Building on @jyasskin's amendments, I propose a compromise to clarify that GPC is intended to allow users to opt out of sale, sharing, or the use of their data for cross-context targeting. However, I note that the laws that have been enacted to date generally only restrict the use of cross-organization data for targeting.

Thank you, Justin. We think this is an improvement, and so it should be merged as an intermediate step even if the WG doesn't take the following suggestions: We think that "cross-context" is unnecessarily ambiguous here. We'd prefer more precise language in the definition like "cross-organization", but failing that, we think "cross-context ad targeting" should be defined to clearly exclude same-site ad targeting, to match the discussion in May. |

This is also responsive to (#94) which sought greater consistency across the spec on intended scope.
