And soon desktop OSes will follow, if you don’t have TPM you won’t be able to browse half of the internet.

Not soon, now. The new reCAPTCHA on desktop shows you a QR code for you to scan with your Google-approved phone to prove you have one.
A parallel, fully public and accessible internet being widespread and available for anyone with a slight tinkering kick... Could actually be really awesome.
Let the commerce-driven, corporatized hellhole that the modern web has become eat itself.
I love the vision, but I do wonder how the parallel internet will deal with DDoS levels of bot traffic.
I hear ‘web of trust’ pretty often and I like the idea but that’s not anonymous or accessible either
How do personal blogs deal with the HN hug of death? In this increasingly-utopian vision, I imagine that being more widespread than (paid) DDOS attempts. There won't be any money to be made (banks, Paypal, etc. won't trust the "parallel web") and with the proliferation of synthetic training data I'm not sure how useful a target a bunch of blogs and smallweb sites would be.

Something that makes it expensive to initiate a connection and cheap (relatively) to accept or reject would probably help. I think that’s a hard problem though.
Well, how does Tor or other services do it now?

What a coincidence that Windows 11 makes it a requirement!
TPMs can also be based on free software and our own keys. It works well with Heads and Librem Key.
TPM with things like Heads are borderline zero security and theater compared to actually decent implementations on Android/iOS platforms, I doubt the big companies would rely on that. TPM in general on non Mac/Chromebook PCs is mediocre even from big OEMs.
