Comment on Who makes money when AI reads the internet for us?
lurker8008@lemmy.world 9 months agoRemember Google attempt at DRM for the Internet? That would in effect block this. This and similar are justifying to companies to support Google Chrome only and use their DRM.

I do not remember Google's attempt at DRM for the Internet, which is an indication of how well it went for their attempt.

They aren’t done trying yet.

I just did a search, and according to the articles I've found Google abandoned the "Web Environment Integrity" API in November and removed their prototype from Chromium.

Well except that they are continuing with developing it for their Webview browser which is the web browser based of chrome that’s embedded in basically every app anyways.
Plus Apple has their Web Tokens which are not being fought against which means Google will be desperate to get in on the pie that Apple is getting away with even if it means waiting and coming up with a different name for it.
It’s still coming. Web DRM and person specific tracking is just around the bend once we get exhausted and distracted enough.
