Google's proposed 'Web Integrity API' raises some intriguing questions about the future of web security and user privacy. While the intent to secure the web environment and ensure user authenticity is commendable, the approach seems to echo DRM mechanisms, which have often been contentious. The proposal also brings to light the ongoing debate about device control - should users be penalized for wanting full control over their devices? This 'gatekeeping' approach could potentially stifle the open nature of the web and limit user freedom. As we move forward, it's crucial to strike a balance between security and user autonomy.
