Interesting idea.

Ideally the 'Never Monetise' site would record and have a non-removable list of any site which had a hyperlink through to it, as a ledger of the sites that have made this commitment.

If they do then change their policy in the future, this would be independent, verifiable proof of a prior commitment.

I've recently written about a similar topic, regarding an app's commitment to privacy and the cost of not selling user data:

My post asked a similar question -- how much money could we make if we sold user data instead of committing to a privacy-first approach?
