Exactly. The breathlessness of the article made no sense to me. It's like someone writing, "Did you know that if someone breaks into your home, they can rearrange the books on your bookshelf‽" Well, yes, of course they can but if someone has broken into my house, unauthorized alphabetization is the least of my worries.
Similarly, if there's an XSS vulnerability on my site, Google search index manipulation is pretty far down on the list of things I'm going to be worried about.

- skrebbel 7y agoMy compliments on "unauthorized alphabetization". (and the interrobang, obviously)
