It's an Orwellian name, but makes a certain amount of sense. That's the most effective kind of Orwellian name.

Even still, I think that it is wrong to give something a convenient name that espouses some virtue. They should have chosen something like Web Environment Verification API.

I think it's spyware, and I don't like it. It reminds me of the Stripe API, where you have to run some JavaScript on your site that snoops on your interactions and reports stuff to Stripe that it uses to detect fraud. >>22937303
