The problem with hand-waving freakoutery is that it's easy to say that something is a nothingburger with a slice of innocuous cheese on top.
Like this "chrome wants to ban adblockers" story. The defense might be "oh, it's just a tool for establishing trust and has nothing to do with adblocker-blocking or DRM".
But such new tech isn't just a tool. Technology has a direction, too. A destination it will steadily progress toward. That technological direction needs to be accounted for. Carefully.
