There’s a reason Digital Rights Management techonologies are loved by corpofascists; control over the full communication channel, from file source, to OS kernel (TPM modules, trusted computing, signed OS images via UEFI), to transmission protocol, to physical channel (hdmi) to screen de rendering in the final device.

Once the tooling is laid out and people are forced into not owning their devices, nor being able to copy, nor consume media that hasn’t been cryptographically signed and approved, then it’s all fair game.

There’s ways to ensure digital rights and reduce privacy that doesn’t need forcing people to not own any part of the communication channel whatsoever (privacy is a UX problem, give people an easy way to consume media and they will pay for it).

It’s also why they are also scared of the “analog hole” (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_hole) that they try for people to self-censor.
