Being able to send people things without their approval is a problem on all sorts of things across the internet.
Spam email is the most common, but the same problem exists for people sharing things in Google Drive.
I had a password manager application that allowed you to share password entries to anyone else who has an account with that password manager company. The app/site actually did require you to approve the incoming entries, but didn't let you know what was in them, how many there were, etc.
- skykooler 4y agoI was wondering about this with regards to bitcoin and other crypto currencies (which also have no way to choose whether or not to receive something sent to you). Surely someone could do some crime with coins in a certain wallet, and then transfer them to you; your wallet now contains illegal money and you don't really have a way to prove that you weren't involved.
