Fair enough; I didn't see them. I'll go hunting. Thanks.

I'm a #software #engineer of <mumble> years with extensive work in #network/#internet/#web fields - and the proposal alarms me, simply because so many of the things that make the web #open and #useful to people now would, fairly obviously, not be able to earn a "#trusted" designation by any #WEI "#attester" -- at least not one that had any intention of being #accepted/#blessed by #Chrome etc.

Continued thread

But this is #belied by their own #example. They talk about the #attester having to handle "billion-qps traffic" - that's a #billion #queries per #second.

No open-source #project, non-commercial #browser, #community #organization, or virtually anyone else whose business isn't based on tracking, abusing, and selling web users is going to be able to stand up a service like that. It would be economically impossible.
