ISSUE-123: Third parties should be prohibited from acting or representing themselves as first parties.

Third parties should be prohibited from acting or representing themselves as first parties.

State:

POSTPONED

Product:

Compliance Next

Raised by:

Thomas Lowenthal

Opened on:

2012-02-01

Description:

The point here is that if I am "the tracking company" then I should not publish my beacons while hiding under 1st party rules. In particular (for current response header proposal) I should not be allowed to publish a widget/beacon that signals "I am intended for 1st party use (and follow the corresponding rules)" while actually only being designed for 3rd party use as an embedded element.
