So, they can also block operating systems if they deemed them untrustworthy? So, if you are running Linux and some corporation deemed it "untrustworthy", you are SOL? What if you have a rooted phone? What if you are running graphene OS or calyx OS to protect your privacy? So, technically, if a site can't track you, they can just deem you as "untrustworthy"? This is fucked. We need to stop it at all costs.
Yes exactly. This is what worries me the most since I also run only Linux, and I can't imagine even being interested in computers anymore if Linux is not allowed on the web. That would be horrific.
It's 100% critically dangerous and must be stopped.
Yeah, this is crazy and need to be stopped. Google certainly need to be broken up, they are getting too powerful
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!
I want to live in the timeline whete Microsoft was borken up
