The title is highly misleading, and is predictably being interpreted as 2SV becoming mandatory for everyone. But that's not what the article text says:
> We will soon start automatically enabling two-step verification for users if their accounts are configured correctly”
And then goes on to speculate about who exactly that group of users is.
- ergot_vacation 5y agoGlad this is (at the moment at least) the top comment. Add another to the infinitely growing pile of HN news posts that are either out of date, massively misleading in making a calamity out of a non-issue, or both. Not that it's HN's fault. This is just modern "media." Yeck. Still, worth griping about 2FA while we're here.
- evandwight 5y agoDo you think it would be better to filter the news as a group rather than individually? I find it very frustrating not being able to trust titles.
- reaperducer 5y agoNot that it's HN's fault In a way, it is. A lot of people joined HN searching for a higher level of discussion and thought. And HN is powered by submissions from its users. What would be nice is if we could get more high-quality submissions to drown out the bots and other low-grade content. Perhaps if users could filter out submissions by domain. For example, I don't mind seeing nytimes.com submissions, but I don't want to see anything from youtube.com. But then we're just back to building yet another social media echo chamber. Yuck. Life is hard.
