Google Tries to Defend Its Web Environment Integrity as Critics Slam It as Dangerous
techreport.com
Google has defended its Web Environment Integrity on the grounds that it aims to make web browsing more private and safe through tokens.

I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.

Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.

      They’ve needed to be broken up for over a decade now, but that’d require the government to actually enforce antitrust/monopoly laws

        The FTC is apparently going after Amazon, so I’d be curious to see how that goes

          Yup. It’s the first FTC in a long time that’s even tried to do their job. Really hoping they have success.

          If it goes anything like Microsoft’s antitrust trial, they’ll drag it out until they get a complicit administration to settle with.

        It’s crazy to think that a little over two decades ago, Microsoft was almost broken up for selling an operating system and a web browser. How monopolistic!
