Now is your last chance to tell the W3C to save the world from legally protected insecure software on all computers forever!
This is a great threat to the possibility of societal change on a whole! Because that change is organized on the web.
Use this simple tool to tell the W3C to say no to DRM. Now! https://action.openrightsgroup.org/say-no-to-drm-as-a-web-standard

@forteller *sigh* Cory's comments here have zero nuance, but that's what I expect from him.
DRM content is handled through sandboxed code, and can be disabled without harm, you just won't be able to view DRMed content.

Is DRM foolishness? Yes. Are you going to tell a couple billion people they can't watch "Game of Thrones" or "Great British Baking Show"? That will not go well.
@emma That it's possible to turn something off is hardly relevant as long as 98% of the world population will not turn it off. We must look at what normal people will actually do, and that is to use the default.
Will billions of people be unable to watch anything if W3C does not enshrine DRM as a web standard? No. It's not a standard today.
