Did we just get trapped by clicking the above link? There have been cases were people just idly clicking on a link have been deemed to be guilty even if it was just as a result of curiosity. See: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9899151-38.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9899151-38.html
Shouldn't there be warnings before people post links like that which may have unintended consequences for the link clickers?
- AlexMuir 15y agoOh come on. Grow a pair of balls - if you've just been 'trapped' by a link then have the guts to go to court and fight for something. Don't be such a bloody wimp.
- rexreed 15y agoPerhaps - but the point is that the link is sitting there without any warning at all about the fact that the site is threatening anyone that clicks on it. At the very least there should be a [WARNING]. Who's to say that someone won't post a honeypot link of the style mentioned in the above article I just cited? If you didn't read that, you should. Entrapment on the internet is real.
- AlexMuir 15y agoIf such a link is suspected then we should spread it far and wide, rendering it effectively useless.
