... which I don't believe due to the participation of big U.S. companies
on censorship and surveillance in repressive regimes (and on EME)
despite the negative public reactions. Apparently they gain more than
they lose with such a behavior.
Indeed, it seems that the hypothetical censorship proposal would be in
scope the same way EME is and W3C would be a proper place to develop it,
providing there is sufficient interest among implementors.
