Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

    Oh it WILL cause security issues. It’s just a tradeoff against if they are worth the benefits.

      There likely won’t be anything major while 1. 4 billion people will benefit. Security measures will be adapted for this new feature.

      This same thing happened before, a lot of panic for nothing.

          I don’t know. We will both be able to discover them when the features are deployed.

          This is a senseless hysteria about how this is horrible and… I don’t even want to go into all the dumb shit I read.
