It used to be DRM, but privacy and security are the most prominent excuse under which freedoms are being attacked today, because "why would you argue against privacy and security?" --- just like drugs, terrorism, and child porn.

I have a MITM proxy on my network that strips ads, rewrites pages with custom stylesheets, and all that across every single device connected to it, and it's hard but not impossible to set everything up, and they are only trying to make that harder.

I agree with you completely, except for "right to be forgotten" --- which tends to become interpreted more as a "right to rewrite history".

"Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither."
