  • TPM is a secure part, a cryptoprocessor with some memory, isolated from everything else, very basically.

    It stores keys and other sensitive data, like your “hello windows pin”… Or any other PIN if you want…

    This secure “box” can also be used for DRM by using the secure nature of the TPM to store the keys, or to encrypt the harddisk of your work laptop. Multiple of uses really. It’s kind of like all piece of technology, it seems like.

    At that point, it’s like you are saying that encryption is bad because it can be used for DRM or validate if a piece of software is valid or not.

    The TPM by itself isn’t bad or related to privacy invasion. Nor the internet or a browser is only used to spy on you.

    There is a limit to the conspiracy…
