It’s not just a problem with unsafe GET requests, it’s a problem for anyone who’s unfortunate enough to work in a company who logs web traffic (which was common practice back in the 90s / early 00s) and who happened to stumble on a site that might have hyperlinks to warez or porn (which, basically, could be any site with user generated content).
I remember hearing several stories about employees getting reprimanded for accessing sites they never intended to visit.
I also know of a similar tail when a national football team had their DNS hijacked and visitors were served porn instead of sports news (also happened around 2000 sort of time)
