Basically, commercial online services (which includes mobile apps) need to add a sentence/paragraph about how they are handling the Do Not Track header requests. This is a California OPPA amendment starting today.

Honest question: How does one send a Do Not Track header request to a mobile app? One does not interact with a mobile app via HTTP (although the app may use HTTP internally) and can therefore not send HTTP headers...

Or, is it in your opinion, a law written by someone who does not have sufficient technical understanding to find the correct wording, and now the law applies erroneously applies to mobile apps?
