Moreover, I am very much in favour of silos, meaning that a 1st party should refrain from using data collected in its 1st party quality in its 3rd party quality. Or to merge them. Because to give an example, Google providing analytics data for a 1st party player should not collate that data with analytics data from another 1st party site. Without such Chinese walls (if you're still allowed to use that term), DNT becomes meaningless. And like you said yourself, it would preclude a level field in the advertisement sector.
