And this bullshit even before "Pax Chromana". Imagine the things to come. It's like we've learned nothing.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoWidevine is DRM so there's no reason for a freedom activist to want it.
- nikitaga 6y agoThis has nothing to do with "freedom activists". Besides, "freedom activists" don't need to watch news clips or youtube? Or are they so short-sighted they think DRM will remain limited to entertainment services like Netflix and Hulu? Do "freedom activists" want to live in a world where you need Google's permission to compete with their browser? Is that the kind of freedom they're activisming about? Freedom from the tyranny of non-Google choices?
