@SylvieLorxu Time to start seeking alternative avenues for releasing.
Between this and their chrome web integrity nonsense, they are going to alienate every creative (and soon Google will be that service for square who like ads)

I know there's already a growing hue and cry about the WEI crap, and a not insignificant amount of pushback. (Though admittedly, I'm not sure how effective it is insofar as making Google actually back off, yet.)

Is it possible that there'll be a similar backlash that can get Google to back away from this ill-founded idea? Or is this locked in at the corporate level and they're ignoring the public?

Not to blow our horn too soon, but the folks at the Etsy strike, (you may recall from a while ago*) just had about 30 people help pull a bill through a committee in the US Congress

It hasn’t passed yet, but it may end up influencing e-commerce

And that was 30 people 🤯

So, organize and don’t shut up.

@AccordionBruce @Shachihoko @yoniden That's great! Do you have any more articles about that? Any way we can perhaps push this stuff? Although getting US congress to care about trans rights seems... not very possible right now. But we may still try and at least influence the EU?

@Shachihoko @yoniden WEI was already added to Chromium's codebase despite pushback. Google completely ignored everything there. But keeping the push up still sounds like a good idea, I can't imagine the EU liking Google adding any tech that can be used to block upcoming alternatives.

So far, Google has completely stonewalled me and while they say they "listen to feedback" they literally don't offer any contact method for it (and the policy team refuses to respond to this).
