Shady people will do shady stuff, no mater what law says. And you will never catch all or even most of them.
So if it's all the same it would be better if we come with solution, that prevents abuse from happening in the first place
- michaelmrose 7y agoThe point is not to stop anyone on earth from behaving in a shady fashion its to make it systematically challenging for the normal behavior of non malicious people to enable malicious people. If you can buy or take over responsibility for extension foo and automatically exploit thousands of people who automatically get updated to foo 1.1 now with 1000% more malware then it will happen. If you have me/foo and you want to take over maintaining foo and you have to create you/foo and convince people to remove the working version of me/foo and switch to your you/foo this is a small burden for legitimate users but a higher bar for scummy companies whose accounts will doubtlessly either have a bad history or far more likely none at all to lean on. Further the time required to convince users to switch will be much longer leading to more time for something to be discovered as malicious before users are effected. Best this whole process makes exploiting users much less valuable and thus you have less of it to start with.
