Internet freedom group blasts proposed HTML5 standards |
June 01, 2013
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has issued an angry formal response to a proposed set of HTML5 standards from the World Wide Web Consortium.
The group says that stringent digital rights management technology will be harmful to online freedom and prevent many users from getting access to important content.
The EFF is most concerned about the W3C HTML working group's acceptance of a draft standard that "includes discussion" of a technology called encrypted media extensions. Essentially, says EFF international director Danny O'Brien, this builds DRM into the fabric of what was supposed to be the underpinning for the open Web.
