Google tries to defend its Web Environment Integrity
Google has defended its Web Environment Integrity on the grounds that it aims to make web browsing more private and safe through tokens.
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.

The fraud-fighting project has fired up quite a controversy
fraud-fighting? Even Google's initial pitch was explicitly describing it as a way to sell more ads.
I wish they'd have grown a pair and outright said "we're forbidding ad blockers in Chrome, come at us". I bet there'd be less controversy. This WEI thing just makes them look like sniveling weasels.
From their point of view, blocking ads probably equals fraud.
