TPM was known to be a DRM Trojan horse in 2004. Then everyone forgot about that fact.

Sure, pushing Linux is just a new angle, but don’t doubt for a second that TPM has any purpose than making your own computer trust a cabal of corporations over you, the owner. And if there is a critical mass of TPM standardized hardware, such that a “trusted” environment is the standard, it will lock you out of major use cases on all “untrusted” systems, including Linux.

And that deserves a lot of outrage.
