A good and measured article marred only by a silly, clickbait title.

Unless there is a plan to allow attesters that are independent bodies then this is absolutely a threat to the open internet, or what's left of it.

The biggest dead canary for me is the lack of calling this out explicitly by Google or Apple. We're left to assume that Google is hand-wavingly saying "don't worry we can take care of that" when the private companies already monopolizing parts of the Internet are the absolute last people we want handling attestation.

What is wrong when walking into a web shop with disclosing how much money you earn and may be able to part with?

Obviously this is awful, but I wanted to share some organizations could use that as a bad pattern:

"Oh, this area of $hot_social_media_site is for people earning ($user_salary * 1.4). But you can get access for just $10/month paid monthly or $9/month paid a year in advance! You don't want to be left out and lose the chance to network with higher earners, do you?!?"
