Strongly agree. We've already seen shades of this in banking. After chips were added to credit cards, people started having their chargebacks denied because "our records show the card was physically present" (even if the char

The danger is one day there might be no options that don't require remote attestation on Windows and Chrome. Your bank doesn't allow Linux? Choose another bank! ... but what happens once every bank has those requirements?

"We are likely to break this law, therefore we shouldn't be punished when it happens"? Classic. The US has a similar problem with CAN-SPAM. Ordinary citizens cannot sue.[1] All you can do is complain to the FTC, after which o
