Okay calling it a lie is a harsh term, and I thought we were coming to at least a mutual understanding of each other’s points.

I do not disagree with you, that it shouldn’t be them getting involved. However, what is happening is that they are getting involved whether we like it or not. This is the fundamental difference in our viewpoints. If you think there is still a chance to hold out, go for it, but I think there is no way to avoid it at this point.

I see it very clearly. That it’s going to happen whether we like it or not. I personally think if all the OSes just held out and said “No way we’re not doing anything” then the obvious response is that sites will need to require IDs for everything, and we lost even harder. It’s better to suggest a tech forward privacy based approach now rather than let them dictate that everyone should take IDs.

That’s my point of view. I know you disagree, and we’re not going to come to an agreement, so I don’t see the need to continue this thread.
