I see that, after people raised a whole bunch of issues with the proposal, there's a new message on the Web Integrity API repository: "An owner of this repository has limited the ability to open an issue to users that have contributed to this repository in the past." So the Google engineers' response to people pointing out the defects of the proposal was to shut down people's ability to raise issues with it. It's a good little preview of how they intend to treat the web's users.
It's definitely because they're cowards, but to be entirely fair this is a valid course of action when your repo suddenly gets 10k views a day.
Who am I kidding it because they can't take the hear of being this moronic
The big G's posting about it is merely a formality. They don't actually have to listen. That they closed the bug tracker on that repo so quickly is not a surprise.
