Yes this worries me. Especially with the market share. Surely a large web gatekeeper like Chrome would be in violation of anti trust regulation?

- jrockway 8y agoWhat's your legal theory behind an antitrust violation? If it were the case, why wouldn't we have already been down this road with SSL certificates? If I want to open the jrockway CA with a policy of "I will literally sign any CSR with no verification", I can't, because no major browser vendor will add me to their certificate whitelists. That's not an antitrust violation.
- setquk 8y agoThe legal basis is that google operate the largest video delivery site. If they fail to whitelist smaller organisations then they are operating anti competitively. The CA situation is a different model. To be honest the whole trustworthy CA thing is a joke as we’ve found out recently. The model is broken. Look at Symantec.
- retox 8y agoPeople are getting e-irate at so called "net neutrality" but don't care when corps force their opinions and business decisions on users, or even block them entirely from working with their competitors. (See goog blocking YouTube on Amazon devices, Netflix refusing to offer the streams non-blessed browsers, etc).
