   Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign

     @jihadjimmy Sure, although it's technically possible to replace all of the JavaScript with free JavaScript via Haketilo.
     
     WEI is up a proprietary level, where the goal it to make it so to even connect to the web site, the computer must confirm that all software making up the OS is proprietary and unmodified and in any cases of free software replacement, the computer must rat out the user to the proprietary overlords.

     Javascript abuse and Clownflare have been doing this exact same kind of shit for years already, not much of a difference.

     @fsf I did my part and emailed the FTC about it, giving a detailed explanation of why Web Environment Integrity is a bad idea and cannot be allowed to exist. I also linked to several other articles on it, including the one on defectivebydesign.org.

     I also use Firefox.
