You have to be hopelessly naive to believe that the hold-back feature is going to be implemented as described, if at all, and not quietly removed when the outrage dies down.

And even if it stays as described, the percentage will be low enough that those that fail attestation can be safely barraged with captchas or simply told to go away. (You can try browsing the web with TOR to get a taste of how you will be treated)

The whole post can be summarized as "trust me bro"

Yeah, it was only when I briefly worked for a FAANG that I realised that it doesn't really matter how many well-meaning engineers you have, because ultimately they don't make the decisions. Execs make the big decisions, and they will always take the most profitable choice.
