RE: Identity providers as first parties

Tamir,

I disagree and PIPEDA does as well.  As long as you're clear to a user what a service provides and a user expressly consents to those practices, the discussion is over.  

Please don't try to raise CA regulatory schemes into conversations on one hand then completely reverse your stance at whim - this seriously undermines your credibility.

Shane --

The need for independent choice is critical, I think, to the out of band 
consent scheme. You shouldn't be able to force users out of their DNT 
choices as a condition of authentication.

Best,
Tamir
