- rpdillon 1y agoFor sure! Web attestation is the gateway through which we will close off the web, and Google's already proposed it.
- chubot 1y agoYeah exactly, there WAS a battle back then, and it WAS won for a while But that doesn't mean it's won forever -- the people of the NEXT generation still have to put in effort --- This thread shows the ingratitude: You didn't fix our problems for all time, in a rapidly changing world! The thing you invented and gave away only fixed it for a decade or so Comment below: > The protocols created no incentives to protect data and identities from being walled off. The original system was not "really good" at anything Memories are short; history is written and framed by interested parties
