@robin @Edent And it's not very heartening to hear a Director say "Google is a serious problem that we need to solve". Perhaps you could tell me in what way we've not been supportive?

@cdub @Edent Chris, as I said (several times now) I don't at all hold Google responsible for W3C's current woes. I'll add that I am thankful for the work you personally have done. I do however believe that Google is a very serious problem for the Web and one that we need to solve. I don't think that I've been particularly discreet about this opinion or that it would surprise any Member who voted for me.

@cdub Look up surveillance capitalism sometime. There’s even a book about it, I hear. (Or “people farming” if you want a not-so-gentle introduction as to why the corporation you represent isn’t a force for good in the world.) https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/surveillance-capitalism-has-led-us-into-a-dystopia/p06p0tdy @robin @Edent
