@ascott @chiraag @rcombs If computer security folks are really concerned about this thing, a good first step would be to figure out how the fuck to explain it to people using brief, concrete examples that don't rely on guesswork or conspiracy theories. I'll hold off on panicking over it now. I just wanted to point out it's dumb to say "Google is adding DRM to the web!" when it's had DRM for decades, that was the main thing I had to say, haha.

That's fair, I had typed my other reply about the reference spec before I saw this. I think it would be more accurate to say that this would massively extend existing bullshit, it's not necessarily new bullshit. And I wouldn't advise panic at this point, but I'm sure it's obvious that I'm not in favor either.
