Wasn't there an incident where a browser shipped with DoNotTrack enabled by default, and thus the signal didn't actually mean the user explicitly enabled DNT themselves?

That was one of the excuses used by some major websites to justify ignoring the DNT signal, yes.

The argument is transparent self-serving BS, though.
