#Google apparently wants to lock the web in its foul embrace with #DRM https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/googles-web-integrity-api-sounds-like-drm-for-the-web/
#manifestv3 must be stopped NOW.

Repeat a 1,000 times: #Google is an #advertising moloch and #Chrome browser monopolist, NOT your friendly free service provider!

Google is about to smack down on the #OpenWeb, killing it with their so-called "Web Environment Integrity API" #DRM proposal.

"Wanna watch those #Netflix or #Youtube vids? Better have Chrome without #AdBlocker then"

"Here's plenty #ads. Now hand over your #PII so we can grow our #SurveillanceCapitalism empire"

A web server has zero (say it with me, “zero”) right to compel any client to reveal information about itself.

Unless we inscribe this as a fundamental and immutable tenet of the web, the web as we know it will cease to exist once some version of Google’s Web Environment Integrity proposal makes it past the corporate lackeys at the W3C.

"#Deere abuses copyright law to force farmers to pay for official repairs — even when the farmer does the repair. That’s possible thanks to a practice called VIN locking, in which engine parts come with #DRM that prevents the tractor from recognizing them until they pay hundreds of dollars for a John Deere technician to come to their farm and type an unlock code into the tractor’s console."

Plus: The win is not as good as it looks.

Per vederla bisogna entrare nella #prigionedorata dei #drm. Grazie, preferisco vedere #karatekid originale. Ed accompagnare le mie figlie a #jujitsu che hanno la grande fortuna di avere una zia #maestra cintura nero di 2º o 3º dan 😄

Prime, Netflix e tutti i servizi di video a richiesta sono il male assoluto perché sono flagellati dalle #manettedigitali dei #DRM. #SaynotoDRM!!!! @Songase975

Pur riconoscendo che #tolkien e #arda sono di tutt'altro livello temo uno scempio analogo a quello si dice abbiano fatto degli Anelli del potere (preferisco i libri e non pago per piattaforme dove devi immolare la libertà sull'altare dei #drm).
Sarebbe fichissimo se gli riuscisse una cosa alla #happydays 😀
@Toshiro73

I just wish #apple change their #DRM #GoldenPrisons attitude
@jwildeboer @abbienormal @dottorblaster

and both were ridden with nasty #DRM
Stay away from those digital shackles!
