The title reads like a Diary of a CEO thumbnail but unlike those discussions this article has a point. Impotent slop code on one side and potent automated vulnerability exploitation on the other will lead to fun times.

Look at it this way: would those four out of ten people have visited those places if they weren't allowed to take any photos or videos? And how many would do a thing if they weren't allowed to tell anyone afterwards?
