It isn't just "make ad-blocking (near) impossible" as the current title of the submission suggests. It is:

Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers.

Make browsing the internet possible only on macOS, Windows, Android or iOS (no custom Android distributions, definitely no LineageOS or GrapheneOS or whatever). No competition allowed in Operating Systems, especially no open source operating systems.

Make crawling the internet possible only to Google. No private crawling and no competing search engines.

Let me know if I've missed anything...

iirc remote attestation is reliant on hardware attestation, which means these websites will only run on authorized DRM-enforcing hardware and architectures. Only Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and the like. No open-source firmwares, architectures or hardware.

It's important to remember they are only commercial efforts. If you can value something other than money it doesn't matter what the corporate web is doing compared to human ingenuity and the internet. Let them waste their time and money write their specs.

Unfortunately, the corporate Web has managed to monopolise how we communicate and learn about things (Facebook, reddit, twitter, YouTube, news sites, etc).

This is a mistaken view. The closest thing I have to social media is HN. I did get a twitter account in the beginning and I was waiting for the right moment to tweet but it seems to have passed.

The above is true only to the extent that you believe it. I don't believe it at all so I'm not part of the "you" I'm an "other".

The "News" is a whole other problem closer to truth. So not technical entirely. Individuals started newspapers and individual will deliver the news.

A big issue corporations currently face is that everything has become so cheap that their scale of effort is a hindrance.

If a corporation is not acting ruthlessly efficient the economy of scale breaks down quickly. The crux of this will cause the success of many smaller scale efforts that don't hold the overhead of a corporation.

The original promise of the public internet was the idea that broadcasting was dead and narrowcasting was the wave of the future. This was true up until ads became legal/common on the internet.

Take away the commercial interest and you are left with passionate publishers and audiences.
