@jeffjarvis Hi Jeff! The Swiss government is working on a "link tax" law, similar to the one in Canada. I seem to remember that, on TWiG, you've mentioned a study that showed how longer snippets drive more traffic to websites. Could you please point me to it? I'd be very interested to check it out!

This can't end well. I've already sent emails to our exec and data security departments about this.

Non è solo il fatto di essere un monopolio in svariati settori; è che si tratta di un'azienda che non esita ad usare la sua posizione di potere per piegare tutto il web al suo volere. La "Web integrity API" è qualcosa di semplicemente mostruoso che va contro ogni principio fondamentale del web per il semplice vantaggio degli inserzionisti.

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.

Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken.

I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.
