Google really scared of those adblockers it seems
Hmm... WEI seems to serve to reduce ad frauds, not as a direct attack on blocking ads, except maybe for those ad blockers that attempt to maximize expenses for the advertisers.
Stopping ad blocking is very much in their interest, and this system can very quickly be used to do just that.
This is Google we're talking about, their days of not being evil are long gone.
Like 25 years gone...
