Why protocol and browser vulnerabilities should be regulated via laws instead of being fixed?
- Nextgrid 6y agoBecause certain technologies are not vulnerabilities per-se. Cookies and local storage can both be used for good as well as for evil - the browser can't magically guess the intention behind a cookie or a local storage API call. Similar to the real-world, there are a lot of things that can be used for good as well as for evil. A car can be used for transportation but can also be used to run people over; this doesn't mean we're just going to ban all cars or make them non-functional because otherwise some people might use them to hurt others - we rely on laws to prevent misuse instead.
