Human-facing, client-side platform-state attestation tools are not going to be used to secure the agency or well being of humans. As soon as they hit production they are going to be used to defend businesses and business models at the expense of human choice and agency. Intentions are irrelevant, they are worth nothing, and anyone building these tools claiming that they serve a human good is lying to you, themselves or both.
