Serving up unblock-able ads is just a small part of what this DRM will do. It will be used to track you, as well. VPNs will be useless because the tracking won’t be done through your IP address, but through your browser, identified by DRM and tied to your Google account.
That’s what this is really all about. They want to know who you are, where you are, where you go, what you see, what you buy, and who you associate with. And don’t think for a moment that Google won’t hand this information over to any government officials who are looking for an excuse to abuse you. Forcing you to watch ads is just the icing on the cake.
