I can't believe I'm witnessing the death of the internet, at least it isn't going quietly into the night.
The web is not the whole internet. Plus isn't you being here prove that the internet is resilient?
Even if Lemmy does fight it and doesn't accept the fingerprinting bullshit, how many other websites are going to do that? We're just a link aggregator at the end of the day, I feel like all of the most important parts of the Internet are no longer going to be open.
Honestly, I barely go to any other websites anymore anyway, and I just read the headlines and comments here.
The problem with just reading headlines is that they're often (almost always) misleading or just plain false.
The vast majority of people will not care about or even be aware of this. They'll support it because they just want to watch their Netflix or YouTube. Things will continue on as normal, but with more ads and less end-user control.
It'll be a problem when people are effectively banned from the internet.
But again, the average person won't be impacted enough to care. They'll keep browsing. I'm not saying what Google is trying to do is okay, but it certainly wouldn't be the death of the internet.
They'll be impacted when they can't get online on a gosh darn iPhone because Apple doesn't wanna play ball with Google
You think Apple with App Attest and FairPlay won't jump on this?
It depends, if Google's the only one who can "Choose" they'll be all "I don't know about that one Chief", otherwise... Yeah I'm just practicing wishful thinking
