and their list of justifications for why what they are doing in
their whitepaper is just... completely laughable.

And so much for the claims their representatives made to the press
the other week that it would only impact "web browsing" (as if such
a thing were even possible.

They clearly are not thinking very well at all of anything beyond
HTTP requests made by humans sitting in front of a web browser.

Oh, I'm sure their technical people are very aware of all the stuff it
will break.  But the company doesn't care, why should they?

They know very well who they are and what they are breaking.
