default), and it's pretty clear who the "standard" was for - hint: it was not for consumers. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson That logic doesn't make any sense…it would be reasonable to assume the age of "life" and civilizations throughout the universe were spread out…some older, some the same, some younger etc.
Potential invaders could come from any of those demographics…a younger civilization might have developed much quicker for example.
Humans are only 2 million years old, the smart ones much less, like 15,000 years old.
Meanwhile earth has been unattended for at least 100 million years, but no one showed up to claim it.
Nuclear war fantasists aside it seems a reasonable bet that technological races almost never actually go extinct.
Most races we encounter are likely to be far older than us. Remember we can't even go into space without pic related happening.
We have a lot of "evolving" left. -
