Google Criticized for Privacy Issues
Ian ‘Hixie’ Hickson, a prominent figure in the Flutter community, has left Google. Despite not being as public as other contributors, Hixie wrote a blog post upon his departure, offering insights into Google’s actions and the criticism it faces. He defends Google’s intentions, such as with Google Books, and argues that some privacy advocates harm users by opposing beneficial Google proposals. He also laments the prevalence of unnecessary cookie warnings resulting from public cynicism towards well-intentioned projects. This resonates with the author’s recent experience with the Web Environment Integrity (WEI) API, which aims to streamline attestation processes but faces skepticism.
