  • Surely you're aware of the embrace, extend, extinguish corporate strategy.

    People only get to decide what they want from their platform until facebook starts extending the spec. Then your client will become incompatible with some posts, and so on and so forth.

    In summary, it's a threat to the platform itself.

  • If there was a bot that just flooded All with far right talking points, do you think admins ought to block that or leave it to the users?

    What if it was far right mixed in with cat memes?

    What if it started more slowly like a few posts an hour and then ramped up over 6 months to be 1000s of posts per hour?

  • Exactly, I hereby decide that I would like to ignore corporate efforts to undermine this burgeoning new platform. I furthermore reserve the right to complain about the loss of said platform in future years by claiming that it's everyone elses fault for allowing corporate encroachment.

  • Not really.

    Cancel all mygov accounts that are using secret questions as 2 factor auth. Job done.

    Most of the "scammers" are peoples junkie kids. I shit you not.

    They can't / won't do that though because then you can't blame old / poor people for being old / poor and not being able to access services.

  • Tax agent here.

    I've seen a bunch of tax payers fall victim to this. It's not sophisticated. Just answer people's secret questions to access their mygov accounts. That's it.

    Thereafter it's trivial to request changes to a tax return that will generate a refund of $20k, whatever really.

    It would be trivial for the ATO to intercept. A highschool student could write a database query to reveal the fraudulent changes.

  • The phrase "baseless assumptions" does not mean that no base was provided. It means that the purported base is inadequate to support a causal likelihood that the assumptions are true.

    Besides which, your argument is one of semantics, which you're welcome to.
