Refer to the UNIX Programming Environment:
UNIX does not stop the user from doing stupid things,
as that would also prevent them from doing clever things.
Apply s/stupid/bad and s/clever/good and you have my view on this issue.
Also, as others have pointed out, the most egregious cases are already considered
fraud, and therefore illegal. I see no reason to make further laws.
- glogla 14y agoTrue, but UNIX also doesn't try to trick you into something or scam you in any way. There's no "Do you also want to run rm -rf /? [Y/n]" when you run email client.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThat's only because you don't use evilmail.
