This is a classic example of 'manufacturing' a problem so you can 'solve' it in a self serving way.
At some point technical discussions will have to rise above current naivette and various parroted 'laws' and demonstrate understanding of the real world, corporate and human behavior instead of lamenting after the horse has bolted.
- wyattpeak 8y agoWhile I'm no great believer in their particular solution being motivated by pure altruism, it's simply false to suggest that the problem is manufactured. Telling whether a site is being served by who you think it is is fast becoming a crucial skill, to the point where I explain at least the basics to even the most technically illiterate people I know who use a computer. It's a real problem, in substantial need of a solution.
- bad_user 8y agoWhy can’t the solution simply be education? I don’t buy this learned helplessness. Schools need to evolve with the times. We teach kids calculus in school, surely we can teach them to read a freakin URL.
