What I'm interested in is when we as a community start to punish these companies. When will conferences refuse to allow Netflix, Apple, Google and Microsoft employees to present? In the 1980s the civilised world turned its back on the apartheid regime of South Africa, and in time South Africa ended apartheid. This didn't come at an insignificant cost (South Africa was at the time a well-developed economy which other nations would have liked to have traded with), but it was morally worthwhile. Clausewitz noted that war is diplomacy carried on by other means. It seems to me that this article is EFF's declaration of independence, and the next logical step is to declare war on the W3C and its members. They are breaking the web; they are destroying the security of the web's users; we need to stop enabling this behaviour.
