| Accurate enough. Those platforms are more secure. But given that many players have a liability-related interest in making sure everyone uses Secure Platforms: - Many important things that are needed or at least highly useful for daily life will only support "Secure Platforms" - Everyone will have to use "Secure Platforms" whether they would value computing freedom or not - "Not As Secure Platforms" will be unsupported and treated as roughly equivalent to malware. We can see this already literally playing out - it's the whole point of the browser attestation idea. So thanks to this thinking, we'll get one secure package - Firmware, OS, Browser, all cryptographically sealed. None of them changeable, no "tampering," like adblockers, tracking blockers. No programs that could, say, show you what other programs are phoning home. No third-party programs at all, unless they've paid the platform fee and agreed to Platform Vendor's terms. You can always use Linux, if you can figure out the drivers, and if you're ok just browsing GNU websites and the Indie Web. Everyone else will block that dirty, non-attested traffic. "It's probably bots," they'll say. |
