Somehow, I think when you conflate Facebook's sending overenthusiastic invite reminders from their own servers and people running botnets to advertise kiddie-porn sites, and call them equally evil [...]
<shrug> And I think that a plausible argument can be made that what Facebook et.al. are doing is worse -- in the long run, not in the obvious/immediate sense. (I'm not going to try to articulate that argument here; too lengthy and not appropriate anyway. But I'll suggest that putting aside the emotion over hot-button issues like kiddie porn is a first step toward considering the relative scale, scope and nature of the diverse -- and inter-related -- threats we face.) ---rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
