There’s a saying, on the internet nobody knows you’re a dog.

WEI is part of a broader movement to make this false - more generally to make an internet where we know you are a human staring at a screen

It turns out having dogs (or more commonly programs and scripts) on the internet is not profitable and not good for business, so corporations want to take dogs off their websites by finding clever ways to attest that a real human with eyeballs is clicking with hands and staring at ads.

Support dog rights. Don’t allow for a WEI-dominated web.

The whole narrative about WEI "proving" you're a human is completely false (and I'd argue a ruse). It only proves you're using a sanctioned OS and browser binary. It does nothing to stop robots being wired-up to devices w/ emulated inputs.

In fact, WEI will make it easier to use a robot w/ a sanctioned software stack since, hey, it's a "human" per WEI.

WEI is about proving you're a human the way the Kid's Online Safety Act is about protecting kids.
