Twitter implementing Mozilla’s Do Not Track feature

Twitter will be implementing the Do Not Track feature in the Mozilla Firefox browser, as announced Thursday by Ed Felten, chief technology officer for the Federal Trade Commission at a New York Internet Week privacy panel. Twitter confirmed the FTC’s announcement, appropriately enough, in a tweet.

Carolyn Penner, a spokeswoman for Twitter, said, “We applaud the FTC’s leadership on Do Not Track, and are excited to provide the benefits of Do Not Track.”
