Professional account, personal account, cooking-club account, etc. > Many web-services struggle against users' reputation spoofing made via such fake accounts. That's a different issue. > Multiple browser profiles on the same device do not matter, because the same device ID will be returned. In some countries, in Asia and Africa, a single device can be used by multiple people. Internet cafes are another use cases. And shiny tablets can be also for one family. Basically device != user != web service > The main point, if device ID could be available it would provide more great possibilities for users and web-services. And it would create big challenges in usability and privacy. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations, Opera Software
