I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

I guess you missed the part about being able to "validate" plugins, entire operating systems, dns resolving etc.

I don't care about Googles financial problems. I don't use their services. They can close down YouTube if they don't have enough paying customers. Same with Google search. Bye Google. And the internet is suddenly a much better place.

I'm going to guess half of the proposal is to waste time and distract from the minimum requirement they're hoping to actually pass. We saw this a lot in general politics in the US: you make a bold overshooting statement while passing legislature on the side.
