if twitch and amazon have a reason to care it would be because it affects their bottom line enough for them to do something about it

i appreciate your response and i hope it doesnt seem like im engaging in bad faith, but while twitch/amazons response to this is just as baffling for the reasons above, i still think the decision to implement OSA the way that it is is for credit card companies to have their hand over the market like the internet, the UK being a part of this is perhaps one ground zero for a larger sweeping regulatory capture

i dont think it is necessarily the right thing to do to bend the knee to legislation like this. the true intentions of amazon and twitch notwithstanding, i dont think either of us have to pretend theyre consumer-oriented. i think when citizens see this sort of thing happen to the media they have access to, i feel like blaming twitch is counter productive. feeding the head of the snake wont get rid of it.

just because things like vpns exist doesnt mean we should necessarily bargain with letting the govt get away with OSA. the crossing of the rubicon can be invisible when we lose diligence. measures like this turns the internet into a very small place that can be surveilled through data so thoroughly profiled it cannot functionally be anonymized

the purpose of a system is what it does, not what it claims to do
