Sorry for breaking your two-words-rule - for the benefit of those who want to assess whether it's actually worth divin into this "proposal":

At its core, it establishes software components called "attesters" that decide whether your device and/or browser is "trustworthy" enough - as defined by the website you are trying to visit. Websites can enforce which "attesters" users must accept, simply by denying everybody access who refuses to bow down to this regime; or who uses attesters that are deemed "inappropriate"; or who is on a platform that does not provide any attesters the website finds "acceptable".

In short: it is specifically designed to destroy the open web by denying you the right to use whatever browser you want to use, on whatever operating system. It is next-level "DRM", introduced by affiliates of a company that already has monopolized the browser market. And the creators of this "proposal" absolutely know what they are attempting here.

Browser monopoly

Google already have the monopoly on multimedia DRM (Widevine), now they will have the monopoly on the web.

They will impose DRM on the web with the excuse of "trusted computing".

Everything for our safety, for the safety of children, against fake news, and hate speech, of course.
