Oh no, not dead at all. Shelved. Thats different altogether. Shelved just means they probably wont push it through without changing it.

Normally I am against user tracking....but if I had to choose between the lesser of 2 evils, I would let myself be tracked all over the Web, as an alternative to this censorship approach. I don't care if my govt. wants to know what I look at or download.....its when they want to decide for me that I get indignant.
