When Microsoft first proposed a remote attestation scheme for PCs under the name Palladium, it was widely seen as a nightmare scenario. Even the mainstream press was critical[0]. There was barely a whimper when Google introduced Safetynet a decade later.

It wasn't OK in 2003. It wasn't OK in 2014. It isn't OK now. I'm just not sure what anybody can do about it.
