Can someone explain how the server is going to know whether or not the client browser is showing the ad? A stealthy browser would say, "hey yeah send that ad so I can render it to the user" and the server says, "yeah ok" and then . How is the server going to know whether the ad is displayed or not? Don't current gen adblockers not even retrieve the asset? If the asset was retrieved but not displayed, how (if even) can this be monitored?
I swear I was just thinking of this today as the next step in this shitshow
I don't get how they want make those attesters trustworthy. Any attester is installed on a user device, so its "private" key used for verdict signing can be retrieved by a bot author and used to make fake verdicts. Disregarding ethics of the proposal, it just won't work in real world.
This shouldn't be allowed no matter what
I will personally stay on the internet instead of what essentially amounts to google intranet.
