So did Apple though, years ago. And no one freaked out like this. It just seems like maybe the argument is about something else.
- danShumway 3y agoPeople did complain about Apple; fewer because it's harder to get press attention about Apple on privacy issues, but it's pure revisionism to say that Apple's attestation systems weren't criticized. This is how HN reacted to Apple's announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31751203 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31751203 I have my own set of negative comments in that very thread where I literally call Apple's system DRM. So do I pass this ridiculous "hypocrisy" check well enough now that I'm allowed to complain about Google killing the Open web?
