The Tor network won't help with this. The Tor browser, based on Firefox, will only be able to access these sites if it supports the same DRM. If that means sharing a key that identifies your browser uniquely, then the Tor browser is over unless it can serve up random keys each time. The next thing Google will try is to tie the DRM keys to your identity (and your Google account) through some central key-approving authority. Media companies will like that if it means they can block users from spoofing their country to get access to shows that aren't available in their own country. Governments will like it because they'll know the identity of every user of every website. And it will be sold as improving your safety or giving you content that suits your interests. And somehow protecting children.
Protectinf the children is the most stupid excuse i've ever heard ๐
Yeah but the cool thing about projects like tor is that they let you access other content, if they block social medias behind a DRM wall being able to access other (non compliant) platforms will be a priority for us.
But maybe i haven't quite got how this work?
