Wow, they might want to check out doineednewservers.com :-)

Surprisingly that domain name is still available :O

Relevant information about this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/verizon-x-uidh

Given the title, I was expecting that page to be just "Yes." in large bold font :)

The header is sent for corporate customers.

The article said "But according to AdAge, "Corporate and government subscribers are excluded from the new marketing solution." We haven't verified (and Verizon refuses to say) whether the header is still sent for those subscribers or not.

Coral Cache might eventually pick up the site:

http://amibeingtracked.com.nyud.net/

which actually is also not working...

I think that's a reflection that the origin isn't, though I'm not sure of that.

Still -- seeding the cache should help ensure that it does eventually show up. Which was the point of posting the link.

That said: CC does seem to have been spotty over the past year or so.

This seems similar (in concept, not implementation) to how google "worked around" Safari privacy settings and lost a lawsuit about it.

Huh, apparently it was the same Stanford grad student who busted Google for the Safari cookies and Verizon for the respawning cookies. Kinda cool.

This page doesn't even load on WP8 (Desktop and mobile versions tested, WiFi and 4G).

>Insert comments about WP8's irrelevancy below<

Seems to be under heavy load. I've got it working once on my desktop (and not again) and never on my phone so far.

That's just the hacker news effect.

Wow! Three downvotes for trying to help test it. When I tried the website on WP8, it had loaded seconds before on Chrome/Linux. But yes, looks like it's down and I must have hit the issue on the phone just when it began and didn't bother to test again on the computer. Sorry about the joke in the end, it was sarcasm.

It looks like i am not being tracked but i am curious to how many people actually are.

Is that because you're not on Verizon?

Not able to open here...is it down??...
