The much maligned “Trusted Computing” idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google’s ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google’s hands, this would eliminate ad-blocking, this would break any and all accessibility features, this would obliterate any competing platform, this is very much opposed to what the web is.
This will be great, just filter me out from all ad content. I will not even need ad blocker.
Your doctor, tax office and other public services or your employer or job seeking webite says hi.
Very few of us can truly live without the internet.
