The blame is pervasive through the entire comment. If you can't see that, you need to reboot, install updates, and look again. It was a very brief comment and its ENTIRE CONTENT was a criticism of the victim's conduct and a suggestion about how the victim should alter said conduct (and sacrifice a lot of money) to avoid Bad Things, rather than the right fucking answer here, which is to put everyone involved with this in jail for 20 years and the publicize that Google is being evil again.
- wutbrodo 5y agoThe comment's advice isn't especially intuitive, and as such it's not at all blameworthy to have failed to follow it; I'd likely have done the same thing the victims did. On top of that, they didn't say what the victims "should have" done, and left out the subject of "should". This is easily interpreted as broader advice, instead of criticism of the victims' actions. The comment is completely consistent with the interpretation: "it's unintuitive and thus understandable that the victims didn't do this, but one should eat the cost of devices with unremovable sensitive data instead of sending it anywhere". > If you can't see that, you need to reboot, install updates, and look again I think I'm good with the version I'm running. Apparently it allows me to have enough going on in my life that I don't have the desperate impulse to get a dose of morning outrage from interpreting everything in the least charitable light.
