It's a legit security issue. Not protecting people from these things is far more user hostile.
- brigandish 3y agoPreventing some users who have the know-how from running a web server is not mutually exclusive with protecting people who don't wish to or don't know how.
- Moldoteck 3y agoBut this issue is minuscule compared to allowing running unverified apps... a thing that's allowed in most android phones a button away without the need to break warranty. What's more funny, looks like ios soon will allow this too. So phones are already offering the option to run unverified code, user should just allow it and accept the risks prompt. Why not treat the server thing (which imo is much less dangerous) just the same way?
