Google Tries to Defend Its Web Environment Integrity as Critics Slam It as Dangerous
techreport.com
Google has defended its Web Environment Integrity on the grounds that it aims to make web browsing more private and safe through tokens.

I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.

Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.

    This is much much more than just ad blocking. The mechanism is so generic that it can be used to lock out users for whatever reason. If the “attester” doesn’t provide the requested proof then you’re just shit outa luck. We should not hand such a power to anyone, let alone big for-profit companies.
