The problem is her. If she is gullible enough to be talked into sideloading she is vulnerable enough to be talked into worse. You don't need to sideload anything to make a bank transfer.

That doesn't really matter, and it may not even be a preferred method if they make the warnings sufficiently scary. More importantly, the cost is too great to justify such a small and questionable benefit.

- kennysoona 2y agoNo, it really doesn't. The people advocating for this limitation are the ones that need to justify it.
