 == Goal: Firefox users can avoid being tracked ==
-=== Tracking protection in Lightbeam ===
-In Lightbeam, once we have the ability to automatically identify tracking domains, we can offer people the option to disallow network connections to those domains. This work is discussed in the [https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam/wiki/Lightbeam-Roadmap Lightbeam roadmap].
 === Tracking protection in Firefox ===
-Lightbeam currently has 500K active daily installations. We eventually want to make Lightbeam features available to all Firefox users. Experiments in Lightbeam will serve as a valuable testing ground for determining the best user experience for tracking protection. Although Firefox already supports DoNotTrack, the DNT is not enforceable on the client side. With our learnings from Lightbeam, we can port the most useful tracking protection features to Firefox to make DNT "with teeth" available to more people.

 === Physical tracking protection ===
 Physical tracking is becoming increasingly important in brick-and-mortar stores [[http://centerformediajustice.org/wp-content/files/WALMART_PRIVACY_.pdf]]. Because networked devices broadcast their MAC address during wireless network discovery, simply entering the range of a wireless access point enables the wireless provider to track the device, whether or not the device connects successfully to the network. Wifi tracking is something that can only be tacked at the OS level.
-== Goal: Mozilla transforms the discussion around tracking with science ==
-Currently, technical and policy decisions around tracking mechanisms such as cookies are not based experiments conducted on publicly available data sets. Lightbeam strives to enable work in this area to be reproducible and open by encouraging its users to contribute their Lightbeam graphs back to Mozilla, so aggregate, de-identified data can be shared with the scientific community.
