Chaekyung“Today, millions of Americans rely on the Internet and online platforms for their daily lives.  Competition in this industry is vitally important, which is why today’s challenge against Google — the gatekeeper of the Internet — for violating antitrust laws is a monumental case both for the Department of Justice and for the American people,” said Attorney General William Barr. Oct 21 08:49
Chaekyungschestowitz: I do agree Google's got a virtual monopoly on the "wild" web advertising market. And I use them.Oct 21 08:49
ChaekyungThe obvious question you may ask is: Why, why would I do this. Oct 21 08:49
ChaekyungI've looked around and I have tried a lot of alternatives. Google works, others simply .. don't. Oct 21 08:50
ChaekyungBut one thing Barr seems to overlook is that Google's actually just sitting on between one third and one fourth of the online advertising market, Facebook (Facebook/Instagram/lots more) and Twitter take a large chunkOct 21 08:51

DaemonFC[m]The DoJ should go after Microsoft again because they realize that propping up Google's monopoly is good for them.Oct 21 18:20
DaemonFC[m]Eventually, there will be so many things the web platform needs that only Chromium can run that Mozilla gives up on Gecko.Oct 21 18:21
DaemonFC[m]I filed an antitrust complaint in Illinois against Google, with the state's attorney general, but they never investigated. I did that primarily over Widevine.Oct 21 18:21
DaemonFC[m]I said that sooner or later, more sites that probably never would have used DRM had it not been there will use it simply because it is there and then even basic web multimedia would be off limits to users of open source web browsers.Oct 21 18:22
DaemonFC[m]At the time I had no idea that it would also be used by (at least) Fox News and Reddit as part of a fingerprinting attack to implement supercookies that are on the server side, to invade the user's privacy.Oct 21 18:23
DaemonFC[m]Either here's this DRM module that they can load and, if you have it turned off it doesn't load, which may avoid some sort of malware attack, but having it off makes you more unique to the fingerprinter because only a minority of people specifically turn it off. Oct 21 18:24
DaemonFC[m]So you lose either way on this one, as far as privacy goes. You can turn it off and reduce the attack surface for malware and increase your uniqueness to a fingerprinter attack, or you can turn it on and it can run potentially malicious machine code in a sandbox you hope actually works.Oct 21 18:25
DaemonFC[m]With proprietary software, it's guilty until proven innocent, which is very hard to do. Even if you somehow proved that there's no backdoors in that version, it updates itself in the background, so the version you checked out will be obsolete soon and quit working.Oct 21 18:26
DaemonFC[m]Of course Mozilla planted the Normandy backdoor in Firefox. I'm guessing that's how Widevine updates itself. Oct 21 18:27
DaemonFC[m]They don't know what's in it.Oct 21 18:27
DaemonFC[m]The "sandbox" is an admission that it's dangerous, that they can't audit it (Google only gives them permission for the blob), and that's why they did the sandbox.Oct 21 18:28
DaemonFC[m]But they can't guarantee that the sandbox holds under attackOct 21 18:28

ChaekyungWidevine would only be one of _many_ factors used to create what you call "supercookie". That's not really what it is, it's a server-side ID (guess you can call that a cookie, I don't)Oct 21 19:13
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Well, I looked at our rental screening  report.Oct 21 19:29
DaemonFC[m]Looks like that work I did on our credit paid off.Oct 21 19:30
DaemonFC[m]I got a letter from the collection agency about Mandy's accounts. They said they deleted them because they reviewed it with the original creditor and I was right and they were told to cease collection activity and delete it from his credit reports.Oct 21 19:30
DaemonFC[m]So that's probably why we got this apartment.Oct 21 19:31
DaemonFC[m]Just wow. All that work to remove like $600 in medical debt. I told them the insurance company paid it and it still took me 4 months to get them to back off.Oct 21 19:32
DaemonFC[m]They like hitting you with a collection account for each bill.Oct 21 19:32
DaemonFC[m]That way it makes your score go down more and you'll call them up to work out a pay for delete or something. Oct 21 19:32
DaemonFC[m]It's blackmail.Oct 21 19:32
