YOU can use remote attestation to verify a remote server you are paying for hasn't been tampered with.

This happens much less frequently than the manufacturer of "my" computing device verifies that I haven't tampered with it. On net, it's a wholesale destruction of user freedom.

  • "it's a wholesale destruction of user freedom." This is ridiculously hyperbolic language for what are basically fancy digital signatures. There is nothing stopping you from using two different systems, one that passes attestation and one that doesn't.
