Google’s “Web Integrity API” sounds like DRM for the web

It's just a "proposal," but it's also being prototyped inside Chrome right now.

Google’s nightmare “Web Integrity API” wants a DRM gatekeeper for the web

It's just a "proposal," but it's also being prototyped inside Chrome right now.

Ars Technica

@arstechnica

"websites trusting the client environment" is about as smart as blindly injecting params into a SQL statement

@theocs @arstechnica Yes, but that's unlikely the _actual_ point here.

More likely it's something along the lines of allowing Web sites to block you using them without e.g. confirming your ad-blocker is off and they have unfettered access to your brain...
